Very nice garage !
Had some fun today and made a compilation. The engine had originally stuck piston rings (first two clips), managed to free them a little bit afterwards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xm_ua841GxA And a little video with my city driving fuel saving habits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U5JUguH4d0

'Twas nifty to see an Esso station and a phone booth in the "Economical Driving" video. Bagels too!

We are pretty fond on bagels here indeed. As for the phone booth... I should take a picture before it's gone, these are not there to last https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC1DZsuyleI (sorry for the OT)

Ordered four off Michelin Pilot Sport 4s (new tread pattern apparently) for £109.50 each. I’ll fit them myself saving 65 notes or so.
(I can’t keep warbling on about how good the French tyres are and then not take my own advice I suppose) Then I need to remove the upper trim off the tailgate to prove the non-working high level brake light isn’t connected and then it’s MOT time on Wednesday. I HATE MOT time of the year.... |

Bought my 4th Volvo. A big guzzler P2 2.4 Petrol SE V70. Picking it up within the hour and looking forward to wafting home like I'm sitting on my lounge sofa..

Changed 4 tyres, valves and balanced them, changed the transmission oil whilst I was at it; there's no way you can get in there without a fairly long tube and usefully, Volvo supply the oil in a very stiff and rigid rectangular bottle which can't get near the filler hole.
Let's see if selecting first when there's ice on the screen is any easier tomorrow. |

Alas, sold my V70 P2 after 6 years of ownership and has gone to a good home. Replaced by a V70 2014 SE Nav D2 Powershift. Been driving petrol/manual for 35 years and this is a step into diesel/auto territory. So far, so good. But it is farewell to this forum and thank-you one and all for the past 6 years.
