00833827 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Its beyond me how a man with no automotive qualifications, limited inteligence and quite frankly poor body odour can get his car a safety accreditation but i somehow managed it for the little Pajero.

NorthernMonkey Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 The last Bini I bought chucked all its coolant out before I’d even got it on the truck at Belle Vue auctions. Got it back, sorted out the mechanical issues and valeted it to within an inch of its life. A day later, the Calor driver dropped 4 full 47kg propane bottles on the fucker. barmatt, BorniteIdentity, skattrd and 8 others 2 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cms206 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 My mum passed away today. She was 70. I was only speaking to her on Tuesday afternoon.

What do you think? I think the designer of the car will be thinking "That looks shit" I think the chassis design team will be thinking "That will be shit" I think they look shit. And I'm pretty sure that functionally they will do nothing for the ride or handling. We really need a before picture. barefoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Got a few jobs done today: First, parked up the Bini in the naughty corner. Tried out my new o2 sensor socket: Works well and access is just the right angle to get an extension and breaker bar on it. Some bracketry needs to be removed to get access to the plug on the loom. Doesn't look too sooty, 12 years of exhaust and some oil puffs will have tired it out. I'm keeping it as a spare however. Just waiting on the new sensor arriving now. Mrs_Pin is back in the Clio again, bad times when an R56 is backed up by a 172! Got a 2nd hand door seal for the Audi. This is where it was leaking, right on the join twixt hood and pillar. Had to undo this screw: Old one came off easy enough. Managed not to break this plastic membrane inside the old seal as the replacement one didnt have it. You can see the thin flange (quiet at the back) which is warped and split on the old seal on the left: The new one was an absolute hoor to get on though, I had to get in touch with my inner Giant Haystacks to get the strength to push it on at the windscreen pillar area. Lashed it with water and no leaks thus far. chaseracer, 320touring, Tickman and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
