The list of jobs to do on it is about as long as Mr Tickle's arm and growing by the minute!

Currently in reserve whilst I wait for the Alfa to explode.

I have only ever had 1 French car, a 405 STDT bought on a whim, it was a realy nice looking example. But it came without MOT and it failed it's test and I could not be bothered... So I sold it for a loss.. Should have put some effort in as it could have been quite a good car for a few years.
Next thing I know the Plod are on the phone askign about it as it was dumped! :eek: .... Not My problem oifcer, V5 gone to DVLA for new owner..

I'm not embarrassed as I've always viewed my tintops as functional rather than fashionable. I'm also a tightwad and like to keep my motoring as cheap as possible. For that reason I buy cars and run them into the ground. (for ground,read scrapyard).
So I've got a 1998 escort which has been the most reliable car I've ever owned. Had it 10 years and still going strong. As the public visit the car park at work it's constantly getting knocked. I don't know how many headlamps it's had. Mind you I usually make a profit on the bumps. Last one gave me £80 not to go through insurance. £5 for a headlight from the local scrappy.
I've also got a 2005 facelift Focus. The wife wanted something less embarassing .
I've got a 2002 Suzuki Bandit in the garage. It does everything I want it to so see no need to buy anything else. Always kept legal but I find I'm using it less and less.
Oh and I've got about 50% of a Haynes Roadster in the garage.

Yeh. Still there. Richard the son took over some years ago. He's got a thing for mercs and has a few 190s in. Thats what type of fuel pump I'm fitting when he digs one out for me.
With the price of scrap supposedly about to drop he's weighing in a lot so hasn't got much in.

Being as it has the typical drum in disk type handbrake setup, it is quite likely to do that on its own :eek:
Renewed the whole shooting match last year & still sruggled to get enough handbrake effort to pass the MOT.
I am lead to believe that this is quite common is this type of handbrake arrangement ( Certainly been my experience over the years )

i used to have this, but i sold it to save up for my roadster build. Was completely standard apart from a single turbo conversion. The lag was terrible, but it was like a space ship once it got going. Selling it was one of my biggest mistakes, it was absolutely immaculate with just 20k on the clock from new. It once won a show and shine competition at elvington. Iv got to make sure that my roadster is something special to do it justice...

yep rotarys sure drink petrol, the older rx7s used to struggle to get beyond 18mpg and they were tiny. Id quite like an rx8, they seem to be selling for silly little money at the moment but i guess the cost is in running them:( To be honest the gto wasnt that gutsy on fuel, i used to get about 350 miles for 50 litres, as long as i was gentle with it. I once floored it with a full tank from holyhead to thirsk and had to get fuel just before i got home!

19th October 2011, 07:38 PM
The pistons themselves rotate, and the oily bits cannot be effectively separated from the bits that go bang.
Its what's known as a "total loss" oil system, it continually drips oil into the engine, and the oil gets used up at the rate of about a pint every 1000 miles.
Think maybe all the guys at work must been filling up with my oil!
You have to watch the oil level closely as it can run at 9000 rpm

Wifes daily ( or was it mine ;) ) has now been replaced.
The Merc C230 was using far too much fuel given I am now doing a fair few more miles.. So it was sold and replaced with 52 plate Mondeo Ghia X TDCi estate.
Sadly the very reliable Merc seems to have been replaced with a less reliable car!! There's a few faults I was not expecting for a car with only 91K on the clock. My garage thinks the Dual Mass may need doing at some point although it could go on for a lot longer, and the Fuel pump or injectors may need doing as the car has exhibited a flashing glowplug lamp... Neither is a cheap job. But the car is nice otherwise.. Will replace with a X-Type or 525 Touring in a couple of years so just has to last that long and hold some value ;)

ive got a knackered POS renault laguna......severely used and abused for the last 7 years....also
...yamaha 100 cc, rs or summat, its about 20/25 years old and all original
...CCM 600 rotax supermoto, big bore,ported flowed head, no airbox, race exhaust and uprated clutch, beringer front brake set up....
... Kawasaki GPz 7/11 streetfighter... 750 turbo frame, 1100 engine, various bandit, gixer,zx7r,aprillia, brembo bits on her... my pride and joy... been building for past 10/11 years... hope to get her on the road ( again ) this year....
none of em are actually at my house, and none are on the road at the moment, need to get the ccm sorted, need some fun and transport..lol... ive spent about £16,000 on the Kwacka, upgrading stuff over the years and bought the CCM so i had a ride, told the wife id leave it as standard ... £4000 later and i still tinker with it...... it doesnt bode well for getting a roadster done on a budget...lol...

Just to update this thread as our "fleet" has altered (and grown) since I last posted on this thread. We still have the Iveco Daily camper but we have replaced the wife's aging 2001 Focus diesel for a 55 plate focus diesel, proper bargain at just £2K. We've also added a short wheelbase 2 litre diesel 05 plate Ducato as a work van and I now own "Dierdre", a 1995 1.8IS "Gleneagles" MX5 in British Racing Green, this is to be next year's speed hillclimber and it was cheap as chips at just £700 with ten months ticket on it.
The Ducato (Duke) is very tidy for a van with 190,000 miles under its tyres and drives like a charm, the Focus drives beautifully too and with a new cam belt and air con regas its good to go. Dierdre has just had a new cambelt but is in need of a couple of tyres (watching loads on Ebay at the moment along with a few other bits n bobs) but feels quick and fun on the 200 yard driveway to my workshop.
D.
P.S. its called Dierdre 'cos its a hairdressers car innit?

My Update....
The Mondeo Killed another injector, and then 400 Miles later the DualMass failed.
The EGR also seems to be playing up and opening under cold idle which it's not supposed to do.

DMF is the work of the devil and quite possibly the most ridiculous engineering solution ever. Will you fix or is it not worth it?

Ford Mondeo 1.8 Petrol, 03 Plate. Butterfly valves in the inlet manifold went a week after I bought it, makes a lovely rattle now since the valve clearances need redoing :D

:o A Chrysler Sebring!
it was a good idea at the time?
Has it back about a dozen times under warranty as they refused to accept the ring-gear had a chipped tooth!
