Hers: Ovlov 340 4 door saloon His : Ovlov 340 2 door hatch Both cars were (entirely by coincidence) stopgaps. Both cars were true shitemobiles and were independently bridged within our first year together. He got a V8 RR with mild HGF which became hers after the 340 died. He then dailied his 34 year old LR until the chassis finally crumbled.

Likely replaced by wallet leak 😀 Do this - it is a good looking and rare beast

Tbh I don't recall if the 820 had any immobiliser lights or LEDs - just that the maintenance guys (fleet car) never trusted the plip on the remote and said to always just use the key.

No, he was raging so hard he had to pull over and let his personal coolant level drop Mind you - those number plate are shite (and inside lane is left considerately clear so that us folks in 60mph limited HGV type things can safely* undertake the 57 mph car things in lane 2)

Lovely looking car there - much jealous. Master Grogee looks to be handy with the tools - I was wondering tho' - Ello, ello, ello, what have we got 'ere then, sonny? - I'm picking a lock, officer. - Plainly. Care to explain why? - Yes. It's the initiation test for the Bill Sykes School of Autoshite Kiting -<frown> And your name is? - Artful Dodger McGrogee. Mr Bill Sykes McGrogee has promised Mini Eggs next if I succeed.

There was a 'thing' on the 820 where the immobiliser would get confused after a battery disconnect and you had to do some tribal dance involving opening/closing doors, boot and bonnet then lock/unlock the car after you had reconnected the battery (My ex-wife had an 820 company car back in the day and I took the battery off to recharge after we came back from a holiday and, off course, car would then not start. Local dealer's workshop manager phoned the fix through to Mr. Egg on Face here) If the 827 is the same immobiliser unit then could this be the problem (forgive me if it has already been considered and excluded)?

Discos were on carbs and not EFi when first introduced, I think LR were trying to get them slotted in as a cheap RR idea - so the first Discos were, pretty much, a mashup of my 1983 2 door RR with some Montego switches (let's face it - they had the two door chassis available, parts bin full of switches etc, why not). I think when Disco went to 3.5 EFi when the RR moved up to the 3.9 EFi - don't quote me on that bit. (Heh - don't forget the powerful MPi - my farrier at the time had one from new.....).

He's back - 6am this morning shouting his head off. Thought I saw one during the week getting mobbed by a thrush but audible confirmation this morning, Spring is officially Sprung.

Any better in Welsh ? No, thought not. Not sure if a graphic designer got paid oodles of monies for this or if it was the result of an age 4 to 6 schoolkids competition.

Denso got less dense today (maybe)

Bins? Euwww - there's posh - we get this four 'thing' collection this week:

+1 Herald too https://www.jamespaddock.co.uk/heater-valve-delaney-galley560612 ??? We had two things you could pull out of the dash on my Dad's - the heater control and the choke. One worked, the other didn't.

It's been dropped £200 - another 11.5 weeks it'll be free

I think it'll go at that price - if it wasn't a saloon I'd be tempted myself but (1) we need four seats and room for various dogs (2) SWMBO is frowning over my shoulder

This was on Anglia Car Auctions site with a BIN of £2,500 before they punted it through the sale last night. Bidding started at £1500 and stalled at £1800 - they've still not lowered the BIN https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/modern-auctions/2639-17-Apr-2024/5753~1-2010-jaguar-xf-s-luxury-v6-auto 2010 JAGUAR XF S LUXURY V6 AUTO, 98K miles, "Coolant low light on" Motorway Muncher or Hanger Queen?

Totnes though - you have to wear Jesus sandals and hippy clothes 🏳️‍🌈 The £60 a month tax is a bit of a crippler but the price tag - tempting Just whacked it through an insurance comparison - higher than an SLK for me? Weird

Ahhh - yes, you have me there. 15 love - I'm pleading age and early morning squinting

Got a job there once as an extra - not on a Bond Movie though

No idea [edit] Spy Who Loved Me - best bit in that was the 2CV cutainraiser chase and Sheena Easton in the credits. Have the driver Woolarding

Rover 25, low mileage but no MOT (last one suggests maybe a little frilly underneath) Swansea £300

Any supermarket car park (other than Lidl) seems rather full of the German stuff these days - lucky my wife has a Bini. Oh, hang on.....

That light covers a multitude of sins - Sprog now drives hers armed with an ELM327 and an iPhone app (MAF glitch) - saves her visiting the old people every other day
