A wee update as it's been a while. Still getting bits and bobs done on her, car started to get a vibration under load so we suspect either the inner cv boots or the prop shaft bearing, it's also thrown up a couple of faults on the gearbox. 'F125 switch implausible signal Intermittant' which in turn then throws up the torque converter 17125. Car is away to my friend who works on her for some loving, hopefully the F125 fault can be replaced and i won't need a full rebuild!! Other than that it's been 6 months of trouble free motoring, done 5k since i got her and still love the noise and power and i have managed to get my fuel consumption down to horrendous as i said i would earlier in the thread.
Fingers crossed i can get her back up and running again soon :blackrs4:

How much loving would you have to give him to get him to do, for example, your F125?

Get some Stjärnagloss Glaspärla Hyper Beader. This stuff is magic. Haven't had to wax my cars for years.

Bollox. You're right. Arghh. Just as I was finishing my last bottle.

Oh well. This stuff is pretty similar, but I didn't like it because it smells of artificial bananas:

This stuff might work, too. I'll have to try some.

I used to use the hyper beader in the snow foam lance after washing with the mitt and rinsing. Then 95% rinse off and towel dry.

So finally got some time to get the exhaust sorted - obvious choice - Miltek. Got myself a straight through one - I have double glazing all ofer the car so inside it's still pretty quiet and you can have normal conversation.
Just had time to do a stationary video but I think the sound is just perfect on the car :biggrin3:
