Title: Thank you josh!!!!!
Post by: MaxV6 on 09 October 2010, 19:41:09
and sorry Pedro....


I now own a 3.2 Mv6 facelift estate in silver...

with the cleanest damn bodywork i've ever seen on a car 9 years old, or indeed 5 years old....  1 small scratch on the tailgate , one loose reflector lens ,   a tiny hint under the rear wiper....   but literally a smidgeon...


there are other faults...  but on a  car this clean it's worth sorting them out.

rocker cover gaskets. & bolt o rings
wishbone or drop link....   or both need sorting..
probably a bush or two at the rear.

needs new rear discs for sure, maybe fronts...

and a cambelt change is due in the next 6000 miles....    sooner rather than later for my conscience.


and the stereo faceplate is loose, and the CDC case won;t eject.


sat nav is tempermental, but gonna change the aerial tomorrow to see if it makes any difference...     it does work though.....   


1 bulb behind the half height GID.

and the passenger front seat height adjustment appears to be stuck fully up.


....  there's also something very weird in the rear quarter panel interior, that i think relates to some air based suspension adjustment or reinforcement for towing  (oh yes, it has a full on shin breaker)

air con needs regassed as well


i know Pedro's Mv6 had most of this sorted already, but you HAVE to see how clean and tidy the body on this thing is..... and it's 25K lower miles.... 



I'd like to talk to Daz and Pete and anyone else who can do this stuff at sensible costs  about getting g ALL the jobs done ASAP.    then i'll see what to do with the Elite...   if anyone wants a project maybe...   or do it back up to spec and have 2 miggy estates .... 


it's SO PRETTY!!!!!

physically, "in the flesh"  it really IS as clean as it looks and says


just a few bits to sort out .....

I enjoyed the trip down to Harlow and looking at the vehicle in question. After you've sorted out the little faults, it'll be a good'un  :y

When I first met MaxV6, I had to do a double take, he is an absolute spitting image, in looks and in mannerism, of a bloke I used to work for ;D.  So, Max, if ever I call you Tony, thats why ;D

You dont have an identical twin called Tony do you :P

I've been to the opera in Verona, and ended up eating at bloody McDonalds!!!!  (Long story, involving not being able to get a table at a restuarant before the opera started, and my mate is a diabetic).  Quite funny, seeing all the posh toffs dressed up to the nighs, scoffing in Mackey D's ;D


So, unless your cousin flips burgers, no, I probably haven't met him ;D ;D ;D
