Crikey,I managed to upload a picture

My favorite model and color. Every day I regret that these cars are no longer produced.

Sadly I no longer have it, A Volvo V70 has replaced it as much cheaper to tax/run

Is that a 9-3?

We now have a 10 plate 9-5 tractor juice edition

9-5 Aero Hot 260bhp

Ive had a couple of months of manic hours at work, and running around after the outlaws as they both have serious health issues, so Pierre has sat forlorn on the drive.
This morning I went out and fitted a new cambelt , timed it up carefully, and it fired up and sounded fine. No warning lights, fault codes etc.
Got a load of bits and pieces to refit before I can actually drive it, and its too bloody warm at the moment, so hope to finish it off tomorrow morning before it gets too hot.
Im pretty hopeful though..........until next time.

Fingers crossed.  That bleedy thing owes you at least a week of hassle free motoring...

It ain't cooling down much yet.

Filled the RRS with diesel this morning first time since towing the caravan back from Yorkshire, the air conditioning has been on constantly 322 miles and it took 63 litres which equates to 23mpg which is 3mpg more than usual ,so blows that nonsense about air-conditioning using more fuel clean out of the water.

Still doing snagging filler work on the Austin trying to get it ready for primer before the weather breaks , gave up at 3pm yesterday as to hot but looks like I will have to work through that .

Jesus, I hope all this effort bears fruit, you seem to be spending your life on it

No more than normal for this sort of job.

It obviously doesnt agree. 
Oil pissing out of the cam seal. I replaced it earlier in the year and used an SKF speedi sleeve to cover the scoring on the nose of the shaft. Something has caused it to leak again, so new camshaft and seal needed this time I think.
I just hope it doesnt spontaneously combust in this hot weather.

Drove the 428i to Watford and back, 75-80mph ish, or less in the usual w@nky traffic and average speed cameras round there. Filled it up back home, just a touch over 41mpg, brim to brim.

Very happy with that.

Would have thought that was exactly what you DID want.

Nothing....finally got Covid, sitting in front of a fan and waiting for it to bog off!

As I sat in my my Omega (parked) today, outside a hospital for 2 hours, in the heat I rued not getting my aircon regassed when it crossed my mind about a month ago.
I would happily have sacrificed the petrol to have the engine running and an icy blast from the vents.

Hopefully it passes swiftly as you've been doing your best to avoid it

I had mine done earlier this week - it was still working, but works a damn sight better now
