red5 Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 Exhaust blow aside, along with some slightly soggy bushes / dampers it's drives ok (as described). Showed 33mpg on drive home with roof up. Nuclear heater and comfy worn old leather seats. Going to drive everywhere with roof down till I can't. Obviously.

gadgetgricey Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 If you can find one, the wind deflectors make a huge difference on these. Love the workshop pic, just trying to identify all the cars red5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Jetter Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 That looks like a serious workshop. Where do the cars all come from or does it work as a business too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Jetter Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Very impressive. My local college shop only had 1 ramp and space for 2 other cars. Then they closed it years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see that still in the fold and getting some love. Served me very well. Hope you get the roof working properly. As you say the heater’s rather good so you can go topless.

It's manual operation, mostly, The roof is a bit bent at back and there's a couple of little gaps - but it's locked in place. I will sort a more convenient arrangement for operation (for the rear scuttle lock) or posiibly ignore it completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Speed Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Does it still have my electric bodge to lock the back of the roof down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red5 Posted March 7, 2022 Author Share Posted March 7, 2022 Yep. Good spot . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sterling Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Nice. I like the Fluence. I wouldn't mind one, is it an Irish import? They weren't sold here, bloody loads in Turkey though. I'll have a go at car identification. From left to right... LR Freelander Citroen C5 (the one I brought back?) Peugeot 206 convertible LR Discovery (Previous off-roader one?) Vauxhall Meriva Peugeot 206 SW (Blue) Nissan Note (partially hidden by Disco) Honda Insight? (Silver car partially hidden by Renault) Renault Fluence Porsche Boxster Fiat Punto Vauxhall Astra Mercedes E-class or CLK Coupe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
