I changed the engine oil and oil filter today and there was some good news. I have until now used a heavy duty diesel engine oil in this and think it has cleaning stuff in it, this has now got all the oil sludge out of the engine. This was the oil pre-filter that came out of the engine now after 1000km and had little in it. For comparison, this is how the pre-filter was at the last oil change, which was only 280km. This was then so clogged that it was not possible to clean and had to be replaced. So now with the oil sludge gone I can do regular oil changes. And now switching to a slightly thicker oil. After cleaning the pre-filter, it was to find a new oil filter and install them. The oil filter on these is, as I have previously mentioned, is a challenge as it is tight and must be careful that the pre-filter does not come off during installation. But got it done this time too. I like the oil filters on these they are unlike anything else I have seen before. So with new engine oil and filters it was time to start it again.

Finally got the summer wheels and tires on the modern after almost 6 months on noisy studded winter tyres. It is so quiet and nice to drive now and can finally hear the noise of the 3 cyl engine again.

For a Norwegian, the price is quite reasonable and I would have bought it for that. And I also like the mileage can't be many surviving Favorit with such high mileage.

@Yoss I have been looking for Skoda vans for sale after your post and finally found one for sale in Slovakia. https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=357453838&dam=false&fr=%3A1998&isSearchRequest=true&ms=22900%3B%3B%3B&pageNumber=5&ref=srp&refId=5dd8c1ad-9662-f40b-e0dc-6d6aff9efa2e&s=Car&sb=rel&searchId=5dd8c1ad-9662-f40b-e0dc-6d6aff9efa2e&vc=Car

There was a van of these in Mandal Norway about 20-25 years ago, it is the only one I have seen. Would love to have one but they are probably extinct here now, even the Favorit is rare here. Don't know if you've seen this page about the Favorit? https://www.skoda-storyboard.com/en/press-releases/skoda-favorit-entering-era-success-30-years-ago/ It has some history and pictures like this one below of the prototype for transporting disabled people.

I'm struggling to see how this will help with getting an erection.

That's a nice car and I can't remember seeing many older Saabs in black, is it a rare color?

Gotta love Australians here's another one Wonder if they have a viagra called get stiff ya bastard or something similar.

Will see what I can do!

Came across this photo from Mandal Norway from 1959 and in the photo are two of the towns taxis a 1956 Chevrolet and an early 1950s Desoto.

This is very nice, the only thing is that it doesn't have a gasket, so will have to see if I can find one.

It was metal and I would like to have one in metal again, but the problem with used ones is that the gaskets are bad and I haven't found new gaskets, at least for the W110. A metal one with diesel written on it like the original on this one is something I want so I'll see if I can find one.

The buildings in the background look Scandinavian but I don't recognize the registration plate.

Today is actually spring and warm, so can now open up the garage for the first time since October. The first job was to add a diesel additive and then change the fuel tank cap as the old one was leaking. Old one don't look so good. The only new one I found was this which a Mercedes specialist said would fit and it did. Then it was time to start it for the first time since October and it started quickly this year, faster than last year but as always was a bit grumpy in the first few minutes. My current phone doesn't film as well as the last one so this isn't the best but it's something. Now got the charging tested after I made a completely new charging system this winter and the result is 14.56 at idle without headlights and 13.10 at idle with headlights, so can call this a success. The next thing is to look at the cooling system and change the coolant and maintenance and it is ready for the road again. Hope it happens within 2 weeks waiting for the roads to be clean and safe from salt.
