That's another year before you have to replace it then

Yeh that's what the missus said 
Don't want to get to the point were I have to scrap it so i'm going to sort out the wheel arches and other bits and bobs while I look around then sell it on.
They can't be many 3.2 Mv6 estates out there with totally sorted suspension / bushes, a proper manual conversion and once the arches are done, very little rust 
164K miles and sweet as a nut engine and LPG if the new owner can be bothered to fit a new LPG tank 

I hope you find a good home for it, MV6 Estates are worth preserving

 Yes, should have kept mine, Hindsight. Think it's in Poland now.

Filled it with diesel & fetched the caravan from storage and driving down to Cornwall..😎

[GastronomicKleptomaniac]

Removed the fuel tank from Project Horace (Mk2 Golf with more hole than car). Now just to strip the underseal and cross my fingers I don't have to pick it all up with a dustpan and brush... Or a Henry.

Drove one of them.
Probably last day of summer here in Ireland so being a man of infinite leisure now  decided to have a little road trip up and over the Caha mountains and home via what is known as the Healey Pass . Almost no vehicles on the 65 miles travelled and absolute silence wherever I stopped with the advantage of a total lack of fellow humans .....Bliss .

Fu// that’s beautiful, just like my area👍

Lovely car, and rather nice surroundings too 

I picked the BMW up on Friday and put 600miles on it since. So far I'm very impressed. As a jack of all trades, it's a pretty remarkable vehicle.

Kerry is a stunningly beautiful place. I think the only place Ive been to that could compare to it is the area around the lakes in Northern Italy.
Beemer looks lovely too.

I personally think that is the best looking model BMW have ever made a really beautiful car.

Exhaust pipes of 2 1/4 inches and 2X2 rear muffler already corroded by rust, replaced by new pieces of 2.5 inches in diameter and at the end double chrome tips of 3 inches. Music of 3000 engine at the limit of legality. 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Cut out a small piece of rust under header tank (so top of inner wing/ wheelarch) and ended up with a hole the size of a £2 coin.
Welded a patch over the hole and repainted the area.
Need to underseal the underneath of it, but that will have to wait for a drier day.

What a beautiful place! Typical winding road through the mountains, very common in my state, especially in the central and southern regions.

A sudden loss of full power reminded me I really need to look at the big black pussy.

Still, the door lock motor eventually arrived, so I also have that to look forward to.  As thats the forth, hopefully it will be the last time I have to do one.

Have had all 4 replaced on the RRS be interesting to see how long they last, 2 last year (rears) & had the 2 fronts replaced  last month  when having new discs & pads fitted as they were starting to play up no mention in the service history of them being replaced before, they are a really common fault.

I am told its the same issue as the Omega one and lots of other marques, not enough wetting current through the switch contacts so they all 'go' at the same time
