DoctorRetro Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 I probably can't afford 3 tickets, but really need a reliable car. Make mine a threesome too...
bangernomics Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 1 randy please. Make sure it’s a loser though as I’ve absolutely no need for this.
Ohdearme Posted April 19, 2019 Author Posted April 19, 2019 Bank holiday availed me of time to do some works. Rear brakes fitted and private* test track utilised to check operation and wear of the brakes. Ford original bolt! So that’s what £17 looks like. Brakes operating appropriately. It’s wired for heater windscreen jets...easy upgrade, etc. I also fixed the drivers door switch so the interior light now operates with drivers door, enabling full illumination of the majestic interior. It’s a Robbing Peter to pay Paul fix as I may* have just swapped the switch from one of the rear doors. I also considered fitting the alternate front grille for the lucky* winner. For the sake of selling tickets, I reverted and actually managed to get it to fit back properly so you could probably run around and never bother fixing this. Lacquer peel has been improved at the front by judicious wiping with a dirty glove to crackle off the worst of it. And here’s the worst bit of rust on the car, otherwise its damn near spotless, somebody spent a long dirty weekend or two under sealing it all. I may fix the blowing exhaust with exhaust wob now it’s light and I can see what I’m doing, but I think wifey has chucked the tub out. TLDR, buy tickets. RobT, rantingYoof, The Moog and 1 other 4
Ohdearme Posted April 19, 2019 Author Posted April 19, 2019 Forgot to add the rust shot, barely worth bothering tbh. Engine shot also reminded me it got a new set of leads with the service as one was a bit on the wonk, car hasn’t misfired since replacement Also, note the superior* engineering of the airbox to maf interface. Brand new battery on it too, only about a bloody month old. Cavcraft 1
purplebargeken Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 This is an ace car and I miss it terribly.
Ohdearme Posted April 20, 2019 Author Posted April 20, 2019 Video seduction, auto open/close in action. https://youtu.be/kJ7puH4H4Uc Mmm, buy tickets!
rantingYoof Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 To be honest, the Clint Eastwoodesque key-flinging at the beginning made me swoon and I missed the rest of the video. Ohdearme 1
purplebargeken Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 Get you with your swish remote window opening thing....
bezzabsa Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 had a dizel version in that there colour...had crappy non swinging seats, so fitted a full set a-la scrapper..£35 and my seats left in their place Ohdearme 1
Ohdearme Posted April 22, 2019 Author Posted April 22, 2019 This really does need to go so I can replace the third car with something smaller and less like the Sharan. £400 cold hard cash would take it away. This is basically free* motoring until the MOT in October. *Aprt from Pez, tax, insurance, obvs. Maurice Marina 1
Maurice Marina Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 Oh go on...upgrade* me to three randoms. Ohdearme 1
binhoker668 Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 Bump! I need to keep paying for other people’s cars!!
Ohdearme Posted April 23, 2019 Author Posted April 23, 2019 Right, another bump for this. Using the Sharan (the same thing) reminded me how capacious these buggers are. That one just got us and two kids with luggage away and back for a weekend and with the rear seats out still had room for us to pick up a desk we won on eBay and bring that home too. So, erm, bump. binhoker668 1
bezzabsa Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 whats the thirst like on the petrols as a neighbour has just upgraded to the newer shape and his old un is a cracker
Ohdearme Posted April 23, 2019 Author Posted April 23, 2019 whats the thirst like on the petrols as a neighbour has just upgraded to the newer shape and his old un is a crackerThe 2.0 Petrol isn’t bad. Amazingly, the V6 petrol (although it’s first 800 miles have mainly been motorway) isn’t raping my wallet with quite the voracity I was expecting, but then it does need stuff doing to it so is going to bite me that way.
