Cord Fourteener Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Couple of weeks ago the Mondeo oil was new and at max. Oil volume has more than doubled in two weeks. Going to have to change most of the oil again and clean MAF and then download ForScan to slap the DPF round a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's why I told Wifey not to use it until I've drained it. Looks like thin oil is being forced out of the oil filter housing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only appears now and then but if I see it again I can get some details? No idea what he wants for it though. Looking for a project type gtv, prices are going up so hope to get one before they go the way of the X1/9... Ghosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adw1977 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Looks like Stellantis have decided that the Vauxhall Heritage Collection is surplus to their requirements. 50 vehicles going to the British Motor Museum in Gaydon, I'm not sure how big the whole collection is, they did sell some off individually not long ago.

This was a question asked in eBay cars, but I didn't want to answer it there. Yes a Citroen BX Mk1 Digit when fitted with Tachometer. This is the one I knew, but I am thinking there will be others? @Crackers Edit It seems if you fancy a strip Tachometer some Renault 11, 19 and 21s with digital dash had them.

High Jetter Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 The strip 'dials' seemed SO modern back then. Analogue is now imitated by digital. Is that progress or regression? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that progress or regression? Back when it was just an old banger I used to own a 1968 Rover 2000TC, I never really liked its ribbon speedo and for added oddness the conventional round Tachometer looked out of place. I guess because the lowly Austin 1100 had a strip speedo my Rover should have nice round dials as came with the facelift, but as a student I couldn't afford the later car.

beko1987 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I played 'commuting from the office to peterborough' this morning and the answer is nope! Poor xsara got awoken from her slumber to be thrown 90 miles, then a day of rest and thrown 90 miles back! The car would be alright, I couldn't do that every day though!
