chaseracer Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 The electrifying new work tool has been delayed by a few days so, in an uncharacteristic fit of Gallic pique, the Blingo shat its crankshaft sensor yesterday. It's like they KNOW. ? Lucky I've got the 205 as a backup daily! Ah, bollocks... ? Off up the local rental place at 0730 this AM, then...

brownnova Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Yeah could've been worse, just awaiting their quote for replacing the brake pipes now, failed on three out of the four and advisory for the fourth, so looks like a whole new set! Weirdly they’ve not been an advisory on the last 4 MoTs (although they were 5 years ago) and the brake disc condition which was an advisory last year (and I did nothing about as I checked and decided they were fine) wasn’t an advisory... shows how subjective the MoT really is. paulplom and mitsisigma01 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dozeydustman Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Corolla's dodgy rear lights issue turned out to be an internal short between the 5w and 21w filaments in the brand new bulb. Had a spare. Freebie fix. The best kind. mrbenn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 The Civic has to go, it needs specialist insurance and my dad can't be on the policy due to his age, so it's not much cop to us. I doubt anyone on here will be interested as I want £1500-2000 for it. If anyone does happen to want a £1500 JDM yo go-kart, rust free and low mileage, let me know... choices of wheels and steering wheels are available. Besides something very nice has come up that's cheaper to insure. eBay auction so no guarantee I'll get it, but it'll be a shame if I don't.

beko1987 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I have Saturday afternoon to have a look at the zx and work out what the massive knocking noise is, diagnose it and get to the shops before they shut at 5 to buy any parts needed... Im fairly sure it's the lower ball joints (it's deffo on the front, fairly convinced it's on the drivers side, seems more affected with road undulations, smacking drain covers with the passenger side than shit road surfaces like the droplinks were when they went, and the noise all but goes when I corner.) I had a peer under earlier with the wheels on full lock and nothing looks untoward, but I suppose it won't be externally visible. I've never diagnosed anything properly with a pry bar before... Just need to hope nothing snaps before then really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nacho man Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Took a trip around Europe the last 6 odd days.Here’s a few spots.This beaut was parked up at a hotel one night. This early e30 was on the street and was mint, it was manual and just ace x a trillion. The vectra next to mine was a 100 special edition. Owner had the best moustache I have ever seen. Here is a bit of a write up of the trip, contains moderns mind.
