Lacquer Peel Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Good place as any to ask: Did they do an automatic diesel turbo 306 estate?I don't think so but you can get its ugly platform sister the Xsara estate with an HDi + automatic transmission.

Split_Pin Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Does anyone have a set of 14" Renault hubcaps? The ones on it are aftermarket and knackered.These are inexplicably spectacularly difficult to find. I think our J.Tickman found a set for his daughter's Clio eventually.

fatharris Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 First time I've been in the boot of the MX-5 since the MOT, and I've noticed the battery wasn't secured. I definitely did it before sending it away and can only deduce they removed the battery for the welding work and forgot to resecure it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacquer Peel Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 There is also a Xantia N/A Automatic. Awful.I still want to try one, as if the Xantia 1.9D manual I had wasn't slow enough. You could get the phase 2 Xantia 1.9TD with an auto box. somewhatfoolish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehedgehog31 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Scant progress on the cars of late. Progress on the MGF was halted thanks to a locking wheel nut key which dissolved on it's first deployment. This kid on Irwin set was procured Arse duly handed to locking nuts; Now I've no excuses. Plan is to clean up underside, vactan and hammerite as much as possible. Then strip down and clean brakes, give it a once over and get it in for MOT. somewhatfoolish, Lacquer Peel, dome and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saabnut Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Today, for the first time in almost exactly 40 years, I relived part of my childhood. Yes, I rode a bicycle! OK it was only about half a mile but it is a start. My friends left a selection of bikes here for the family when they visit, and as today is rather nice and I really need to get fitter, I dug out one of the mountain bikes. First thought was I do not remember this much effort being required, but then noticed 2 almost completely flat tyres. Added some air and away I went, my first time on a mountain bike (they had not been invented last time I was on a bike) and I hated it. Returned home and put it away, and looked at the others, 2 other MTBs and a ladies dutch bike. Decided to take out the Dutch bike, but having learnt my lesson, added air to the tyres before trying it. Much better, so I think over the next few days I will start using it and see how I get on.

clayts450 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Good for you mate ! It is knackering getting back on a bike, but if you build up the distance you travel every day it soon becomes easier. I did this pre-return to car driving, and had thighs like treetrunks when I started doing 10 mile rides, when about three weeks previous I'd felt faint crossing the busy road up a slight incline. I've got to relearn the skills soon hopefully if I'm successful in my garage application (neighbouring council) Saabnut and HMC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
