🚨L1's 🇫🇷 shenanigans. EV eats tyres in under a year!

[loserone]

All collections start with a PC++

 

[loserone]

Jus de merde

[loserone]

Currently feeding the highly esteemed collection compadre Mr @Jimbob McGregor who hasn't been breakfasted yet.  This is Tow Law at its finest.

[yes oui si]

Canta! Canta! Canta! Canta! Canta! Canta! 

[loserone]

It's not this, this is @PSAPerv's

[loserone]

We'll start the clues here

[loserone]

Reports of a pre-booked MOT which may not actually be attended are being looked into.

 

A bit like these holes.

[loserone]

These tyres are only flat at the bottom, fortunately.  

[PSAPerv]

Christ, postage already and I've just got home 😂

[loserone]

It's all getting very festive here.

 

[loserone]

And now it's fucking Christmas!

[320touring]

Good to see that @loserone is holding up the flag for shit old Renaults🤣

 

These meganes are lovely, and the 1.6 is a great engine.

Strange as the rest of the sills look solid, at least they look an easy fix 😉

[dome]

Excellent work, I really like these. 

A certain Fife based Renault botherer may have parts if you're needing any, give him a shout

Fingers crossed! It's where they put bungs at the factory, the holes have just got bigger 

[yes oui si]

Fit bigger bungs, problem solved.

The inner sill does look rather good other than lacking protection,  

[loserone]

Looking very pleasant in the daylight

Quick pre MOT check:

It's hot.

Phew

Earth calling France 

Hmmmm

And it tells the future.

First of all it was time for a run to @scaryoldcortina's.  Dropped a sproglet off at school.

Got some fuel on the way

Was spotted by someone else.

Arrived in good time and sent a message to let him know.

Went for a walk

Ooh, I could walk home.

Eventually Scary found his phones and came along shortly after lunch.

[loserone]

Some of the cars around here are mint.

Some have already featured in my fleet and this thread.

Some look like they have been dragged from a hedge

And some need a tickle with the sparky stick.

[loserone]

Two neat little patches welded on, time for a test.

This brake pipe needs cleaning up a bit.  And there's some others.

This beautiful volcano is about as porous as it looks.

 

[loserone]

At some point just before the emissions test Andy noted some interesting* smell and we discovered the radiator fan seized up and smoking 

[loserone]

Unplugged that quick and mid emissions test this happened.

 

[loserone]

Happily the test was nearly done so just held on for a moment and it passed.

 

Helpfully the car then flashed up it's temperature light.

 

Turned it off, finished the test, then let it cool down, topped it up and off home I head with a pass.  Woohoo!

[yes oui si]

More ups and downs than two blues and a bottle of red. 

[Sunny Jim]

An MOT pass and you've steam cleaned the engine bay!

Result = winna
