Six-cylinder Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 I hate winter, even lots of our cars have left us, where can they be hiding? The VP could not run away because the starter is broken. Here they are playing ghosts under sheets! Small problem I thought I counted 25 cover + the MX5 which was still wet when I took it up there this morning, now at home I can only think of 25 cars in total I remember being up there!

Six-cylinder Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 One advantage of having a drive clear out was I found an old 7 series BMW lurking in the back corner so I used it today to run my errands! Mrs6C reported a revering light out and n-s tail light was out although the on board system said R/fog light! I have replaced the bulbs now and they seem to all work. timolloyd, DVee8, RobT and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMW allegedly spent something like £700 million developing the E32 over the course of about seven years. An extraordinary sum for 1987. egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 As widely covered in the collection thread we now have the Sebring at home and I have been looking at it all day but just have not had time to lower the hood etc. What I have learnt about the Sebring from driving it 350 miles. Only fan speeds 3 and 4 work, no heat on ram even on the motorway Heated rear window does not work Rattle from suspension Rattle from rear trim or hood Hood inner lining coming away at bottom of rear screen Worst bit is it would not hot restart at Sandbach services for some time. The seller said he had a problem and thinks it is the immobiliser so has ordered and is sending on a module and key. I am not so sure because the cars turned over but did not start. I think Richarmorris is more likely to be right with a coil pack problem. The dashboard is blue It has heated seats that pleases Mrs6C greatly Saabnut, beko1987, Mrs6C and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtriple Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I really like that Sebring, I did look at one before buying the Merc but it was to far away so couldn't be arsed. Wish I had now as yours look great. Mrs6C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs6C Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 He hasn't worked out the fuel consumption yet but 27-30 wouldn't surprise me. I seem to remember getting mid-30s from the 2.5L V6 Sebring convertibles I used to drive in the USA, so with this being a tad larger at 2.7L and @Six-cylinder having a bit of a lead foot, your estimate sounds about right...

richardmorris Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 What’s it doing? Not turning over, turning with no firing or turning with the occasional splutter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 It is turning over and attempting to start but not catching. On advice of the seller I have just locked it with the key and unlocked it it has now started up straight away. I am going to the field this afternoon to work on the green Range Rover so I will take it and if fails to start there, then it can be left up there.
