Bummer ! Mine went in the same place too  good work on an efficient recovery though  

[The Moog]

I have awarded myself bellend of the day.

We are south of Birmingham making good time, which is great ... Except I have brought the Saab key rather than AX keys....which are hanging up in Accrington!

Oops

[Tickman]

Had to laugh, probably not the same reaction as you though

I definitely laughed.... Better than crying

I am not sure I should be allowed out without a competent adult...

Mission half accomplished

One Ax reunited with its loving owner.

Parts left for lespandres

Northern bound with a very loud mx5

[The Moog]

Little red (almost) corvette

[The Moog]

About 11:30 dropping off NM the mx5.  

In summary 

1 AX dropped off

1 Mx5 collected and dropped off

26.2mpg from the range rover

1 broken saab

1 set of keys 200 miles from the car 

1 set of hoses ordered to fixed Saab

I have discovered heated steering wheels

Now back where I started 

 

 

FIN

Are you posting the keys on down?

I bet he's dying to take the Ax for a drive.

Posted first thing Monday morning - so he should be past the sitting in the drivers seat and making brum brum noises stage

This afternoon managed to brave the cold and get the hoses swapped out.

Bought some maptun silicon ones from Neobrothers.

The split is clear


There was another split further down the hose as well - so just as well I didn't bodge the first split to get to the south.

The pipes were proper buggers to get off the heater matrix




I had order new hose clip pliers during the week as my old ones were knackered

Fitted



Fill with coolant and bobs your uncle. An incredibly unexciting update.

what are these pliers called?

Called hose clip tool.

I had a cheap pair which sheared the ratchet bit (based on Adam savage's concept of buy cheap and if you knacker it through use, buy better ones) and now have replaced them with this set

[The Moog]

Isn't nice to have friends ... Especially ones you can on rely on to be the voice of reason and tell me I am an idiot.

Thanks for a certain friend and a moment of weakness (first beer in 3 weeks) - I shall be delaying my final tat account for 2020 as This weekend I have got two motor vehicles incoming - which will result in at least one leaving.

One of which is motorhome and number two is something I haven't owned before.

I'm guessing that hose is a week spot on 9-5s judging by the previous replies and the face mine did the exact same thing on the M56 when I booted it down the slip road 😂

Its very dramatic when it goes, i felt like the Red Arrows.

My 2.3t did the same drag racing at Crail, all fixed and replaced with go faster maptun hoses.

If one was to comment then hypothetically speaking one might be thinking of sticking a new clutch in and seeing if the dogs agree with the car. If they did then saab roffle, if not then will roffle/sell BX once fixed

lol. 

Judging by Missus Moogs reaction it might be just a case of tootling around in the BX for a month once I have got the clutch fixed and then probably roffle it. Book time seems to be 8 hours for the clutch, but luckily I have Northern Monkeys lift to work on under cover.  Will get a LUK clutch kit, plus driveshaft seals and crank seal plus a clutch cable just in case. 

[Broadsword]

You are definitely the right owner for  the BX right now. Well bought!

We shall see....

[The Moog]

BX Luk clutch, drive shaft seals, clutch cable and crank oil seal ordered of ebay with credit card. 

Anything else worth doing when I am doing the clutch? 

My only concern after reading Strangeangels adventures is that it seems to be nom noming clutches. I am hoping a good quality kit should solve that. 

 

Sod christmas, I am so excited for the weekend for my two new toys ... (ignoring the non working mx5 sitting in the corner!)

Collection 1



all back safe and sound. It's a big old beast but everything works.

The dealer tried everything before we left and noticed that the blown air heater switch was dicky, the radio aerial was a bit pants and the awning was stiff.

Stuck it straight into the workshop and got it all sorted before we left.
