Yea I spotted that in his / her Sig space.... Spammer I reckon.
Cars still brill marty, drives like new, maybe its a placebo effect but with a new cambelt etc on it feels so much more responsive and it felt great before lol!

Had my water pump/belt/coolant done under 3rd year. New cambelt always makes me feel more confident with the car. Mine flew through the MOT in July so will be keeping her for a long time to come. My philosophy is "stick to what you know" (Married 28 years so it works)

Nice one Ffoxy... Where did you take it for the work?
What's happened to your wheels btw? Looks like they've been sprayed with a can of "hard hat"?

Cheeky feck Stroppy Lad... The wheels were powdercoated a few months back and look brilliant in the flesh so to speak, plus they dont show brake dust up! The colour coat was peeling off the original silver $hite finish.Delamere Motors did my cambelt / waterpump / MoT work for me, on Halesfield, Telford, no hesitation whatsoever recommending them, quality outfit at a good price, all my work was done for £288 inc VAT, parts, labour and MoT.

Ditto... 22 years married here, keeping mine (car & wife) for good or bad now...
Car is bought and paid for, warranty expires today so its all mine quite literally...

More than adequate for my current needs mate, still no creaks or rattles, a true bargain IMO for what I paid for it.

Im on 54,788 and pretty much the same story, had a wheel bearing changed and now needs a clutch though Id bet my car has a harder life though, with me being only 21 :devil: I only use my car for pleasure too as I have the fan for work so most of my driving is on a weekend and "entusiastic"
and I agree, I love this car to bits, cant see me ever selling it!

Haha Beany.... leave your car alone and it'll leave you alone (and your wallet) usually.
I had the peeling colour base and lacqeur on my wheels so they needed doing, if I had gone silver again it wouldnt have been easily noticeable, plus the brake dust is invisible now! They were powdercoated Anthracite in B'ham in a day drive in - drive out... very happy with them.
