Hello OOF
I've been using this site for info for a couple of years now usually finding it after googling something about my car. So basically I've been skulking around in the shadows reaping information as a guest. Thought it was time to register although the reason I haven't before is that I felt it unlikely that I can be of much use to anyone else, not really one for spamming up the universe of car forums just for the sake of typing. I tend to be pretty busy most of the time.
I have owned my V-2000 2.5 CDX estate for about 2 1/2 years and although I once had intentions of making it my pride and joy it has become a proper work horse. Now tatty as hell and gobbling up funds on essential maintenance it will never be anything other than a means to and end.... poor thing.
I'm no mechanic but can tackle most things that a basic engineering/mechanical understanding can see me through on. I've done things like rear wheel bearing, wishbones, fitted tow bar, brakes, coil pack, oil breather clearing, track rods etc and had help from my brother on other jobs like getting rid of those crappy plastic cam covers, oil cooler change, thermostat, cam belt, etc.
Having just put some second hand bits on it as part of the pre MOT check up (many thanks Steve @
http://www.omegaspareparts.com/ for a great service and discount) I'm now troubled by the gearbox and diff. I will be posting up in due course for advice if I cant find anything by searching.
When it dies I hope to get a later one and keep it nice. 3.2 MV6 would be good
Sorry for being so boring and catcha later.
