Comfy, very nippy and never less than 51MPG on the motorway. Manual though - so the dreaded DMF rattled since I got it until the day I sold it. Was a reliable steed. Good luck with yours!

clayts450 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 And so the conveyer belt of MOTs begins.... Streetwise booked in with a (new to me) local indie for Thursday - explained the CV outer boots will need doing as likely to fail, so he agreed to test first, then do the work plus anything else after. Not that I'm expecting 'anything else' - the car has done 1700 miles in 18 months, barely been used, and the two advisories I could sort out (brake discs and tyres) have been done. Told him there's no mad rush to get the work done, as long as it gets done in time for a free retest. Very popular place by the looks of it. Recommended as one of the owners is married to a former boss of mine at the Housing Association, and I'd rather throw money at an indie than my usual go to chain, F1 Autocentres. Next up is the Accord coupe, just waiting on an unobtainium replacement caliper slider pin to arrive, hopefully tomorrow, to stop the squeaking caliper. Will get that one booked in early next week. Then the 620 a fortnight after - gonna chance my arm with that one and just throw it in. A month later it's the turn of the 420 - this one may prove trickier, and may need me to take it up to Rover Revival beforehand to look at the rear trailing arm bushes. January, and it's the turn of the van, and the ungrateful bastard. egg and LightBulbFun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Got some OEM mud guards off the bay for the i10, as noted earlier, deleted from dealer inventory already! No fixings, but I'm hoping they will mostly use the existing wheel liner screws apart from the odd one on the side. Shep Shepherd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puddlethumper Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Just got back from spending time with @Saabnut and sorting the Roller door out. Turned out to be more a case of repositioning hinges and a few other bits. I didn't take any pics because, lets be honest, hinges are not terribly interesting. Anyway here is a gratuitous pic. Look at the front on that. Phwoar !!!!! I am as jealous as a very green thing.

Borsuq Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 A good friend of mine bought a mk 2 Clio Phase 1 1.6 16V recently. Cool car overall, but God do I love the wheels on it.

Ghosty Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Looked at car. Car is good. Seller wants to let the eBay auction run to its end even though I managed to get him to admit how much he wanted for it, which is annoying, so looks like it's a waiting game.

Since I have cleverly deduced what it is (by you telling me what it is), I'm wondering what your reaction would be if you got outbid and then I turned up in it at the next Northern Powerhouse. Almost worth buying it for that alone! stonedagain, SiC, brownnova and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorniteIdentity Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 A nice segue from @Borsuqahead, Ive also been indulging in Clio trimz porn. This WAS my Clio And this is it now... IMHO much more Frencherer. And it’s what my old one had so makes me even more nostalgic. Entirely correct 2CR FM and Fat Willy’s sticker also added for more scene points.

yes oui si Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Not too bad. Got a set of tyres handy for it as well. So... Keep or sell? The guy was very complimentary on its overall condition, said it must have been well cared for by previous owners. He's a Peugeot licker as well - pootles to the little hamlet garage in a red 205 automatic. Tickman, paulplom and Cavcraft 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The looks are OTT but they normally have bonkers twin turbo conversion so at least the looks are backed up with a serious increase in go over the standard dancing donkey.
