320touring Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 The Golf came ready decorated for Halloween The front brakes were replaced prior to it going off the Road - some surface rust but hopefully will clean up ok.. Traditional rusty sump is in place - surface only, no leaks. Skizzer, dome, Jim Bell and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
320touring Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 Plans are afoot for repatriation of this to the land of Volvos. Expect an update in mid march, should events not conspire against us!

320touring Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 We are southbound to get this thing MOT'D . Things are going well* so far. AS Hot Chocolate would say "It started with an FTP" I had to jump through Merc with the Clio. I suspect the battery is on its last legs. Down to Tebay, no bother. Then it threw a low coolant light as we pulled in to park. We scranned then found something for free at Tebay : Water You can see the 3 part cap that shouldn't be 3 parts here I shall look for one on eBay presently. Next scheduled stop is Chester way..

320touring Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 We stopped at the ls layby on the A465 to luzz in 5 L of veg, given the gauge is vague at best, and I didn't want to run out on the M4. As it was, it was literally one junction of motorway before coming off and following the coast. Swansea has been Achieved. Off in search of food and beer.

Skizzer Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 We had a busy day. We have worked through a lot of the pre-MOT list and now have working washers and wipers, all the front lights and most of the rear lights. There’s also a new steering wheel (used, but in better condition) and RH column stalk. Couple more electrical gremlins to chase down and I’m on a mission first thing for brake parts as one of the rear cylinders has been leaking. Then it’s MOT time.
