Am I allowed to post with my DIESEL car, or is this for petrolheads only? It looks bog standard on the outside except for a couple of dings and it's Elk (Moose) badges. Mostly internal cosmetic but some interesting differences under the bonnet. I am still trying to wring the secrets from VW of their 225 bhp D24TIC upgrade. 200 bhp will be enough to go on with.

All the best, Peter.

Will have some fairly soon now Iain. I am in need (like D14d) of a decent tailgate spoiler (and a caravan spoiler for the rear roof) to make my rear window stay clean and my cars towing streamlining and stability much improved. It's towing stability is already fine but a little improvement in towing fuel consumption figures would be rather nice. I have also been searching for a suspension tower strut to suit my car (I am not sure if the ones for B230 type engines will fit over my inlet trunking arrangements). I have also found that different pump fuels can differ amazingly in the fuel consumption figures obtained.

All the best, Peter.

Default RE: 240 estate

Hi all,
I want to claim the prize for least modified! But I'm also the only 240 here. It's a '88 240gl estate. Debadged, all the trim has been junked and I'm still welding the holes up......I've removed the rear windscreen wiper and washer, welded and smoothed the holes. The vinyl trim along the top of the doors/windows has come off and the roof is about to be painted black (red body).
The biggest mod is that I've lowered it. By 4 inches all round. Tut tut, cut springs. It's just passed an MOT today so it proves that it can be done safely, although the MOT tester thinks I'm mad. He's probably right.
