Just done a big catch up with this. Well done for keeping going!

Some excellent work going on here. Keep plodding along with it, I think you have more than enough ability to get this finished to a very high standard.

Congratulations @Bren

This is the group chat image that @dome thought appropriate, doubt @Supernaut would disagree. Today Wee Shit has been pretending to be a van. It hasn't done too badly really!

Clio behaved* perfectly* this morning. I see no issues here at all...

So as seen elsewhere this left today And because I'm a massive idiot this arrived It was only on the lift as there was nowhere else to park when I was unloading and then loading again. I've not looked at it, just driven it. I'll deal with the issues as they come or throw the towel in, time will tell which outcome.

Excellent work

Good job it isn't winter and dark then!

That looks like a decent result for something over 200,000 miles. Looks to have been well looked after.

A few things have been happening here. First off I was looking for a petrol more door car to use as transport instead of the Civic. I had been checking the local area and a Polo appeared with 12 months MOT. It was very local as it took about 3 minutes to walk around the corner and see it. There was no history with it but it drove nicely. I priced up the bits for doing the cambelt and said not for me due to wanting to get the cambelt done first and the extra money was a no at present. He responded with an agreeable counter offer so I walked round the corner and collected the keys. A quick check of the cambelt that is fitted shows it in good condition so no need to change it! This was the Sunday. Fast forward to the Wednesday and I get a message from @Jim Bell saying congratulations on winning the Astra. I stuck the Civic up for sale and @Flat4 stepped in for that. A couple of weeks later a willing assistant in the shape of @320touring and the Astra was collected. This was the Friday when the county of Angus, where I live, was basically fucked by the storm. The west coast was lovely and sunny. We headed down and collected this magnificent machine. It was parked up at a train station near @320touring and I carried on home. A few days later I was back. Since then I have been using it carefully due to the sticking front brake. One side compared to the other. This was after about half a mile after pressing the brake. A caliper was ordered and last night job was replacement. Old New Bit of vaseline on the threads of the bleed nipple to seal the threads while bleeding. This is rather new as well. Seems to be sorted but time will tell. Currently about 400 miles in and it is a decent car. That's enough for now.

That is tremendous.

File it under press the recirc button when stationary like I did for the duration of ownership.

This is my guess*

250mm of rain in about 24 hours. Lots of Angus is fucked after it.

Been a bit wet up here, these two pictures are a day apart taken from the same place.

Congratulations, don't think anything else is needed to be said

That is impressive!

That's a decent result.

I've always used Google search to find stuff in forums as the search on all of them is shit. No reason for here to be better!

I'm getting that and the 'hanging' that @Nyphur mentioned above

Excellent news. Wonder what is next...

I wonder why it is being a shit and not behaving, it has always just worked using the choke. Glad that the ticket sales have covered your costs and hopefully some for the hassle.

As the past three years have proven it is probably a hollow threat!

I'm threatening to do some work on it.
