[damien 22 1 Cars]

really need something with some back doors because of the kids and I want to keep it to less than 4 figures if possible.

[Jemehan 3 1 Cars]

well i am selling my Honda Accord 20L IS. thats a 4door saloon! lol. happy to let that go for under 1k! have to get shot of it as once 205 on the road can only have one car as will be moving back in with the rents after splitting with the GF. I have got to get the pug booked in MOT on thursday, recon itll fail but question is on what :S cant be too much. she is being a little stroppy atm, hope she packs her ideas up before thursday! i miss pug driving!

[damien 22 1 Cars]

got my eyes set on a mi16 or a st24, even toyed with the idea of a 406 v6.

i want something sporty n fun but still be used to get the kids round

[Jemehan 3 1 Cars]

Accord prob not the best then.

where did you go?

 

i got a wobbly headlight too so i might have to sort that out, new set of indicators should do it.

 

if you need a brake pipe flaring tool let me know?,i dunno how well it works as i brought it but never used it and it was only cheapo

threeways at the top of charing hill there normaly pretty good but the one of the testers is bit of a nob and that who did mine, dans was after mine

 

I sorted my headlight with cable ties

 

cheers for the offer I've hopefully got someone coming round tomorrow to do the brake lines I'm trying to get them done to get it back up there for Saturday

 

How's yours coming along now?

[pugpete1108 62 1 Cars]

its in the same state as it was last time you asked

 

its all about the cash at the mo but i have just had a touch as my missus has a crash in the xsara the other day (not her fault) and they have written it off to the tune of 2300 notes

 

i doubt it will be done by pugfest still but you never know??

sorted all the knocks etc out?

 

thats pretty lucky that you got the other xsara then?

yeah just a bit and secretly i fancied keeping the other one anyway.

 

i think i have sorted the knocks out mate, i have replaced both drop links and tre's, fitted all new cv gaiters with plenty of grease and even fitted new ball joint rubbers with new grease. i also sorted the arb mount bolt that was missing and retightened every bolt on the subframe and rack.

 

i still have to weld up the exhaust and weld a bracket in the bay for the top coolant hoses on the bulkhead but i need to get i to my house first.

 

might have to be a stealthy night time move i think

[Jemehan 3 1 Cars]

[james_pug 26 1 Cars]

depends on you mate i suppose, or should i say your missus .

 

earlier the better really but i dont suppose there is much rush as long as we have time to get some grub and a few beers when we get there

[damien 22 1 Cars]

arrivel time at the hotel is after 2pm so we cant leave too soon.

shes got the day off so can leave when ever, im unsure how long the jorney is i guess about 3 hours to the hotel so leaving around 1ish?

[pugpete1108 62 1 Cars]

google maps say 2hrs58mins so with us trundling along at 60 stopping every 20mins as i have overheated we should be there by 10pm

 

1 sounds good though.

 

i may have run into a problem with the pug though, i got issues with the indicators on the pass side flashing too fast?? all the earths and the bulbs are ok but its doing my head in and pretty sure it will fail the mot on this.

got the right bulbs in? Seems pretty weird, I've got all my rear brake lines changed today and a bush changed in a wishbone so it's all ready for a retest when I've got some time to take it

[pugpete1108 62 1 Cars]

turns out it was missmatched bulbs, weird.

 

cant get the welding done this week so will be in for the mot next week i guess maybe monday or tuesday
