Did an oil and filter change on the 306 and I thought I'd renew the
brake fluid as well; I've not done it in the two years I've had it and I
don't know how long it's been in there overall. I reckon it's got some
water in as it *is* prone to losing the brakes after a bit of heavy ...

Went to have another look at the 120d and also at the 520d, V50 and Jag
X-Type 2.0D today.
The 120d is growing on me. ES spec. with 'Dynamic' pack is quite nice
and only needs cruise adding to put it at the spec. I'd want. quite

Came across this on another group. Dunno if it's available from a UK
company but they will post here at reasonable rates.
Ideal if you've changed the rear axle ratio, etc. But only works for
electronic pulse counting types.

There's an ad on telly at the moment for yet another firm of ambulance
chasers. It shows some gormless muppet wittering on about driving past a
school.
He then says that there were some kids at the bus stop and "perhaps the

I just noticed how cheap the twin spark 156s have become both on
Autotrader and ebarf and I'm quite tempted to get one as a way of
filling the four-seater shaped hole in my fleet.
So, what does the panel say - bad idea?

Had to shift a cartload of old PCs from the MD's daughters school to the
recyclers.
Spec 4.0 LTD
Not bad for an old P reg with 103k miles on it.

Or going. No steam, no overheating, but a header tank full of milkshake
and the header was pressurised enough to squeeze neat oil out of the
header tank past the very tight cap.
Nothing in the oil.

On my MK2. I understand the gist is something to do with getting compressed
air into the cylinder to keep the valves closed - I assume there's a special
tool for blowing air into a spark plug hole? What's the rest of it - is it a
case of rocker cover off, cams off, tappets off ...

The pretty girl thread...
Its only got 1280 pages of photos!

Important stuff first, hard touch dash (slightly rubbery coating), no
cupholders.
Quite good fun, actually. Not very quick, but pretty good in 3rd,
handled well but had the 18" wheels on which made it into a tramlining

Evening slags
My sisters 205 has landed on my drive as I'm suppose to be getting rid of it
for her.  There's something wrong with the steering but I've never
experienced it before - I assume it's just a knackered rack but wondered it

I made all new door trims for the Landcruiser this week which makes it a much
nicer place to sit in.  And swapped the crappy 2 way speakers for some 3 way
Clarions.  Next job is to install the new Sony MP3 deck and fix the handbrake.
Forgot how much I enjoy playing with cars.
