wuvvum Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Fired up the Charade at lunchtime to run it down to the car park to finish fitting the air horn, and I noticed a distinct puff of blue smoke from the exhaust. I hope it's not starting to go the same way as the Wobblermobile - although it has done over 100K and I think it's a bit of a TADTS with them. It cleared after about a minute anyway so hopefully I've still got a while before it starts failing the MOT on emissions. I might try sticking a treatment in it to see if that helps. Or give it an oil change with thicker oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUNO Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 A farmer got a wee bit overenthusiastic with making his bonfire burn better.

grogee Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Took the Puma on the school run this morning. I was presented with a choice of 2 (two) working cars to choose from, a rarity in itself. Decided on the Puma mainly because it warms up nice and quickly. Now that it doesn't try to asphyxiate me when the car isn't moving, I was struck by how much I like it. I wasn't even going fast - didn't exceed 30mph, yet it was still fun to drive a few miles. The heated windscreen novelty still hasn't worn off, either. Just brilliant.

For me, definitely the latter. For those with a garage it's not relevant. Maybe it sort of depends on your eyesight - short sighted more likely to be bothered by the filaments than long sighted?

reb Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I'm away to drop some parts for my old fiesta off with my tame mechanic who is doing MOT prep on it for the new owner. Given he's primarily a Saab man I'm sure he'll have something to say about the 855! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyslexic Viking Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Snow chaos day 4. Got only 30 centimeters with snow last night so snow clearing has gone a little easier today. Have without exaggerating over 1.5 meters of snow on flat ground now and snow piles are higher. Was also contacted by the news who wanted to take an interview about the snow chaos something I declined. Here are some pictures.

barefoot Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Fuck me that's some snow! I'm posting more about twats than cars at the mo, because both the Rover & the SCirocco are pissing me off. The VW needed some suspension bits & a mixture fiddle for the MOT, what feels like an eon later, I've finally got it running just how I like it again, but it still pulls to the right. The first specialist tyre place I took it to was staffed by young lads who were all called 'Half a job Bob'. Crap. No point complaining, I took it elsewhere to a bloke with a beard who tells me that there are siezed bolts with specialist washers which he will order. He will call me when they arrive & he promises that all will be sorted. The 75 on the othet hand has a minor coolant leak, the parts have arrived, but they came late & the car missed its repair slot. It will be sorted tomorrow and in theory I should be a happy bunny again in time for xmas. Jim Bell, Tickman and Sigmund Fraud 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
