On the train now..lack of charging point is giving me RANGE ANXIETY. iPhone 15 pro max batteries are absolutely dire fyi plus side I’ve a table. I feel safe with this table

Arrived at the station. Big scary monument to a departed deity here…

Been a while since I bothered to do a collection thread. first leg..in the back of a “reasonably” priced Uber to the train station. Destination..approx 3 hours away on the train. Guesses welcome and will win absolutely nothing but a subtle nod from me. My toilet visits are CONFIDENTIAL

I’ve always put new copper washers on the banjo fittings just as good measure. No point risking it for a copper washer that costs pennies.

On the M40

Lovely selection received, always love the old motoring books! Thank you very much, chocolates have already disappeared 👀

Isn’t GT line a KIA trim level? The badge looks far too new for the car as well, just doesn’t sit right with the others.

Received mine today and sent mine off too 👍

In my experience, aftermarket thermostats just never work as well as OE. It’s one of the only parts I bother getting OE as they work perfect straight out of the box.

There needs to be a scared button on here as Jesus Christ that would have shit me up in real life

Sod it, I’m in too. I’ll PM you now

I think I’ve seen this one before, either on here or in real life. Today spotted in Radlett

The folding headrests do work! They’re already in the folded position hence why nothing happened. If you raise them manually, then press the button they then flip down

This look gorgeous and takes me back to mine I had about 10 years ago when values were rock bottom. Mine was also the same engine and never felt underpowered. That rough start is probably the OVP relay iirc? Had to replace mine. Sold it to a chap who flew from Scotland to buy it but looked over it with a fine tooth comb for the princely sum of £750! I remember the fuel filler cap feeling so heavyweight, almost as if it was made from billet aluminium or something. Cracking purchase

Yeah come to think of it, there were two being trailered together and the one in front was also another Panther but my mate didn’t get a picture in time. If you zoom in you can make it out just. once again I am astounded at the price of one of these things!

Tomket aren’t Chinese they’re an Eastern European tyre brand produced in Czech Republic. They’re meant to be half decent tbh

Saw this on the motorway today

Re the SBC the one I had used to do it quite often and sometimes when I unlocked the car for first use, and the chap I bought it off who had it years said it did the same. I believe it’s fairly normal for this era, as you just have to put up with the strange noise every so often.

We saw this on the motorway the other day. Gorgeous. A google on how much they go for and I am astonished. I’d be terrified to take it out!

Somewhere in the Midlands

All yours chap. Pop me a PM and I’ll sort it with you

I now am not going to this, anyone want my ticket for free?

Literally to echo @Bren. Dayco/INA kits are top quality and OE. I had the XF done last week or so at a specialist and they showed me the one that came out, Dayco branded and didn’t even look like it had any wear, it was the original. Another Dayco kit went in.

I’ve already had the timing belt and water pump done on the XF, so today I gave it a well overdue service. Opie Oils was brilliant for it all, oil/filter, air/pollen/fuel/sump plug and seal, and new wipers. Longest thing was taking the bottom cover off tbh.
