alcyonecorporation Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Hey if it'll drive to Weybridge/weigh bridge...... beko1987 1
Kiltox Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Probably still a better bet in that state than the van I’ve just bought beko1987 1
oldcars Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Footwell needs a hoover beko1987 and Six-cylinder 2
beko1987 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Posted December 4, 2017 The v5 came today, I'm owner number 5! Rides alot better now the tracking has been done too, feels odd, not had a fully tracked up car since the green zx!
egg Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Beko, Ive lost the plot, are you scrapping the ex-Kiltox Goona, and you've bought another one??! Where was the new one from. Sorry, been AWOL. beko1987 and SiC 2
beko1987 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Posted December 4, 2017 Beko, Ive lost the plot, are you scrapping the ex-Kiltox Goona, and you've bought another one??! Where was the new one from. Sorry, been AWOL.Ex Kiltox gooner was poorly due to neglect and usual laguna things Ruffgeezer's 1.9dci laguna was purchased for £150 which meant driving to Junkman's favourite County, and everything he says about driving there is 100% true (40 minutes to drive 10 miles etc) 24v6turbo and a few other people furnished me with a list of parts wanted from the Kiltox one with promise of electronic monies, so they have been removed and are cluttering up my mums utility room Ive swapped lots of pointless little bits over to the new laguna whilst they were there for the picking The remains of the ex Kiltox gooner are being picked up for frag on Thursday Beko can start again with an equally terrible car which should be free once the above is sorted, and pay off his overdraft Life continues (probably) ! Help at all? oldcars and egg 2
SiC Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Beko, Ive you've lost the plot, are you scrapping the ex-Kiltox Goona, and you've bought another an older one??! FTFY egg and beko1987 2
Kiltox Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Neglect?! That car was cherished I’ll have yo...... hahahahaha beko1987 1
beko1987 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Posted December 4, 2017 FTFYThat too. Older is better, less scary*
SiC Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 That too. Older is better, less scary*ScaryOldCortina had one. It scared him... beko1987 and Kiltox 2
beko1987 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Posted December 4, 2017 Neglect?! That car was cherished I’ll have yo...... hahahahahaCherished at one point! I let it slide, and enjoyed utterly free, just add fuel motoring. And tbh in this example it worked, as I could have replaced the rear bushes, flushed the gearbox, changed the oil, fixed the headlights, fixed the coolant leak and changed the thermostat and it still would have shat 2 injector seals. And then I would have had to fix it... Won't be quite as miserable with the new one, itll get a service and such, wont go over the top thoigh
beko1987 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Posted December 4, 2017 ScaryOldCortina had one. It scared him...Lalalalalala not listening
egg Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Thank you! You know, Carina E's are very cheap This is proper shiteing though...
SiC Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Lalalalalala not listeningProbably for the best. Last person (chompy) who bought a similar aged Laguna on here got offended with the banter and hit the nuclear option...! Lacquer Peel, Kiltox and egg 3
beko1987 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Posted December 4, 2017 No fear of that, I can take banter! I know it's a shit car, it's just a shit car that works very well at this precise second (turned off and locked up for the night!
HH-R Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 You could recreate the "Come fly with me" launch advert with the 51 plater.
HH-R Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Surprisingly, it's not on Youtube. It was on TV loads around 2000/1.
ruffgeezer Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Sam, I don't think you need the steering wheel off to get the indicator stalk out, just make sure the wheel is turned away a bit so you don't break the tab on the new one putting it back in!
Kiltox Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Hahahaha - there's definitely a joke in there about how they knew where they'd end upIt really was a game changer in safety terms though. I've seen a few really badly fucked up ones in scrap yards that looked almost perfect inside (bar the bags)
beko1987 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Posted December 4, 2017 Sam, I don't think you need the steering wheel off to get the indicator stalk out, just make sure the wheel is turned away a bit so you don't break the tab on the new one putting it back in!I'll give it a go on the old one, not taken the wheel off yet, but have the air bag off so I can see.
Guest Hooli Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Is that the old new one, or the new old one?
tabact Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Got me looking for the advert. It's the first ad in this commercial break. https://youtu.be/oEbPum00Fs8?t=9s Kiltox 1
Kiltox Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Got me looking for the advert. It's the first ad in this commercial break. https://youtu.be/oEbPum00Fs8?t=9s WE FUCKING NEED to reproduce this with Beko's car on a cold morning when it will struggle to start and he will interrupt the music by cursing it Possibly using his GIF of the faults too Junkman 1
beko1987 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Posted December 4, 2017 Oh my god yes... That would be amazing
beko1987 Posted December 7, 2017 Author Posted December 7, 2017 Sniff Wish they'd told me they were towing it, I'd have secured the front bumper with more than 2 cable ties... And tweaked the rear wheel nuts up... Still, their problem now. The guy was quite surprised he turned up and I already had it running and ready to go! I'm a 1 laguna man again now! Watch it shit itself next week... Also, just realised I'm a bit of a wally got buying a hatchback, where will I sleep at shitefest now! Best check it out next year and see if I need to buy a tent Sigmund Fraud, Shep Shepherd, Eddie Honda and 3 others 6
Anthony Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 Also, just realised I'm a bit of a wally got buying a hatchback, where will I sleep at shitefest now! Best check it out next year and see if I need to buy a tent I admire your optimism that a 'Goona 2 will last long enough that it'll not be terminally broken by the time SF18 rolls around... oldcars, beko1987 and stephen01 3
