is now the proud owner of TWO migs
« on: 19 January 2013, 18:40:40 »
 :y

went and picked up another vauxhall estate 2.0 16v lpg today. brought it off a OOfer too  :y thank you claire.

shes mint :y

Got a few things id like to do to her before she does some serious motoring.

Cosmetically she is mint very sexy looking will be even better once we have
1. change the seats over in the front.
2. change the door cards.
3. needs unbadging on the bonnet
4. rust treat and respray rust areas.
5. put smoked side repeaters on her.

mechanically   she is good really happy with her  just a couple of things.
1. change the wiper blades as they are not 100% in this weather.
2. oil and filter change.
3. gearbox fliud change, (gearbox is nice and smooth but dont think its ever been done.)
4. Brake fluid change and bleed. (Her brakes are very reactive but dont know how old the fliud is)
5. coolant flush through and change.
6. get battery changed in one key and have it re programmed.
7. get her on the uklpg register ( when i can afford the cost of the inspection)
8. find out why she smells of rotten eggs when you put your foot down hard.

Shes going to be our main family car and mrs miggy is going to be my commuter as i know her and her noises and kinks.

Sounds like I've got some competition in the "Oh no, I've bought another Omega" stakes!  ;D

Glad you're happy with your new purchase Marie.  Look forward to seeing her once you've waved your magic wand over her!   :y

Thankyou guys.

well it will be an as and when with Tish (Formally known as Morticia) with working away from home i dont really have much time to work on the motors unless im home for extended periods holidays and such like. Dont worry though i will do the jobs and tinker  :y

twiglet two is my max not having anymore i have no where to put them drive is only big enough for one. and parking in the close is epic. plus if i eneded up with a third it would have to be for a very good reason lol

I have two half engines now which i like no reason to have a bigger engine just costs more lol. plus they are much easier to work on more space in the engine bay unlike the V6 lol

oh yeah just thought need to add sort the power steering leak. thats the easy job looks like the jubile clip is loose its going to take me longer to clean the leak up then fix it  :'(

My 2 estates would look absolutely identical, if I hadn't put all the Irmscher stuff on the 3.2.  ::)  Oh well, I'll just have to do the same with the dti!   ;D

You on the look out for a third one Marie?  ;D ;D ;)

When one goes "wrong", at least you have a set of "spares" on the other to "troublesoot/fix" :y
