General What have you done for her/him recently?
Probably, yes. The horrors of drivng half the length of the country in the snow, freezing cold and having to wipe the windows every two miles are etched onto my memory though...
Scrubbed plastics with upholstery cleaner! Also checked underneath for anything out of the ordinary and all good. Will give her a full service, new battery and brake fluid change before winter comes
I've just booked a very expensive trans Atlantic crossing for your old car lol
I am having to use my old Marbella for a week after the 205 failed the MOT on a measly handbrake issue- I don't have time to fix for now so a week with the Marbella will be fun! It's such a fun little car, extremely more manouvarable than the peugeot 205!! Extremely easy little car. I want a panda again
swapped my standard carb back on today so I can retrieve my big jets out of the one that's in to put in the cleaned up carb I'm refurbing. See how it runs with some standard 999 jets in now..
what you mean that old £60 banger that I tarted up and sold you
Booked 1000S for MOT at midday... everythings appears ok so fingers crossed...
doh... its' a red 'un this time...
1&2 headlamp aim
3 rear foot brake little or no effort

Not bad at all......should sort that quick and that's another one on the road for a year...
Doh, thought I'd sorted it... one piston really well stuck, got it free on Sat after test - booked back in today... only reached 31 on RRd's digital display (other side was 42) - might have got air in as I worked it free maybe? ...could be leaking now even
He said not good enough - so now ordered a wheel cylinder. Should get it tomorrow - lets hope the union will undo without twisting the pipe... This is where you wish you'd got those nice little 'injector' ring spanners...
though there's an advisary on that brakepipe anyway
I've sprayed it ready - I'd try giving it a gentle tweak but it was pissing it down a bit back.
... no... still raining - not good for working on drive, at my age at least
she's a willing little beast - handles well and much nippier than the 4x4!
Pandas - I just love 'em! :slayer:

finally got round to using my carb rebuild kit on my shiny clean spare carb. now safely installed with a handful of new gaskets and seals and oh my word that's made a difference. Idle's suddenly smoother than it's been in years
my 4x4 has his mot booked for thursday at 4.15

put new underseal on sills as they was covered in overspray from fixing bottoms of doors. then cleaned windows and forgot to mind the wet underseal :bang: jeans ruined now
didn't make it to the mot, got down the road then remembered i hadn't put the can of petrol in i had bought, so i went back home to get it and when i go into reverse to back into drive the clutch cable snapped, i thought i had renewed it, but now i remember it was the 750 i put the new one on :bang:
Damn! At least you saved the MOT fee as it might have happened to them. Cable snapping on ramps could be bad if you weren't expecting!
they don't do the driving on an of the ramp as i am qualified to do it, they only drive it into the brake tester and out again, i would have been ok if it went there as mrs dave goes past on her way home from work, i could have left him there an got a lift oh well gives me a few more play days until new cable comes to do more shining of things
