940 2.3 16V GLE estate - Page 3

Yeah, i still want an egg crate, and clear indicators. Need to get the bump repaired first, which is going to cost about £100 and will need 1 tyre. Once these things are done i will start looking again though.
One other thing, the insurance is showing the new one as a GL SR. I've never heard of a GL SR. Is there any difference between this and a standard GL?

Can't say I've heard of a GL SR either!! what does the V5 say?? as for the bump have you tried this trick which I believe has been discussed on this forum at some time or other. All you need is a can of compressed air which is readily available from say a computer shop ( used for cleaning the keyboard ) or I know jessops used to sell it for cleaning cameras and frame glass etc ! Tip the can upside down and spray on the bump which will freeze the bodywork area that you spray, then immediately pour boiling water over it the sudden change in temperature causes the metal to flex and should in theory pop you bump out!!! worth a try at least might save you a bob or two!!

SR will be sunroof.

Does the GL have a sunroof?

I would try that, only problem is that there is a gash that goes right through the panel so it will need waterproofing, filling and painting. I'll remember that for any future bumps though, thanks.

Yes it does have a sunroof, didn't think of that.

I have posted some pics of the new one in the showroom under My "free" 940.
