« on: 07 June 2014, 16:29:06 »

General Car Chat / A happy coincidence!

« on: 05 June 2014, 19:53:19 »

A chap popped round this evening to pick up a couple of bits for a v6 into scimitar project he's doing. As I've mentioned I am now driving a rare early Saab 9000 Griffin of which there are only 48 left . What does he pull up in ...a bloody 9000 Griffin. I've been struggling to find a few bits for mine, being the early type, and he has a similar breaker which should really help my one out with a bit of part trading both ways! Made up  we were both a but taken aback by the chances of it.

Nice guy too

« on: 28 May 2014, 22:00:33 »

Seems a shame as it's a good runner in good nic with MOT but it's worth buttons so likely worth more in bits and the couple of months tax cashed in.



Lets start with:

Front door solenoids at £ 15
12 mt old gen vaux Cam sensor £ 30
Heater hedgehog £20
Coil pack £20
Very good header tank £20
Climate panel near mint, £20
12 mth old Rad £25

Will add more over next couple of days and feel free to make enquiries for other bits

General Discussion Area / Career change ideas needed

« on: 27 May 2014, 19:37:43 »

I've worked in the health sector as a project manager for nigh on 20 yrs and am considering a change for a variety of reasons. I have no clue what direction to head in and less of a clue what different fields pay so would appreciate any ideas of which sectors my skills would transfer to or ( sensible  ) suggestions of areas to consider that I may not have thought of. Really would appreciate any feedback as so long in one field has shaded my view of the jobs market!

General Car Chat / Saab 9000 update

« on: 24 May 2014, 21:20:45 »

I've been trying dig up the background of my saab 9000 and had a right result this morning. I always write down the previous owners details before the vendor sends off the v5 and wrote to a chap in Blackburn who owned it for 13 yrs, got an exteremely long phone call off him this morning, he kept pretty much a mile by mile diary detailing every job done like ATF and box filter changes every 6k , oil and filter every 4k  oh and it also had a full engine rebuild by saab 30k ago  . Would I like the book and receipts posting to me .....erm yes please!

I put it in for its MOT and it just needs a couple of rear flexi's so pretty happy with it so far for a 21yr old barge. Found a similar age one in a local scrapyard which is a bonus as they are pretty scarce.  Need to crack on with some cosmetics but it seems a goodun so far.

General Car Chat / clutch cable adjustment

« on: 08 May 2014, 21:21:19 »

Cousins shitbox cable clutch is apparently biting high, maybe shagged but will try to adjust the cable as a stopgap. To save arsing round would you tighten( shorten) the cable to lower the bite or loosen it?

It's dark and cold out there
