I had the same boot spoiler. It was ok until water got into the cracks in the foam and expanded when it froze in winter.If my memory of my brother-in-laws three MK2 2.8 Granada Ghia X’s is correct (he had two X’s and one X Executive), the standard Ghia X had flat leather (or cloth) and the X Executive had puffed up leather. The Executive seat looked like it had an additional topper and looked like someone had bolted a three piece suite in to the car and I always thought that it looked a bit overdone.
Each to their own though.
This clip shows what I mean regarding the original Executive Connelly Leather seats. Oh, and his zorst could do with being a big bigger as well. Turn the sound down as the reviewer gets on your tit. Nice restoration otherwise though.

She looked pretty good in 'Walkabout' too.Are you moving to Canada thenAfter you reach a 'certain age', they hammer you again.Relatively inexpensive insurance quotes above.
Being an old bastard can be a good thing at times.
Can't wait until I'm 34 and can get cheap insurance!
By the time I get to that stage they'll probably be routinely euthanising people of a 'certain age' so I won't have to worry about my car insurance.
No but our shiny new progressive Labour Govt will bring it in, and by the time I get to a certain age they'll be offering euthanasia as a cure for the common cold or anything that makes you a mild inconvenience.
In the film Logan's run the cut of point for 'termination' was 30 years. Although you did get the chance to bone Jenny Agutter first if luck was on your side.
If they're decent mechanics they'll know that they're exactly that.Must be a day for MOT passes - a pass on the Petrol Blue 3.2 Elite with clean bill of health and no advisories. In fact it created a lot of admiration from the other mechanics during its test..Congratulations on the MOT pass
It's quite often a stranger says ...
"not seen one of them in a while" ""great car, I used to have one" etc
I hope they are not too disappointed when I don't praise their common as muck, so Shiny ,Eurh!tbox
Going back quite a number of years now, the tester at the little village garage i usedOne thing that is mandatory ,yet I doubt ever gets tested .....
"speedometer is working correctly and gives an accurate reading"
obviously speedos are NEVER tested on AUDIs, Golf GTIs (or golfs pretending to be GTI, with Ebay badges,) etc
A few years back ... maybe 10/13 ..... I presented an Astra G for test with a none working speedo/odometer.
The car passed without comment! (eventually )
Same here in Bury St. Eds. You could put a blue rosette on a chimp and it would get a 20k majority. There again the chimp would be a better bet bet than the vvankers we have in the HoC at the moment.I don't have any problem when choosing who to vote for, because my vote will make no difference in BarnsleyI kind of hope your right, as I dread Starmer and co having a big majority when they win.
Not sure who to vote for come the election.
Starmer is terminally dull and uninspiring while our nipple high PM also leaves me cold.
Neither will get my vote.
Just give a good hard shove, the desirable Signum will think it's having a colonoscopy.Strange So how does the dip stick reach the oil if there's an obstruction ??....
Changing the oil+filter is interesting, if car isn't high enough you can't drop undertray flap down enough, .....
you need a Pela oil-sucker-outerer
My oil-sucker-outerer can't be pushed down far enough to suck the oil from my classic and highly desirable Vauxhall.
The tube is long enough but there is an obstruction of some kind.
Exactly my thoughts.......The dipstick is extremely skinny for the last 5 or 6 inches and the tube simply can't be pushed in far enough.
