What to fix before I flog?
Wed, 2 Sep 2009 12:10:33 +0100
It is now time for my 406 to go. I need the cash, and my Golf is pretty
MOTable.
The 406 has racked up about 115k now, and has full garage history up until
me buying it. I've serviced it as per Peugeot's recommendations since. And
it's had a new flywheel and clutch at great expense, along with new
suspension ...

Yes indeedy, my goof now has a lay flat rear wiper!
Considering there are about 1001 other things that needed doing first...
1. sort out wheel judder at slow speed on left lock
2. sort out stainless exhaust banging on floor pan
3. sort out badly worn door hinges (doors 'dropped')
4...etc

I have sourced a backbox for ¡êcheap for my MX-5.
Don't get excited, its not a mod as such, its the standard backbox off a
similar car which has done about 10k. Mine has done quite a lot more
than that and makes funny rattling sounds at idle and at 3500rpm.
Anyway. Has anyone got any tips or covenants? The ...

As well a project car/van/hearse, I'm going to need to get the bar built
pretty sharpish.
I feel the urge to get into home brewing, a batch or two of Turbo cider
to drink quick, then some mead on the go for long term consumption, and
a couple of different ale kits for variety.
I miss homebrewing.

So what's the deal with E39 BMWs then?
Sun, 30 Aug 2009 20:35:30 +0100
I've been keeping an eye out for a 5-series and noticed that the
earlier (pre-facelift) ones seem to be stupidly cheap compared to a
couple of years ago. They also don't seem to be getting the "local drug
lord" treatment quite as often as SteveH suspected.
Is there anything that I'm missing here or are the bigge ...

Well, the Elise isn't quite that pristine anymore

No, I didn't lob it.
Tried to fit the soft top, which is one of those "it seems to be a good
idea after 10 pints" types. The left 'bar' between the windscreen
surround and the rollbar seemed to sit a little wobbly but in the right
place.
That is, until I put the two roof tensioners in that run between the
