Not bad for 23 years old...

Been sorting out a few electrical problems, battery changed because it kept going flat, and spent most of the day sorting out the interior lights, wouldn't switch from the doors opening, then found they had been connected up wrongly (not by me) when work had been done on the speaker wiring in the doors, then the alarm had a hissy fit and wouldn't open or lock the doors...

I do love these cars - a friend of mine has one.. unfortunately all his does is stop moss growing on a patch of his driveway while it slowly fills with water via the rear window :(

It ran well until he got it home.. at which point the fuel pump and associated pipework fell off and left a puddle of petrol under the car ;D

Nice pad you have there, Weds. :y

Incidentally, how much does a 1990 928 set you back these days? :y.

Not my place, unfortunately...

About £7.7K

In 1990 they were about 60K  :)
