Now she's driving nicely use is the best thing for her. Just really wish getting in/out of the garage wasn't such a bloody production as there are two cars parked in front of it - which on some days there's nowhere less than a five minute walk away I can move them to, even temporarily. I can forsee a day where we just pave over the whole front lawn to be honest...not as though a 12'(ish) square of threadbare grass is otherwise doing much useful. All the grass dug up and placed in upside down in one other 3 corners to make small mounds. Breathable fabric placed onto mud. Wooden edging placed around the edge. 3 x1 ton bags of stones. I did ours in 2006. Plants now cover the mounds. Total cost ? 2 days hard graft and £150. Stevebrookman and Burnside 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more impressive as the ambient temperature sensor will still be attached to the donor Clio wing mirror, the Kangoo doesn't have one! Must be nice wherever it is.

SRi05 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Yesterday was a year to the day since bringing the Saab up the road. It's been my wife's daily since July, as such it hasn't seen a wash or a bit of maintenance in that time. Oil and all filters changed this morning, along with a coolant temp sensor that's been throwing an EML on and off. Finished off with a good scrub up. Hands down my favourite car bought from here. clayts450, NorthernMonkey, Cord Fourteener and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefoot Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Rover passed its MOT without advisories, this is pretty much unknown in my life. Chap could find no coolant leak, only a very gentle weep under pressure from the corner of the radiator. He tells me to continue to keep an eye on it. The original pollen filter was lifted out of 2 inches of water and the plenum drains were... drained. Life is good.

SiC Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 One thing I can't stand on cars is them smelling. Especially from Cigarette smoke, being a non smoker. The Clio is smelling fusty from a few years of continuously being damp inside. So when a OZone fogger popped up as a black Friday deal I grabbed one. The idea is that OZone is an unstable molecule and wants to shed one of its oxygen atoms. So anything it hits, it breaks down the chemical bond and thus making it less smelly. Or something along those lines. Inside is surprisingly well made considering it's a random brand from China. Turning it on makes dangerous sounds and smells that you might expect from such a thing coming from China. Certainly not something you want to be near for any length of time. Going to give it a run in the Clio in a bit and see what effect it has. Probably end up burning the car to the ground. 😆 HarmonicCheeseburger, Tickman, Lord Sterling and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Changed the transmission fluid on the Granvia today. This is what came out: I think it's fair to say it was overdue a change. I got exactly 4 litres out, which was handy as that was the quantity of Dexron III I'd bought. Annoyingly it hasn't made any difference to the gearbox shifting, so I'm going to have to do some further investigation on that. Next step is to get the clocks out and see if I can bypass the MPH conversion chip, as apparently that can cause issues. If that doesn't solve it then I'm not sure where to go from there TBH - I can try and read the fault codes off the gearbox but if that doesn't show me what's wrong then I'm stumped.

Mike D Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Got a couple of days mini fettling in, extremely excessive sound deadening is in, theres a layer of closed cell foam to go over the pads still, and carpeted and fitted the rear speaker shelf. Epic fail fitting the rear window, i was hopeful the old seal would go again but it split in the corner. Interior is relaxing next to a few radiators as per vulgalors suggestion 👍 Should make it a bit nicer place to be, anything to improve a tin can on wheels has to help 🤣 DVee8, vulgalour, LightBulbFun and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobT Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Three weeks ago the Xantia sprung a hydraulic leak. I felt a bit glum as I thought it was curtains. But £40 later I bought some compression joints and pipe. WAFT MODE REINSTATED. Access was a faff even though it doesn't look so in that pic (and fingers crossed the joints remain dry) but by gum I've missed the ride. Together with the new accumulator it seems better than ever too, so I'm feeling like a right smug bastard this evening. Just to temper such feelings, part of the rusty front wing finally fell off. I had a dig and the sill and body seems to have escaped relatively unscathed, but will have a proper look another time. catsinthewelder, Angrydicky, mercedade and 24 others 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work in a factory that had a few "treaters" (think 8'x3'x3' size) to prepare paper prior to plastic coating. Large machine, about 120 feet from end to end, lots of rollors plus two treaters amongst all the other stuff.........Ozone was a byproduct of these treaters and the process of precoating treatment. The extraction pipework (to the outside of the building) had to be removed every year, cleaned and inspected. The ozone rotted all steel it contacted, and had a peculiar smell. Everybody knew if the extraction was getting clogged (with paper dust) because it stunk of ozone around the treaters, plus everybody was getting a headache.
