Jim Bell 37,718 Report post Posted January 26 This has been the most educational course I've been on for ages but I've no idea why CBT is rude? Does it refer to the Cunts Bums n Tums fitness class at our local community centre?Definitely don't put CBT in Wikipedia and click on the result that says Cock & Ball Torture. Just don't. 3 cms206, snagglepuss and aldo135 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skizzer 21,934 Report post Posted January 26 We had the LOLlest collection thread in a while and pictures of a misery spec 309 - from where I’m sitting the only* thing we’ve missed out on is a petrol station shot. You can feel unfulfilled**if you like, but I don’t see you have owt to apologise for. *Oh, and a poo count, but that’s ok. ** This implies that a diesel 309 Zest was likely to leave you feeling fulfilled in the first place. That’s a bit of a leap, really. 6 Dave_Q, chodweaver, RobT and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Talbot 3,185 Report post Posted January 26 He's firm at what I offered (which was cheap) Willing to divulge how much that was? The shaft seal on non-turbo injekshun pumps are easy to change with the pump in situ, and the O-rings are a standard component, so are pence from a bearing supplier. 309s are just about the cheapest motoring possible. 309 1.9D is a bit of an oddball as the 309 continued using the XUD9 square-port engine well into the 90s, whereas every other PSA product had moved on to the XUD9A Oval-Port engine by the latter part of the 80s.

richardmorris 10,242 Report post Posted January 26 Did she work at the Bassetts factory?No, but she was very grounded. Down to earth as they say. The only thing I think shocked her was Jim Bowen at the afternoon bingo one day. She walked out, but not before complaining to the management.

rainagain 1,768 Report post Posted January 26 I changed the throttle o-rings on a Lucas pumped diesel clio. It was dead easy it went something like this 1. Disconnect throttle linkage 2. Remove small bolts holding top cover on3. Lift the top cover up gently and disconnect linkage going to spindle4. Remove spindle5. Replace o-rings on spindle6. Put back together I had pics but I think photobucket has eaten them 1 purplebargeken reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shirley Knott 1,668 Report post Posted January 26 If this is what the future of chod purchasing looks like then count me in. I seems to me that you've enjoyed all of the fun of the chase/planning elements and yet actually got to know what was really wrong with the car before you'd paid for it it and driven it home thus cutting out the misery/remorse element of the whole process. I can't decide whether it's witchcraft or cheating... I'm impressed and have taken notes. 6 chodweaver, Jim Bell, purplebargeken and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rainagain 1,768 Report post Posted January 26 I found one pic with the lid off, my memory must be going it looks like you don’t even need to disconnect the throttle spindle just remove the cover.

taxi paul 2,553 Report post Posted January 27 Top thread. Informative and humerous. Would read again. I am still on my one car limit although the T5 volvo is really really stirring my loins. Stankys celica was mine and is a very fine car. Also have had a prelude, from our very own Bob the beard. My lad had a gold volvo which he sold local and has regretted ever since.
