The other love of my life is Marmite. My Umm Alter II, beauty is in the eye of the beholder :D

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.

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?
