320touring Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 This is such a happy story so far.Verily the dream is being lived.

320touring Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 All the bits I ordered have arrived. The wing mirror glass looks like a pain to fit in the dark- May try it tomorrow. The gear gaiter just looks plain wrong- should have a widder top to fit the gearknob and also be elasticated to fit into the groove Luckily the dipstick holder fitted nae bother so that was a win:) egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

320touring Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 A little bump up for this.. I've not done much recently-trying to get a myriad other things sorted, but I have been slowly gaining parts.. A spare hubcap has been acquired and there is a complete passenger mirror on the way.. I'mma ask re how to protect the bloody thing afore the winters too egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

320touring Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 2nd tank of fuel in tonight I must have been "enjoying" it slightly more.. 403.2 miles, 53.25L so 34.42mpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
320touring Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 My semi-regular trot down to Dumfries was rudely interrupted by a flashing coolant warning light this morning.. Thankfully this happened Before I availed myself of the m74 southbound.. A split in the header tank return pipe was the source of the steam. I used all my resourcefulness to craft a "2 fingers from a later glove, plus cable ties" resolution, which held for the 75 miles to Dumfries. A length of fuel hose and Some rerouting sorted it before the return journey. SiC, dome, Tickman and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"but why would you want to spend all weekend doing this to it for?" Because I like doing it and don't do it enough! Anyway, says the guy who came to sf17 with a car where all the doors didn't open...

Lacquer Peel Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I used to think I liked working on cars but it gets tiring when the car you rely on every day needs constant tinkering. Richard, DeeJay, 320touring and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigmund Fraud Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I used to think I liked working on cars but it gets tiring when the car you rely on every day needs constant tinkering. The AS solution to this is simple : just buy more cars ! The Moog, fraser.innes.3 and Lacquer Peel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
