Shooting season ended on the 1st, today the dog box came out, carpet brushed, rubber mats out, carpet mats back in and the parcel shelf also went back in. 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

I has highlighted that I am going to need to refurb the wheels this year, but do I stay black, go silver or another colour?[/img]

This was last night but think some of you might enjoy it , myself and my eldest daughter had gone for a coffee and were pulling out of garden centre carpark when a nova or some such ( bright orange ) came flying up behind me ( road was clear as i pulled out ) , anyway I, like most men , i fancy myself as a bit of a ' pilot ' and as we approached the upcoming roundabout i decided to pass my breaking point , wait another 50 feet and brake, road was wet and very quiet traffic wise, RR got a bit of a front end slide once off the brakesand turning in but nothing dramatic but Nova man went very wide , we then crossed over the motorway, here I floored it and on to the next roundabout to take us back onto the southbound motorway , we left nova man behind until once on the motorway we cruised along with nova man roaring past with himself and his 3 ' crew staring at the 'old lad 'who had left him behind !!! How I chuckled.

Just to be clear , the roads were empty and all roads had no houses or any buildings on them. Speed never went over limit . For anyone from Dublin , it was the Johnstown garden centre in Naas.

Just thought i would share. 2015 4.4 AB
GSXR 1000 K5
R1 1998

Replaced rear view camera for one that was recommend on here,works a treat

As a result of that,having the car sat in reverse for 10 minutes with the engine off,the battery finally gave up the ghost and wouldn't turn over,trip to halfrauds and £132 later,fitted a yuasa item with 5 year guarantee.

As a result of fitting new battery,I had the airbag light appear on the dash,out with the iid tool.

Once light was cleared I had a rummage through the menu as I haven't really had a play with it yet,and came across suspension height settings,so lowered it by 10mm all round,after a 20 jaunt through some twisty stuff,it does feel better planted,but obviously no sports car,the TVR has that covered

Dolph34, its a given that you're a pilot with an R1 and Gixer 1000 in the stable.
Got a ZX636R, not quite as quick but corners sublimely.
Anyhoo, I finally got round to got to sticking the Fatty sticker on the window. Dried out the condensation in the rear lens'. Trying to track down an annoying squeak from the rear seats next. 2007 Vogue TDV8 in Zermatt Silver with Charcoal

Swapped out the interior bulbs for LED , amazed at how hot some of the existing bulbs got
Touched up some leather wear on the bolster
Then indoors out of the hail , fitted new battery pack to the venture cam - works a treat now 4.4 AdBlu Tractor
4.2 SC - sold

Got rid of the bowling ball in the front end.

Sway bar links and sway bar bushes replaced, no more clunking. 2012 L322 5.0l NA

MOT with no advisories. Always a relief  Previous cars:
S-Max 2007-2013 (only diesel I've had, good car but expensive when diesely bits go wrong, so what's the point?)
Galaxy 2001-2007
Mondeo Estate 1997-2001
Sierra Estate 1993-1997
Uno Turbo 1987 -1993
Fiesta 1984 - 1987
Fiat 127 1982 - 1984

Took it to get the recall P054 Front Brake Hoses done.

Also came away with a video detailing the inspection and a check sheet of green ticks.

Oil and filer change... £20 for oil, £11.94 for filter plus Vat. Total £38.32. 9 thousand miles since last change. I belive you cant change it often enough on a TdV8 !

MOT today, 15,000 since the last one. Didnt realise it was that high but the miles just slip away when you are cosseted in your FFRR. Passed with no advisories. Phew !

Checked for oil leak turns out to be PAS fluid. New hoses will cure that.
Rear washer had not worked since before Christmas, removed spoiler then jets from wiper arm, asked wife to see if screen wash was coming out, found her new coat is indeed waterproof don't ask, rinsed the jets out with shower cleaner and then clean water. Refitted and all fine.

Fitted new silicone top hoses to try and rid me of an increasingly regular “engine system fault”.
Fingers crossed it seems to have done the trick.  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
