dome Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Another 300 miles completed at the weekend just gone in comfort and at 33mpg indicated. Coolant seems fine, I'll keep an eye on it though. I let the good lady drive it back up from Stranraer on Saturday whilst I snoozed in the passenger seat-it's a very comfy car to be chauffeured in.

I could give a home to your Rover if you have too many cars, you know how much I love* a car with cooling system issues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cort16 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I do like it but I'd only be tempted out of my p6 for snother ancient heap . The recore of the rad seems to have fixed the cooling issues (said that before ) dome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recore of the rad seems to have fixed the cooling issues (said that before ) It was worth a try. I've had the horn for a P6 for a long time, recent activities on this forum haven't helped.

cort16 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I keep convincing myself I'm going to sell it then I drive it and change my mind.I fixed it while I was in the huff so didn't update the thread. dome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dome Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Well the Jag finally went via eBay to a couple of lads who poked, prodded, sucked their teeth and then made a derisory offer that still left me healthily in profit. So, gumtree and ebay have been getting studied and last night I agreed to purchase another car. A 4x4 was on the list but this is the wrong time of year to buy one. The haunted P6 was tempting but I don't have the space/balls for that one Last night a viewing occurred and a deal was reached. Not particularly Autoshite, although it does have the following redeeming* features. It's French.It's not moved in monthsIt has electrical issues. Collection on Friday!

cort16 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I'd say it was that scrappy v6 xm that made junkman think a p38 Range Rover seemed like a more sensible proposition but they are most definetly shite. Therefore I think it's Clio 182. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dome Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 Some interesting guesses so far. Collection confirmed for Friday night. The question is, do I reveal all at the Scotoshite meet tonight or do I keep everyone in suspenders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dome Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Collectioning begins after work this evening. I have the full resuscitation kit in the girlfriends car to hopefully bring a car home which is sitting with a flat battery, stuck on brakes and a healthy dose of Frenchness. Naturally a hammer is involved. I may require alcohol by the time I get home. Stay tuned shitehawks... oldcars, cort16, drum and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
