What was it? Looks like slate or stone
At least the tire wasn't new, looks like it's close enough to the limit

I have a very small lawnmower storage thingy but that’s it. Wish I could get rid of the bikes@redanni I love the Focus RS observation throne in the corner there
I wish I had a garage that tidy! Do you have another shed somewhere for usual tat? (lawnmower, BBQ, riffraff)
Thanks for the comments, appreciate it
It's a bit lower than standard at the back but not as low as the coilovers; haven't the fronts in yet as I've broken my thumb but already its more comfortable.Is this just keeping it standard ride height? My suspension is tired and ive been looking at the B12 kits, but cant justify spending £600+ on shocks and springs
And i begrudge buying a cheapo set of coilovers for it as i dont need it any lower than how it currently sits (circa 40-50mm)
Yes it looks like a bit of slate, I think I picked it up at Seapark Holywood.

Forced. 3rd time in 14 monthsOut in the wet?!!
Never worry, everywhere was cleaned
not really today but might as well have been....broke the return pipe off my power steering reservoir. Buying a replacement is not an option as it's part of the pump. how would you recommend repairing this? it's a fairly substantial pipe that fits into it so I'm reluctant to just glue the brittle broken bit back on.

Yeah something like the above. Probably brass with repair washer and a seal either side. Make sure surfaces are smooth and as flat as possible.
Did something similar with a cooling pipe in the MX-5 and it's held up fine.

I replaced a bottom arm in the Vectra due to a knocking ball joint and then gave her a wash with nothing but the best from Anachem Automotive
Monday. Day off work, empty Causeway Coastal route. Met a few old convertibles along the way.
Random I know, but would I have passed your house going kilrea garvagh direction? Seen a nice one sitting at a house up off the road.
Lots to look at in the passenger seat of the van
Also seen a few oul cars like that today around randalstown to Antrim

Finally got the coil overs in, every time I went to do something I needed a new tool! Everything is made very awkward to work on newish cars at home now
havnt got it on the ground yet but should be able to do that on Saturday, just took the time to tide the brake discs with a bit of vht anthracite and sealer, quite chuffed even though you won’t really see it all!
