Well I found the place and I'm here. My car got driven into and I have a quote for £268 to repair it - I will pass this on to Interlink so they can pay the repair place.

Looks like my bumper had been sprayed before as we found a mess at one end where it had popped out slightly. Also the paint was flaking off rather than being chipped - he said it had been poorly sprayed. He will also be spraying my wing spoiler.

Before the holidays I am going to have to fix the leak behind the engine, best case is loose Jubilee clip, worst is badly cut pipework, HBV is in the middle!

Yes it has leaked since I fitted the evaporator feed

Other jobs are to refit the radio aerial as it fell off as I pushed the head unit back in. However the 10 CD changer I fitted made life more interesting anyway.

My problem with CD changers is I always forget to change CDs. Currently, in my changer, I have a nice selection of Xmas tunes. ie Slade, Wizard, Band Aid etc  

[Martin_1962]

Mine is supposed to do mp3 as well. I have bought a couple of CDs for it and TBH half the songs on a CD are pants.

I will be doing a few before holiday, I am wondering if the changer would do ATRAC though as it is a Sony

[Markie]

sounds like it could be mine (so many niggly jobs to do)

• Brake pad and handbrake shoe overhaul

Full service
New centre caps to fit
two new tyres ( got them) to fit
Climate Control bulbs to replace
[/list]

then i am on to the long term stuff

• rust bubbles along every window ledge

sleek and shiny new (blueflame?) exhaust
[/list]
so many jobs, but we still love them Omegas really  

[Martin_1962]

Mine is juddering while braking - new discs required, also I think the front tyres are borderline.

Lots of work some my fault some wear and tear

[Markie]

i have been threatening to do all this work for 6 weeks, this time i will do it!!

3days off work next week - should leave me just the rust to sort out.

Mr Imber....Tyre Wear and juddering, me thinks youve been hard driving   like me!

[TheBoy]

And what else is an MV6 for?

(TheBoy runs and hides knowing that MarinImber wrote his MV6 off)

I`d run even faster and hide even better - remember a courier also pranged his replacement recently

They were quite worn when I bought the car, I do tend to drive hard though!

You sod - you now owe me a Y32SE and AR35 for my next upgrade!

[Martin_1962]

And the 2.6 is little slower than the 3.0!

Ex hire car well thrashed -  goes well

Is it safe to come back out yet  

[Markie]

yup i think its safe, Martin is off looking for his signature, but dont wander in front of him - he has dodgy brakes and may ( accidentley) run over you
