Well now that we can see what’s under it………..😵‍💫🤭😂😂😂

[countrywoman]

Just bought a stainless oil cooler from a Vectra 2.5 v6 for the Omega engine off the bay, £146 !!!! But how often do you see one?

[ronnyd]

Dry and bright here so removed filthy mats and vacuumed all the crud that was under 'em. then it started to rain,  Thankfully very brief so carried on and cleaned mats. All ok except drivers which is very stained. Why the hell did i get LIGHT grey ones.  Quite nice and bracing out this morning.

Checked and topped up fluids on both. Removed o/s headlight from Omega. Will take it to work tonight and polish the lens and fit a new HID bulb.

I topped up her screen wash with as much -20C as I could get in, seeing as what's in there was 50:50 mix from -10C stuff (I thought it was -20C stuff), as its gonna get a bit nippy this week.


Also did all the other fluid levels on hers, managed to get my fingers in the right place to disable the stupid stop-start wank, fitted the OS side cargo net, and finally found the missing passenger compartment fusebox I'm struggle to find where the manual said it was (because it was on the other side)


Not touched mine at all

[Raeturbo]

Not touched my Omega for ages except to jumpstart it after a month. It’s indestructible 😎

[VXL V6]

Removed the side indicator repeater on the 530D, tested the feed to it, attempted to dry the sealed LED unit to revive it. No good, ordered a new one (Mine has the park assist sensor in it so typically the unit with the hole in the housing for this is three times more expensive than the standard one ) Ordered new genuine unit, once fitted I think a session with a dremel on the old unit will follow to see if a repair can be made

Now I dont mean to stereotype, but that ususally always means the car is utterly fooked.

Drove the RR to Peterborough & bought SWMBO a new MX5 for her birthday, she's always wanted one.

No need to stereotype. Judging by the guys in my team at work, anything owned by a Gen Z'er will be "utterly fooked".

I do try to instil the need for basic maintenance, or even checking things like tyre pressures, but to no avail.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I have at last got my son to check his tyre pressures, and possibly fluids every couple of weeks or so.
He is 38. 
I was helping my Dad bleed brakes when I was 10 years old. And when I broke the gearbox on my first car (Viva) he said " theres a spare gearbox in the garden and spanners in the shed, you will work it out."

....

My Audi has traction control apparently. It flashes a little yellow light on the dash when the wheels are spinning,  ....

I have the same problem in my 84bhp turbo'd Smart For2!  But only ever at one particular junction when wet!

Yes, now you mention it....



My bestie mate's neighbours son got a brand spanker Beemer on some lease scheme, but kept driving it with a dash full of warning lights until it expired when it was about 18 months old.  AA towed it back and dumped it on the verge outside the house, and that was where it remained because, being a millennial, he was unable to pick up a phone and talk to a garage, and there were no apps for "I've Donald ducked my car".  2.5yrs later when the 4yr lease finished, it was towed away by lease company who fined the lad heavily for the state it was in - non runner, 4 flat tyres, trees growing out of the scuttle.
