Split_Pin Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Good start on the 240 Trigger, as you say it definitely looks like it's going somewhere. The interior looks brand new for a start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrydicky Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Why Trig? Because they’re worth a fortune, and if you can get repair it inexpensively, there’s a whopping great profit in it. I have no idea why they’re so valuable, they don’t do anything for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigeT Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 CLK made 40mpg on the 430 mile drive down from Scotland yesterday (including some shitty traffic on M6 & M25), still 3 gallons in tank. 23 year old V6 160k barge FTW. wuvvum, Popsicle, DVee8 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fumbler Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Managed to find a nice wallet-friendly replacement speedo from the owners club... ...so hopefully I'll no longer be going 3000000MPH even when stationary.

I thought they had a value but the prices seem to be all over the place, I saw one sell for £5500 with 160k on it yet another struggle to make £1250? I've got a few banger racers with panels willing to help, it's just working a deal at the moment juular, BL Bloke and Angrydicky 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigeT Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Small wins for the morning. New pads for Mum's Twingo & wired in a recently-arrived-from-China £4 temperature sensor into E39 which now records 19 degrees on dash instead of minus 40.

Split_Pin Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 I'm bored with upsetting Rover 75 owners now so it seems my new hobby is upsetting mental Saabists.

Split_Pin Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Oil change again for the red Saab 93 last night, I can't believe I've had it 6 months now. Its a great car and insanely quick with the remap and the auto gearbox. The oil change itself was straightforward, but I forgot that the engine takes 6 litres so the basin was very full. I turned it into a right skiddle. I need to invest in one of those big waste oil pans with a spout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got any more shots of the Hunter/Rapier in the back there?

Split_Pin Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 I've been using the Pela but the lance is stopped by some kind of baffle on the 9-3 sumps so won't work. It's fine on the Cavalier but the oil filter is right behind the drivers side wheel so the car needs to go up in the air anyway. The actual oil change on the Saab was really easy but I slopped the oil all over the drive 🤣 cort16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkably easy! Just needs a little canbus adapter that I can send the link for. No wiring necessary, just plugs And they sell a version with green buttons for Skodas too!
