I was all set to pop down to Plymouth to look at/potentially buy an LPGd VXR8, and only popped into the garage to pick up a crank sensor

Was told how much, worked out the ppm and came over all sensible apologies for that too... 

Plan is to change the oil every 5k, the air and fuel filters every 10k, and chuck it into Vauxhall every 20k for a once over to avoid warranty grumbles

So did you come to Plymouth and buy a VXR8 or not?

Looking at the pic, not

The crank sensor was at my local dealer

Putting that another way, you'd have heard me leaving Cornwall if I had

Hmmm, so an LPGd VXR8 needs a new home, and is local to me.....
How much?

Is that Casa del Al, Al?


Picked up yet more paving slabs in mine again today - this time a reasonable number and the self levelling actually worked Got almost all the way home (to Sainsbury on the A322 for the locals), went to pull away from the lights and the CEL went 'flash flash flash flash' .. I now appear to have a four cylinder V6

Here's hoping for some dry days ( ) next week to get the inlet manifold off and the coil packs out to see if it's wells full of oil/water/mystery substance, or just knackered coil packs.

Aye, that be it...

You and me both for this poxy weather have to strip the interiors of both cars to swap the Taxi gubbins over, and would rather it not be cold and wet and miserable when I do

[Andy H]

Fitted new rear springs, changed the air filters, changed the spark plugs. Had forgotten what a pain it was to change the plugs

[05omegav6]

Done its last Taxi job

263565 miles, still on the original engine/box/diff Got to pull the meter out later, assuming it stops raining for ten minutes, and plumb it into the new office...

[Shackeng]

Yesterday actually - eventually got the driver's door card to latch into the clips, and refitted everything. Nice to have it working properly again
Cleaned and Hammerited the rust patches on the brake lines.
Stripped the rear brakes, removed discs and handbrake shoes, parts should arrive tomorrow.
