Get ready for the rush of.. "have you one of these on it and can I buy it.."..It's not a keeper, it's going for a mot on Tuesday and I'll either sort any issues and sell it on or if it bombs out strip it and weigh the rest in

Went down to see @martyuk. Marty has got my foglights working! Corroded connectors, a dodgy earth wire (replaced) and a cloned BECM later and he's sorted it all. Cracking stuff. And as a bonus I now have a spare BECM with all my settings in case the current one goes.
Another bonus: I got to see the Faultmate in action. What a marvellous bit of kit that is. Fascinating as always listening to Marty explain the inner workings. Great day. Pity I was so hung-over from last night!

That is only what you bought it for. If you decide to keep it, it is nowhere near what you will have paid for itJust bought a p38 for £200

Not today but yesterday, I cleaned and polished all the black bits. If today stays dry , I will do the gold bits. Problem with these vehicles us they take two to three days to clean properly, and by the time you finish , it's time to start again.
Dropped the saner half off at work before making the pilgrimage back to work before spending 4 months with penguins. 2 things I learnt, 1, it appears at least one of my speakers have blown. 2, that the auto cutoff on Sainsbury's pumps don't always work. I ended up splashing about £3 worth of derv on the ground before I realised. Probably also my own fault for not watching what was happening, as I was looking off into space waiting for her to fill from empty. Just got to throw on the trickle charger and tuck her up outside the workshop. Wanted to park her inside the workshop, but I think someone would get upset with me taking up one of the bays for 4 months.
Then when its all polished ..and clean and shiney..something breaks...!!!! Ask me how I ####ing know. Aaaagh

It will be. It's going for its mot tomorrow and I know it'll fail. I never noticed that the abs and airbag light was on when I paid for itThat is only what you bought it for. If you decide to keep it, it is nowhere near what you will have paid for it
My three options are
If it bombs I'll remove the cat, wheels, battery and a couple of other bits and weigh the rest in
Stick it on eBay with a 400 quid start price
Sort the problems and re mot it and then stick it on eBay.
Got to say though it's comfier than my discovery

Only if you get shot of it now, all other options will lead to a new lifestyle, enjoyed by RR owners.................broke

At the mo it owes my about 260 quid so scrapping it will make me money
I'll have a look on ebay and see what parts are worth removing before I weigh it in though

You rescued her, you're responsible for her nowDon't go getting sentimental about it
I'm with Grrrrrr.. Too many are going to scrap..Don't go getting sentimental about it
You'll be sorry when the back end of the Disco rots off and the RR is still solid in the scrappers
