Hi all..
My poor ole 24v has been sat in her parked spot in the field for the last 2 and a half months... and we've had some rain and wind.. So today, I took off my blind fold to her, went armed with a battery, plonked it on, turned the key and click.. the useual starter click then 3 more times, then the starter decided to turn and first turn vRROOOOMMM off she went, like a 2 year old car! 118k starts first time, what more can I ask, I do miss her on the road, and come august she's been sitting a year off the road. So I think I'm gonna start looking at getting her all sorted to have another 6 months use... Exhaust leaks, gearbox swap, rear cill welding and possibly 2 tyres and that should do her   Happy driving while we can (just) still afford it everyone Rgds C -------------------- 1993 K Reg 3.0 V6 12 Valve Auto (Green) LPG S1.5 SORNd

Always satisfying to hear them fire up after a long period at rest isn't it Paul!
I remember the same with my old 2.0 when it had been sitting around for ages, always felt good anyway  Get her back on the go! Ciarán -------------------- '95 XM 2.1TD VSX Hatch: RP 6429. Rare green ;-)

She sure will be, its been NEARLY a year since the last tax ran out, so, this summer (if we get one) she'll be all prepared!

Wish mine would start
 Wish i had time to try and make it start at the moment!! I built the fault code reader the other day and the only fault that i got from it was the MAF sensor which i knew about anyway. Will try and have a look into it again next week when I return from Leeds for the 5th week running! Paul, I'll need to try and come down n have a catch up once everything calms down again with work etc etc. Regards David. -------------------- 1990 V6 SEi Auto - breaking for spares.
