Not had her for 2 yrs and in that time it looks like shes not been serviced  >:(

Inside is covered in dog hair and not just a little bit im going to be there for days getting it out.

shes not been washed ether in that time. the paint work has seen better days too

i gave her up in imaculate condition im gutted really gutted but i am giong to put her back to her former glory  :)

plus today driving her home all she wanted to do was go think i might have hit 110mph had to force her to slow down cant wait for the weekend to get stuck into her and put her right!

Its a shame people just jump in and do nothing but abuse the cars , mine was in a similar state ...sounds like a good clean up and service will give it a new lease of life  :y

An LPG service on a three quarter engine will consider of 2 jubilee clips, a visual check, and plugging in a laptop... so I couldn't possibly charge more than a cuppa tea, seeing as I'd be passing anyway :y
