Six-cylinder Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 I gave the Toledo a run out tonight to a local car show via Slowsilvers house to drop of my jump pack that is not taking a charge. 37 trouble free miles including queueing traffic in warm weather. I opened the bonnet when I got to the field and everything looked good, but I wish I had a working temp gauge.

Six-cylinder Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Yesterday evening @Talbot tried to resuscitate the patient, my shitefest bound Peugeot 306. Unfortunately because of a large leak, established with vacuum all I can do is drive it topless. Talbot did not want to end the evening on 100% fail so 10.20pm decided to tackle the only other car on my drive with non working aircon, the Alfa 156. He had heard rumours that it used to work and did the vacuum test which it pasted so went on to regas it. It now blows cold air, so now he had a 50% success rate. Now my aircon regas list is: Citroen Xantia Activa Chrysler Sebring BMW 735iSE Maserati BiTurbo Cadillac Eldorado Touring Coupe BMW 328i Msport E36 BMW 330Ci E46 Volvo V70 1985 Range Rover Talbot may not have time to visit Shitefest 2022!

Six-cylinder Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 Due to the low take up for SAAB DAY 13th August I thought I would move it to the 20th August, unfortunately Adrian who I bought it from is busy 20th. My solution is to hold Saab Day both weekends! That’s right FoD two consecutive weekends 13/14 AND 20/21 August. This is my cunning plan: I will buy a service kit in advance. I will tax and insure the 95 ready for the 13th. I will have the Saab transported to the FoD the week before the 13th August. On the 13th we can start the recommission process. On the 13th with can also go the Adrian’s house and collect any parts he has ready for us. 14th Aug Test drive the Saab in the field. 14th Aug polish it so it looks like new. Assess what parts we need to make the car safe to use on the road. Look out or buys spares needed. Then for the 20th August Carry out any repairs necessary to make the car road useable. Load extra people in the boot to take advantage of the rear facing seats. Collect Fish and Chips with the Saab 95. Who’s in, either weekend or both!

Six-cylinder Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 This is why I call them my favourite garage! Somebody pointed out to me that there were a couple of small rust holes appearing on the underside of my Citroen DS after owning it for 13 years. I thought I had better book it in for a patch to be welded in. A poke about revealed it was far worse than a couple of patches needed. My favourite garage have repeatedly told me they do not do restorations. There was a fair bit of negotiation needed with them saying in the end they needed the proper repair panels and if I could get them then they would do it. Making taking the job on dependent on panels was there undoing for getting out of the job, over a million DS were made and they have always been a popular car. In less than a week they were delivered from Germany. I popped in to see them and was pleased to see before the panels arrived they had started to repair the sill under the passenger door. That’s when the abuse started, we needed to do it in case the car broke in half on our ramp etc! I collected it all repaired today and I am oh so happy with what they have done and wish they would take on all my cars. catsinthewelder, Andyrew, Vantman and 32 others 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted July 21, 2022 Author Share Posted July 21, 2022 Today @Slowsilverplaced his healing hands on the bonnet of my E36 and miraculously the bonnet opened. What's strange about that you say, well the bonnet has been stuck closed for over a week and when we inspected it after it was open found the outer cable had come out of its clamp point and therefore the inner cable had nothing to pull against.
