Noticed that the Bullet had had a big wee wee.

Guess I should buy another HBV, I think this one might be original (16yrs, 218k)

3.2 got an outing to sea side yesterday, highlighted again we need more space for anything more than a day trip.



The 3.2's are seriously rubbish on fuel, 28mpg over 150 miles 95% motorway too  ::)

Plan to do same run in the Estate in a few weeks, be interesting to see how the 3.0 compares  :)
Other things equal, the 3.0l is more economical. That said, 28mpg isn't bad from a large, heavy 200bhp barge.

Looks like Skeggy  :)

 ;D ;D

No. Brighton as said earlier  :y

 :(

looks just like Skegg  ;D

nowt like skeggy. It isn't raining. :)

Black Omega went in for MOT today, only needed a new steering idler and rear brake pads...and no advisories. The other Omega is booked in tomorrow, so hopefully I'll have two fresh MOT's!

Managed to buy x6 brand new 225 55 16 Michelin Primacy's for £300...came from a company who used to run a fair few BMW 5 series.

You can shove your Michelin up yer jacksie ;D. They aren't suitable for me ;D

I can't really go out at the moment, as much as your pub does a perfectly adequate burger, I'm a bit poorly.  I do need to get over your way one day after work, as I need a chat with the Parts department at Skurrays....  ....bit cheeky to ask them to deliver just an HBV ;D

Hopefully an easy, quick fix. Never seen one leak (only the pipes going to it).

Ah yes, I phoned him to ask about tints...he's no longer doing it. He's pretty much retired  :-\

He did however say he'd email people he knows locally who could do it at a competive price. I'll let you know  :y

So methinks the only viable way forward after that is to tap into the CD Audio on the ribbon cable.

Should give crystal clear (well as good as it's going to get) audio.... just won't be overridden by Traffic messages and Nav Instructions.
