Aston Martin Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 I went to York on fumes, I turned the engine off and there was a sliver. 3 hours later, I started the engine up... The dial was beyond empty, no idea where the sliver went. It's a 30 litre tank, I'm never sure if this includes the filler neck. Which must hold 3? Litres. Anyway, 28.87 litres were added.

I reckon he’s had it a year now for £795. I’m tempted to see how low he’ll go on it as I need to own one before they all disappear. I cycled over to look at this today as I am still in need of a cheap snotter. Unfortunately i’d say it’s beyond help (unless you really wanted a project). It’s clearly been sat for a long time on the grass, the rear beam/suspension is just one solid rusted lump, the spring seats would probably give way on the first pot hole, I could see it wanting a full brake overhaul, the tyres are absolutely shot and the interior is badly condensated.

Aston Martin Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 In other news I hate the car, it's too bastard slow and I think there's a wheel bearing on the way out. You can only hear it above 35 and with the radio off. Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Martin Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 I like to be controversial... I've only used it to go to work 5 yards away and so the Um Bongo sized fuel tank is empty again. I went to Tesco and Momentum 99 was only 2p more a litre ?, 28 litres lobbed in. It'll either... be the same, be worsererer or be betterrerer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston Martin Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 Posted this in the Alessi thread, but I did 125 miles on a motorway with a brimmed tank and I used half a tank. Hopefully I make it home with the remaining and I'll check the mpg when I refill at home. Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston Martin Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Fuck me. I had no washers, I filled it up. No washers. Where's the pump? Ah, behind the wheel liner that fell off. ? Everything was plugged in, but the connectors were manky. Quick sandpapering and washers!!! mrbenn and Jim Bell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston Martin Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 After 6 months, the scrapyard finally got a Panpan in. I still need a drivers wheel arch and importantly the clips. Interestingly it has a towbar, the chances of it still being on the car tomorrow when the Polsks strip a car within 2.5 seconds? The cars been there a week so I doubt it. I'll snaffle it if I can.

Aston Martin Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Bumpety bump. Still haven't sorted the seats.... Or anything really. It's a commuter hack. ......... Now, I have a set of Cross rear lights, but the trim on one is shattered. Because parts are impossible for this, a trim is yes.... £179. 😒 I was perusing ebay and a guy is selling both trims from a Monster for £60.18. 😟👍 Now, the Monster trims are black and the Cross trims are grey... I'm thinking get them sprayed bodycolour anyway, so it's irrelevant. The issue I have is the light plug is completely different from standard Panda to Cross.

Aston Martin Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 Just got walloped with a £565 MOT bill for new rear calipers.... Only needs one, but that's neither here nor there. I have done about 2,000 miles since owning it and it's a good little van, with a banging stereo and yet. It's not for sale, but maybe its for sale, cos I don't use the bastard.

No point taking it back. The car just needs a run out, it's been stood since about October I think. The sub, I need to get the multimeter out. I suspect it's the 12v wire.
