MissT Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 It was nothing major and quite a lot was unnecessary- A cool steering wheel. 5 renovated wheels. 2 tyres. Exhaust. A big service and MOT. Brake pads. A new wing. Window mechanism. Various things I've forgotten. A new stereo. New carpet mats. A new door seal for £242 was rather shocking! It's been faultless since then including a huge tour up and down France fully rammed and with a roof box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt B Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 A mate found the location of a waterfall off Snake Pass the other week. We were lucky to get some epic shots before the farmer locked the gate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVDM Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 The current work horse is a staggering 1.6 HDi, but hey, it has room for 3 children in child seats and a tow bar for the trailer tent. A quick tribute to some that I've loved and lost over the years (some are still on the road). 5th Gen Celica for fun and Accord Tourer for family (last years set of cars) 4 litre XJ6 for fun and rust (bought the Celica less than a week after scrapping it) Rover 800, I would get another in an instance if I had the chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Had the car for 2 months nearly and still seems to be the only one in St Helens!! Found myself with a cleaned car 2 hours earlier than normal - dropped family at church - so 'clayed' it and tried out the AutoGlym HD Wax - quite easy to use and looks great, particularly with the rarely seen sunshine we had at midday.

I'm sure it's about 20% bigger than the bonnet of the 2.2 diesel 8G I had. '10G' as we call it. Still waiting to see the 'R' in BTCC trim for 2018.

Problem is you can’t clean without waxing it, not so great when you have kids and limited time! I find myself using the daily always (also black and the rain does the cleaning!) and not using the nice car just so I don’t need to clean it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoodoo Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Yes, same here. We have all the AutoGlym range in work so I do mine twice a week after work. Waxed to the hilt although I done it at home the other day. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoodoo Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Thats a Ford Falcon with the G6e engine. A firm called Colman Milne get hold of them and strip and rebuild them.They ride on adjustable airbags and go like rockets.Well you would expect it for 120K.

TheVDM Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I fancied a bit of a change from the 1.6 diesel so sold it last week and bought another Jag, this time a 3 litre V6, makes a big change from the diesel power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
