that looks very very nice!!

Mint condition as well by the looks of things, what was wrong with it? did i miss something?

"heating problems" Could be anything, I suppose, but if was an 'easy fix', I guess they wouldn't be letting it go for nowt.

Humm could be a HG fail, or oil cooler...

Is it just me or is there loads of room in that engine bay? - A lot of things seam hidden as well

If it is of any consolation, I had a day like this today. Not with the meega, luckily I was not doing any work on the car today...

All kind of things went wrong today, like an expensive piece of kit that we ordered for a customer was delivered... twice, because someone at our office made a mistake and err... ordered it twice, things like that.

But the icing on the cake was when I decided I needed a rest from all this, went into Starbucks for a coffee, then needed the loo... well the men's was busy, but the disbaled was wide open, so I looked left, looked right, and went for it. As soon as I closed the door there was complete darkness, so I pulled the cord to switch on the light, only it wasn't the cord to switch on the light, it was the emergency alarm for disabled people that need assistance... So a very loud alarm went off, and a few memebers of staff apparently rushed to the door and were trying to force their way in. I opened the door, appologised briefly, and quickly walked out ignoring their surprised looks.

The ones that didn't fall apart, or that I didn't smash up in a minor Mr Angry moment...

Minor!!  

Was quite funny, should have secretly filmed it and posted it on here

Cheers Ronnie - its the time it takes dealer to get the parts (doubt they'll stock them - they didn't stock the oil cooler, which surprised me), likely to be Monday.

Sending tunnie to scrappy with some tools tomorrow...

Yup, got me some propper tools!  

Should prove interesting, first time I would have stripped an engine down to get to the oil cooler.

I was at BCA Blackbusche in Surrey a few weeks ago, saw a Y plate Jag X-Type 2.5 V6 80k miles go for 3.5k!  

I'd avoid the 75 V6's personally, I hear cambelts on them are a right b!tch to change, 2 belts needed and its a 7 hour dealer job!!  

Volvo sounds nice.... could get a megga with the same spec for half the price though

« on: 23 August 2006, 12:39:52 »

my mum always used to comment on how could i spend soooo much time on my computer, she'd always be asking what I had been doing.

Since she's got one of her own, she's always on it!! Ordering things various shopping bits.... she is amazed at how the time flys!

Sadly though I can't really comment on the 'other half' being keen on the forum, unless my Springer Spaniel counts?
