5 days in
« on: 26 April 2012, 12:01:44 »
Hello,

It's been five days with the new old barge. A facelift 2.2 DTI CDX saloon.

I've already had a Basil Fawlty moment when I found the battery dead at 5am yesterday, pouring with rain (had enough juice to get the alarm going when I unlocked with the key mind).

Ah well, new battery, new wiper blades and now I just need to get the thermostat and fuel leak-off pipes changed,  and an oil change. Oh, then the four ditch-finders need changing for proper tyres. And then the wandering steering needs sorting too.

Phew, I presume, like my old Rover 75, the list never gets shorter? :)

I'm impressed with the ride quality, the little design touches, the space and how well the interior has worn compared to more modern cars with their soft-touch plastics.

Anyway, glad I found this forum, it seems full of great information and nice people too.

Hi, Welcome to the OOF..  :y

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.
