Happy Birthday bud :thumbup:

I know it's easy to say this but what on earth are people thinking when they think big companies (or anyone for that matter) just gives stuff away for no apparent reason. It always makes me cringe when my Facebook friends comment on or share statuses/pages that say 'share this and get a free PS4' or 'like this and get entered into a draw for £100', or 'we've got 100 XBox Ones with opened packaging so we can't sell them, so we're giving them away!'. Really?

One of the few voices of reason and sanity left in this world. Rest in Peace sir.

Anyway back on-thread, as mentioned already if you're thinking about breaking the modifying guns out then make sure yourself or a garage you trust gives the car a good check-over mechanically first. If you want big power then there are people on here who can advise (and carry out the work), and it would be cheaper to do in one go, whereas conversely there are people like myself who have had the car modified gradually over the course of years and perhaps not followed a particular upgrade path.

Happy Birthday Jeff!! :thumbup:

I'm Dave and so is my wife. (that's from Monty Python if you don't know!)

RIP Paul. Can't believe it. :(

as above really - RIP Lewis :( :(

Has that fixed your power steering issue as well? I've had a similar issue for a while whereby the speedo will bounce between the correct speed and zero, the odometer will stop working (while the speedo is at rest) and the power steering is intermittent. Funnily enough this issue only occurs when there's been lots of rain (e.g. over the past couple of months) and while we had the dry spell it didn't happen at all.

well the old girl's all tucked up for the winter - I got two of those Halfords ones and put one in the front and one in the rear. time to start saving up for a couple of projects next year. :)

Congratulations Alex - sounds like an interesting role for the club! :thumbup:

sorry to hear that mate but at least no-one was harmed.

ok thanks for the feedback guys - I'll probably buy a couple of those Halfords ones being only a fiver each.

seems to be working ok for me now.

Welcome to the club mate - that 350 looks lovely!!

ahhhaahaa what a load of misinformed crap!! all cars no matter what they are will have problems, especially due to age, but saying 'my mate had one and something went wrong' doesn't mean they're all like that! quite fun to read actually.

Does anyone use these? I just popped over to Halfrauds to get a couple but was told they don't sell them. I suspect the likes of B&Q will sell something similar albeit not necessarily suitable for vehicles.

I've decided to put mine to bed tomorrow on my day off. She really doesn't like the rain (leaky targas and a couple of electrical problems) and it takes ages to demist the windscreen (don't even bother about the boot!). So I'm getting a couple of dehumidifier bags to put in the car, dry it as much as I can, and cover it up.

Hope you have a good day mate!! :thumbup:

in that case, good work sir! :thumbup:

are you absolutely sure you know what the genuine running temp of your engine is mate? turning up the radio to hide a rattle is one thing but recalibrating a gauge to hide what could be quite a warm engine is another! :eek:

My PC is still fairly powerful so I won't be tempted to go for a PS4 for a while. Gran Turismo 7 is the game that'll tempt me!

Here in Leicester we got a fair bit of rain but not much wind. Glad I didn't take the Z to work today due to a couple of the roads being quite flooded in places.

Thanks for sharing that Dave - a great read and great photos!

Sorry to hear of your loss Gary. RIP Rosie. :(
