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 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 )

 

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. Have you updated your thread with progress?

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 months

It has electrical issues.

 

Collection on Friday!

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...
