bramz7 Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 The Alfa saga continues, I have now lost the ONLY key. It was in my coat pocket all day Wednesday and I kept thinking to myself that I best put in the other halfs bag, in case I lose it. Long story short, I didn't and I lost it! Obvs I will now have to get an automotive locksmith out to get it replaced. No such thing as a proper free car eh? Real low car mojo at the moment, all things considered.

bramz7 Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 @holbeck Your wish is my command. Fairly late 110 Exclusive. It's been welded in the one place it needed it since I had it, and the small LHM leak also cured. It's a bit dirty though, but I'll eventually clean the outside. Wiping the front seats and dashboard today helped no end. I can't stand dirty dashboards. I also gave it a work out yesterday which seems to have improved the normal ride height and driving feel. Steering still feels a bit off at low speed but nothing terrible. I increased the tyre pressures to factory as the steering was beyond heavy! Will I keep it? Probably not. But it's nice to drive about in. It would be perfect with cruise as the throttle pedal is not ideally positioned for hours of driving. There's also a duff engine mount and on the high side clutch, but the latter is nothing worrying. Funnily enough I found a train ticket inside dated April 2019, which my ever tidy other half left in there the first time I owned it. loserone, Mr Laurence, Amishtat and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holbeck Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Nice! I'd forgotten that one. I nearly offered you the silver one I got from Wingz, but didn't think you did revisits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 I don't tend to, and probably shouldn't have here! Likewise if anyone fancies it for themselves, let me know. I don't get attached to cars anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve79 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 FIL is interested. You can then use the money to buy that Saab 9-5 you always never promised yourself ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarinaJosh Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I can vouch for that Xantia. I owned it for a year and covered about 15,000 trouble free miles in it. It was a really lovely car. I only sold it as I got a new job closer to home so I was no longer doing the miles to justify running a big diesel as a daily. I still miss it and I am so tempted to buy it back but as my circumstances haven't changed I know I would simply have no use for it. In my ownership it had new spheres all round along with new front discs/pads and strut return pipes. 500tops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 What's that about never owning a car for the second time? Yeah yeah all part of Citroen ownership isn't it? Pretty steady dripping, I'm assuming a poor repair on the old leak has given up. loserone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
