Split_Pin Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I've got a set of 4 facelift Vectra B LS wheel trims in 15 inch which someone can have for free if they want. They are scuffed but no chips or cracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crispian_J_Hotson Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 For some reason, this reminds me of an old cartoon where a character saws a circle in the floor and then falls through it. But I guess it does take all sorts to make a world and life is busy. Having worked on air springs I understand how it could go wrong so easily and with terrible consequences, so if you are thinking of repairing your saggy motor car then just spend a few minutes covering how you intend to do it. https://www.hse.gov.uk/safetybulletins/air-suspension-systems-on-vehicles.htm?utm_source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=coronavirus&utm_term=alert-1&utm_content=mvr-12-jun-20 SiC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removing all the grime of it has revealed the horizontal surfaces to have the typical Citroen laquer. Thankfully it's not too bad and hopefully the treatment applied will halt any more degradation for a while yet.

The Marina might be next for the chop ? I''m not not sure yet but as lovely as the car is and I know i'll never find another car in that condition i really want something a little more exciting to drive which has rear seat belts and is also tax exempt (it's much easier to live with and insurance is cheaper too!) and want to use the money from both cars to pay for it. Have you still got the van? My granada hasn't moved out it's garage in 8 months, it's a real shame, it's probably better for you and the car to sell it on to someone who'll use it.

My VW bloke did a similar with my bus, whilst returning from the paintshop to his workshop - about 500 yards, he popped it in for MOT with no glass & doors held closed with masking tape. It failed. paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's back this afternoon with lovely new fuel pipes... Why did it take so fucking long? Apparently the correct pipes are difficult to obtain. Now I don't mind that, and I appreciate that bits for old cars don't grow on trees, but a phone call or a text message or something would have been appreciated. I had words. That's Cavendish Porsche, if you're wondering where to lose your expensive motor car for a month.

Zelandeth Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Enough procrastination. Time to actually deal with this spaghetti.

00833827 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 A bit blurry but this is a tray that attaches to the back of the front passenger and driver seats of my Kangoo. One was missing so i got this one from ebay for a fiver. Its for a Scenic but i will be surprised if they are any different. Maybe a shade of grey out but at least my kids wont fight over which side they want to sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is infinitely better than it was when I got the van...back then there were two sets of battery terminals floating around in the battery box and half a dozen wires connected to nothing - several of which turned to be unfused and connected to the vehicle battery + at the other end...how it never caught fire is beyond me. richardmorris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarvinsMom Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Today has been a good day, finally i think things are starting to get back to something like normal. after the upset of the last few weeks, ending with the FiL's funeral last week, Rodney Mini has finally come out to play. After cutting down the 2 foot high weeds that had grown up in front of the garage first.... Now Kerry said she thought that the car was loosing oil,like a lot of oil, and while, yes there is a far sized spot on the garage floor, a look underneath has shown that the drive shafts are dry, as was the back of the engine and around the rocker box. the gear change though is oily,as is to be expected. Alos, the car was running like a back of shite, or it was last time it was out before lockdown. it was miss-firing when given nay sort of revs, but we drove it over to the garage for some fresh petrol. in a rush of blood to the head i even put sper-max-v-extra-whatever high octane in. well about 1 and half gallons worth...... with how ever much stale fuel was in there, i figured that some better petrol wouldn't do it any harm. so much so that the miss-fire has gone. which is nice. So the tiny car has been to the in-laws,for a soapy wash and polish before coming home. And i have had the best drive across the moors in like 9 months or so,cos that would be the last time that one of the tiny cars was out and on the road. Yes, today has been a good day. andyberg, Tenmil Socket, anonymous user and 22 others 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Earrings Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 New upgraded rear wiper arm/blade fitted. Looks a million times better and really suits the car, old one has been binned. Popped in some subtle LED number plate lights too and changed the reverse lightbulb. Noticed it was out the other day and it's the easiest thing, you push in a tang and it pops out. It still said motorcraft on so possibly the original or just a dealer visit. Fully working now. Jazoli and Lord Sterling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I had to nip to the bank in Newcastle yesterday so parked (for free, thanks tescos) in Gateshead and walked over the bridge into town, spotting this on the way looks like it could be closed down but, by the time I'd come back, the doors were open and fettling was going on, disappointingly no reliants were visible, only boring normal cars paulplom, anonymous user, LightBulbFun and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those little arms that connect between the ballast and the suspension arms look really frail compared to the rest of the cars structure around it. I believe the ones on mine have been replaced at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
