Wew what a week. 
 

So I managed to buy @Tim_E E46 with no way of getting it to me and also win* @Cavcrafts gangster Merc. Managed to move the camper elgrand on. 
 

someone messaged me to swap the BM and @leanycan offered to drive the swap  up for me.  After much messing around with delightful folk from eBay Cavcraft managed to flog the Merc on for me.

 

Place bets now on what’s about to arrive at Shotley Towers. It’s vegetable related, auto and has the look of a Australian 90s television cross dresser.

  • Robson3022 changed the title to Robson3022 Fleet Fettling. Busy week!

Spent a bit of time in this this morning and it drives so well. Really really pleased with it. Brother in law is going to use it while he is over from Germany for the month then I’ll probably put it up for sale. I might even chuck a door on it to tidy it up a little.

  • Robson3022 changed the title to Robson3022 Fleet Fettling. What’s better than a Saab 9-5????

Well the auto 9-5 is up for sale a little quicker than I anticipated but only because I picked this one up from @paulplomtoday. 
 

Paul claims the flywheel has an intermittent rattle. I’m not so sure I’ve struggled to hear it and it goes really well. If anyone fancy’s this instead of the auto is be open to that but I’d prefer to keep this one for a bit!

  • Robson3022 changed the title to Robson3022 Fleet Fettling. Oops I did it again!

I haz done a buy!

 

No collection thread as it was 6 minutes away. Elgrand count is now back up to a healthy 2. This one is a 3.0d. Drives well MOT until March and the body work is pretty good. It’s lifting inside but nothing a good session with the wet vac won’t fix. 
 

The other one is still getting “fixed” so this one is being pressed into duty hence the Saab being up for sale. More detailed pictures and analysis tomorrow when it’s light.

Some slightly better photos but it was raining so not many!! 
 

Snagging list passenger window switch missing, doors have dropped and it needs a good valet. 
 

someone was interested in one of these from me and I seem to have deleted the message. If you are that person then let me know!!

Have driven this a bit today and it appears I have a sticky calliper. 
 

how much could I fuck up rebuilding them myself? I can just about do a pad change and service? I’d rather not totally bork the job? 

Its not difficult to do if you can get the piston out, compressed air or a grease gun can help if its not moving.
