I'll bear that in mind next time I'm in Rochdale, thanks.

 

 

 

 

Which is never.

Inaugural gaffer tape application to replace that piece of window trim.

Very professional! And already looking better than it did under my care. And I have to admit that I never knew this car had an alarm, still less that it wouldn’t work in Rochdale. 
 

Just over 24 hours after ceasing to be a Volvo owner I find myself looking at this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126264153807?hash=item1d65ee16cf:g:yWUAAOSwSX9llH77&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4KlrAd3LDpYROnZdqT5bbWUuuNjISWKFJvo01fj7os8%2FGgEMpeFpGpNAIl5FknHblb5XO8s2N3gRPXttzUCYPJztWCKBihrN8hJqTJlrRBDVxxgAwWD7tzKfnhJc1bl99UrHsR9S4SG8q%2FVSNgYDwGYGac8YxxP2heUycCbUkXSE4oYraqn7FXX5L9uccagmMUurBynyCQWxxSKBniaNBsu5cif16dfyv9bT7bacV3lhAs%2FNc6sd44zQROkQfqjj84SPsaq9YxIXH3MsfXACSzJ%2Bb0oXfGyA%2FCRdVmmdGeiZ|tkp%3ABk9SR6Dh7pGcYw

 

The pinstripe blue velour in Hillmanimp’s new 740 set me off. Irresistible.

That Halfrauds looks boarded up! Nice brick.

Thanks!  I'm hoping the alarm doesn't work at all now, I just find them annoying.  I've put a Stoplock on it anyway, in case anyone gets ideas.

That 240 looks pleasant.  GIB!

A pair of rear tyres for this last week. 

GT radials were a conscious decision because I like the bulgy sidewalls and tread pattern (which is similar to the HFM Goodyear EfficientGrips), and they seem to be doing alright on the Xedos.

The next idea was to do an oil change, so assume the position...

But the sump plug is 25mm and I've only got a 24mm socket so that'll have to wait.  I was going to Pela it but I forgot I need a new tube for that, although I might just bin it and get one of those 12v extractors for future jobs.  The plan is to do one change, run it for a bit, then do another and the filter as it looks like it'd benefit from two lots.

Anyway, the upshot was all I achieved for now was changing the spark plugs and the air filter.  Exciting update eh.  But it was still cold and I was knackered so it'll have to do!
