Tomorrow I shall be arranging the uplift of three cars by the scrapman.

I cannot bear the thought of another single day of waste of my life.

I'd rather take the bus

Put rubber on all 4 corners of the Bear. Recommended to a family run tyre shop in Saltash. Bonus is they open at 7am and they make you a nice cup of tea whilst you wait.
And filled her up with go go juice.

75 needs a service and two droplinks, was going to sort this weekend until my father in laws 2005 classic spec 1800 overheated. Leaking from the rear plastic housing that goes into the back of the water pump. All stripped out and awaiting parts, the end had broken off in the pump. Doing nothing else with cars this weekend now other than cleaning the ‘Tomcat’ and removing the glass roof

Just got back from a 300 mile round trip after a day at Five Sisters Zoo in West Calder,car never missed a beat, I'm always nervous driving it, especially as I still haven't fixed the coolant pipe properly, I'm just asking for trouble

just along the Road from me (Livingston) - more importantly - just along the Road from CossieDunc

Could have had that Coolant Pipe fixed "Properly"

for future reference - Any folks passing/visiting in/around/near Livingston are welcome to give me a shout if they fancy a stop off for a Coffee, bit of 75/ZT Banter

.............unless I'm out enjoying a wee Drive myself

It's easy enough to fix but I'm just too lazy to drain the coolant, a previous owner removed the oil cooler and put a bit of kitchen pipe in it's place...

Finally got the 190 to behave after a devastating bout of incontinence, then to be blessed with a chronic fuelling problem which turned out to be the map sensor found by my Virtual T-4. Now drives the best since owning it with no coolant loss, no hesitations or flat-spots during accelerations. I am far from convinced that the KV6 is the right engine for me, but have the trusty diesel on the fleet for reliability.

After 3 weekends of frustration and confusion finally completed the retrofit of a HK system to my ZTT. Really like the sound much better than I expected after comments on the forum
