What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[Chris0]

That was a bit of a bargin, surely it was worth a lot more than what you were asking for it?

Hard one to judge but in my opinion I wasn’t being greedy with it probably couldn’t get a decent turbo Impreza for that price these days

One sold down south that was converted to manual like mine for €4000 in February. It then was resold for €6500 by the new owner last week. It is easily going to creep up in price over the next few years if it’s looked after and tidied up.

Give it a wash for the first time since before Christmas. Also fitted the clear fog light I got along with a red led.

Yeah it still drives nice, take it to work the off day tho really should drive it more and use it for walking the dog lol

Not worth selling so might as well use away at it

First day commuting in the Cayenne, not too far off the Range Rover mpg wise.

What engine was your RR? I’m getting about 25-26mpg with the 4.4V8 diesel which i thought was pretty good

You home full time now with the new job Gav, or still having to travel too?

I am yes. Been home since last July so had to get out and get a job and keep the wages coming in. Having to work for a living now!

4.4 V8 petrol it was, the jag engine. Think the best I done was coming back from London and got early 20s mpg.

Happy days. Some change I’m sure!

Tackled a sticky caliper on the roadster.

Forgot how much fun rusty UK cars were to work at!

I feel your pain, I was putting shocks, track rod ends and drop links in my mates Audi 80 convertible last year and had to take one side apart with an angle grinder

I was out this morning using the Ranger and the trailer. I noticed on the way home that the rear tub was moving around different to the rest of the body.

So decided to lift the tub off...

And this is what I found...

Don't even know where to start or if there is any solid metal left to weld to.

Jeepers

What's worse is that it has an actual MOT and not a COVID extension.

 

[Ben]

Get that tub back on and the Ranger onto gumtree lol.

Or tie a big rope around a heavy immovable object and around the tow bar. Set up video camera, sit in ranger throttle to the floor and drop the clutch in first. Post aftermath here.

Seriously thought, that's shocking! You'd wonder how that went through an MOT!

 

[Lyons]

An English one I assume!?

Found this post after a quick search for C4. Can you remember how this stuff held up? Looking to get some for my own Trafic, but it's very mixed reviews considering the cost. I don't mind if it's as good as it says, but some reviewers state that it leaves permanent streaks.

I would have no problem using it again. Not quite sure of the durability but I would have remembered if it was for FA so it must’ve been good.

No, it was somewhere here. I haven't the paperwork handy to check though. I bought it back in September but it had been MOT'd a few months before that.

To be fair it looked like this when I first lifted the tub off - the other photo is after I poked around with the screw driver. Still pretty bad looking. Chassis is spot on from looking in from the wheel arches.
