Split_Pin Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Turns out the dampers the chap was selling dont fit mine, I assumed he would already have known that! Anyway back on the hunt for them, obviously there are 6 different kinds and the ones I need are the hardest to find. Ho hum! I also got another knockback yesterday for the 6th job I had applied for internally. However I also signed my new contract yesterday so I can now formally hand in my notice. I always hoped that I'd have the last laugh. I'm looking forward to having a conversation with my manager today about all that. somewhatfoolish, dome, puddlethumper and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davehedgehog31 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Been quiet on here of late as eternally busy with other shit but also because the fleet has been little cause for concern.

Basically the elderly owner bought it in 1990 and parked it in the garage back in 2009, died and they haven't touched it since, it was covered in dust and leaves and it looks like mice may have took up residence but they were keen for it not to be scrapped or raced which in fairness would be criminal so we agreed on a price and now it's mine! I think it has the potential to be a really nice car once I've worked my magic. ooo Birminghamshire reggo- Bristol Street Motors or Meteor Ford? paulplom, Lord Sterling, Fat_Pirate and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its been said before but; 20p stuck in the handbrake? ? I'll explain what this means for any confused shiters; Some years back, there was a legend of an eBay advert that featured a White Peugeot 405 saloon (identical to the above) where the increasingly frustrated and desperate owner was getting frustrated at the amount of eBay 'watchers' but no bidders, the advert was relisted and the sellers frustration showed more and more each time it was relisted. A load of shiters here began 'watching' the advert too! One line in the advert always stated that there 20p stuck in the handbrake which has obviously passed into Autoshite legend. I vaguely remember the desperation of selling the car as it was stuck in his grandmothers' garage/driveway or something.... flat4alfa, BL Bloke, SiC and 6 others 5 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dome Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Starlet gone, Exploder going. New daily required then. I'm in Northumberland just now on holiday, which was decided on last minute by me and the good lady. I remembered I had a potential victim in this area in my watch list so headed along this morning for a look. Usual thing for me, it's broken but I like them and it'll make a decent daily.

dollywobbler Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Went to look at a Xsara Picasso in highly desirable 1.6 form today. Drove ok, oil pissing out of the cam cover but offside rear brake didn't appear to do anything, the front washer actually operated the rear (as did the rear...) and then the owner didn't actually have the V5 and there was nothing to suggest it had ever actually been registered to them.

No gases coming out of the exhaust so it's blocked and venting through the pcv system, most likely by a failed turbo. Here it is in all its glory* A MK2 Octavia Scout so it's a 140pd engine.

Fraz of this parish and I had spotted this whilst sitting hungover on Sunday morning. Before my girlfriend and I had decided where we were going. When she suggested a place 20 minutes away I asked her very nicely if we could make a detour this morning on the way to Beamish... I'd looked at another one in Glenrothes but it was the worst MK2 Octy I'd ever seen.

SiC Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 VAG admittedly only requires a stalk, 5 mins on VCDS and sometimes a wire fitting to have cruise. Took about an hour on our TT MK2 including fitting the wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice part of the country and not far from Scotland. We're in an air BnB near Derwent Manor hotel. Very pleasant. Did Beamish today and will find somewhere to take the dog a walk tomorrow, maybe round the reservoir. DVee8 and Shirley Knott 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
