... finally getting your car back! :D

Since my engine failure I've been running around in a hired Vauxhall Insignia. Petrol. Manual. Not much power. And not much fun!

But now.... 2 weeks, 2 days and 9 hours after my engine failure... I am finally reunited with my baby! The replacement engine is running beautifully, and at the correct temperature (87-88c) for the first time in over a year - I had the garage fit a brand new OEM thermostat, as it's a quick job with the engine out of the car. They also changed the auto gearbox fluid and it definitely changes gear much more smoothly now. New filters and fluids all round in fact... and even the air conditioning was re-gassed. I'm sure you can imagine that I'm grinning like a Cheshire Cat, so happy to be back in my MG. :D

A big thumbs up for Apple MG... as they had to fit my car in around the pre-booked work they had. I can't praise them highly enough - friendly, helpful service. The bill even came in below the estimate! :bowdown: :cool:

Good to hear she's back and in peak form!

That's good news Steve, and I'll bet your just looking for any little excuse to take her out for a spin aren't you :D

Sometimes it's easy to forget how good these cars make you feel, until they are gone.

Here's to many more miles of pleasurable :driving:

That's great fella, lots of good news on here today, car back, new cars etc :D.

Cheers
Tony

Wow, that's high praise indeed! Thank you! :D

Thanks to everyone for your support. It's very much appreciated! I'm very happy to have saved my car from being broken up, and although it's cost me a few quid it's worth every penny, just for the smile on my face and the good feeling I get from driving her. :D
