loserone Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I thought it was Morlaix. There's a cracking second hand kids clothes shop there, or was the last time I was there. Hoping to pop in in a few weeks time HMC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMC Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 Came back on the afternoon ferry, about half an hours drive on the french side and 20 mins up from plymouth here. The jag was relaxing transport and i love the little v8 its got. Sounds lovely when you work it.

Jenson Velcro Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Very jealous. We should have been in Brittany this weekend as well, but the Thursday night ferry was cancelled. We would then have come back on the Monday afternoon ferry as well. Ended up spending a couple of days around Lydford. Not quite the same…… lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever decide it needs a new home, give me some warning so I can make up excuses not to add another pornographer spec car to my liability ridden fleet of nonsense cars. Thanks.

HMC Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 DOY news It started after being left 6 days. Doesnt sound much to get excited about but i was concerned it had a parasitic battery drain as there were clues the battery had been disconnected/ reconnected regularly (loose cover, clock at wrong time etc) Typical signs of a ropey old banger. Cashback. Also; the ride is so much better on the fat 90s rubber it was intended to have, as some of you rightly predicted. It also looks a bit less like a beached whale. Only a bit though! dome, privatewire, RayMK and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMC Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 CAJ has been collected…. Its gone back to Stockton-on-tees where it was originally registered! Farewell, it follows in the tradition of haunted P4 ownership. I still feel theres unfinished business with these, or a p5, which ive come close to buying about 4 times over the last 20 years. dome, loserone, Angrydicky and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMC Posted April 20, 2023 Author Share Posted April 20, 2023 DOY news First decent length trip in DOY as i had to go to a hotel in plymouth this afternoon. Quite nasty traffic with lot of idling. Pleased to report it didnt overheat. The temp did climb to 100 several times but not over, and each time the cooling fan came on and did its thing. 100 sounds alarming but MB say this is normal, it used to bother me when i had a w124 230e, untill i got used to it. Anyway back in tavistock, rear electric roller blind up, looking like an Albanian Mafia sentinel…..

Schaefft Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 My W140 rises beyond the middle of the temp gauge under hard driving. Seems to be perfectly normal though as the fan only kicks on around that temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
