Something I must do to mine. I do think that the mk4 Mondeo has aged well. All modern cars look so aggressive now,but the Mk4 doesn't.

We did that to my brother in law's Trafic. The seat frame was so worn out that the metalwork was poking through. I don't know why the standard seats are so flimsy?

Mine is 18 years old and has almost 300,000 km on it so seat wear is to be expected. But the use they are exposed to probably means a lot to the seats. grogee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fumbler Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Spotted this beautifully dilapidated heap at the filling station Giffer owned Volvo 340 REDLINE whatever that means. It was DELIGHTFULLY shonky. It's got a colourful MoT history should you want to search it up. F269 DYC if you're interested.

brownnova Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Perhaps this is more of a grump… but why do no garages want to weld any more? My 9000 failed on a small patch of welding needed on the inner arch. Called my two go to places and no we don’t weld any more. Phoned two local garages I have used previously, one says we only weld if we have to on things we have MoTd and another fobbed me off. Found a body shop local to work “no we don’t weld we farm our welding out to X garage” so I phoned them “sorry can’t help my welder is broken and we’re not fixing it” One classic car place said it wasn’t classic enough for them, one other said they could do it but not within the retest window. Thankfully I have now found a place to do it, in Rhyl of all places. Hope they’re good! My friend who welds (gates and fences and stuff mainly) had offered to have a go… but he’s not welded anything car related for about 20 years! I think it’s time I learned to weld. In other news… after three outgoings so far in 2022, I appear to have agreed the first incoming!

wuvvum Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 My local garage will happily weld cars that they've failed on rot. I've not asked them about taking on other welding work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garages never wanted to weld, they had to because everything needed welding all of the time. Now nothing needs welding until it's scrap fodder, so it's just not worth the hassle of having the kit/skills to do it. You can be doing mechanical work on three cars parked next to each other no bother, chop a bit out of a motor with an angle grinder or get some weld splatter on an adjacent car and you're fucked.

reb Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Jump started the Volvo and went to the unit. Used my newly acquired yard brush to remove most* of the dusty rusty shite from the floor. Much improved. Still got to do the bits amongst the assorted shite around the edges, but I'll wait until I'm moving it to put on shelves anyway. First time I've swept the place since I moved in 2 years ago, it really needed it. Tickman and Dyslexic Viking 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
