I’ll bare that in mind, I’m topping the coolant up weekly at the mo, although it could be worse

A proper fizzy Italian alternative to the Beverian money waister mini that’s so so common

There’s a champagne Elite on eBay mini facelift and I would if I had the money, space and time to care for it and my 99 built facelift!
There will come a time soon when you will see the odd one at a car show but you don’t see Scorpio cosworths now and they were about at roughly the same time. who knows, it could be a talking point in the future?

I think it’s fair to say it’s failed! Thanks for the input, easy fix?

General Car Chat / 2.5 quad cam question
« on: 16 January 2018, 18:02:08 »
Are there any week points to the cooling system on the left hand side of the V6 and if so what are they?
It’s leaking from somewhere up between the back of the exhaust manifold and fire wall and we couldn’t see exactly where

General Car Chat / Re: So When Did You Last Have A Puncture?
« on: 15 January 2018, 20:24:25 »
I don’t want to tempt fate but I had about two years ago I had a Saab that I loved for it’s over engineered quality but it suffered several punctures in under a year.
If that wasn’t enough the omega then got one in a nice new Dunlop and has since had all four replaced due to wear 🙁

General Car Chat / Battery conditioners
« on: 15 January 2018, 13:54:30 »
Any thoughts on the best battery conditioners?
The best rated I’ve seen is from Halfords but basically my CD will be enjoying a rest for a few months and be enjoying the odd trip rather than daily use

I’m guessing you’ll trade them as they become dirty if you’ve got 7?
Like most people on here I clean my cars and quite enjoy it, even in the current weather she gets washed polished most weeks with additional clay when required.

Looks like a time warp from the 90s sad to see and I bet it’s had some abuse

General Car Chat / Re: Car sales.... Not
« on: 08 January 2018, 23:14:43 »
I had a similar experience with our local Aston Martin dealer, let me look round the cars but wouldn’t give me any information on the rapide as the salesman was busy and I’d have to make an appointment. for a broacher?
By contrast the local Maserati dealers welcomed me asking what I was after and the receptionist, yes receptionist gave me a very detailed over view of the range and in-depth spec of the car I’m interested in!
For that alone they’ve got my business come bonus time😊

General Car Chat / Re: Old batteries- do they have a scrap value?
« on: 07 January 2018, 18:37:12 »
I can see them having a value due to the metals, however I would ask if the cost of disposal of the acid would cost what you’d get for the metals?
