Filter brack it on the pish i believe.

The chassis was crusty the entire length, but has been Kurusted and Waxoyled the engtire length.

No Holes yet.

Will have to be Re-Chassied I suspect in a few years.

Had a root around as ya do and found this in the rear door pocket..

So the car has a name now.

"percy"

Ahem.

And on that note a slightly better pic of the interior after a rub over, say what you want about my exterior escapades a dirty interior is a defo no no for me!!

She has an aftermarket Radio, but its a casette.

No idea why you'd replace like for like but it does work with the steering wheel controls so not too bad..

Air con is ice cold which is a bonus.

My Little Brother and Sister(s) + Nieces and Nephews love the car.

They're fighting over the 6th and 7th seats like maniacs lol

Really hate overcast days.

Not too fond of 30c + days either.

Sunny and freezing is what I like

Anyway a quick wax innit'

Not too bad for a silver car.

Will look better in the sun

I hope

Project "shiny Shiny" lol

What a faff to change the oil!!

Why does the TD5 have 2 filters?!

One crammed under the turbo so you have to have midget hands to undo and tighten?!

And a arse under a cap?

Beats me,.

Anyway..

old.

New.

The 2nd filter's housing stripped out, because the previous idiot over tightened the bolts!!

Anyway a trip to Hereford metal fab and bolts got me some new bolts and I'm back in business!!

Yippie!!

Took her to dinemore woods,

She's going back to the garage I purchased her off, to have the Front Differential replaced.

The pinion Oil seal has failed and it's making some less than Ok noises!!

Can't do it myself, too busy.

Hopefully he'll do it sharpish!!

Work carpark

She tends to avoid car park dents, as she's always left alone

Weirdly
