2024 Volvo EX30 (regretful spec)

Why so Pete? - on my list of possible choices to add the fleet, so interested by your thoughts. Keith

They seemed to have sent it to Pete for software testing. The brakes switching the radio off is novel but not ideal for a radio 4 fanatic.

2000 Elise Sport 160 - still in bits, as you'd expect. Too many projects.
2018 Fairlight Secan daily - haven't owned a car since I sold the Evora in August last year, city life.

All for this, it would great to revitalise. I'm not sure it's the use case for Whats App groups though. If there are limited numbers that we would have to work around m, that wouldn't be great. A while back I suggested Discord and shared a structure I had built (in 20 minutes) in discord that mimic...

Discord for this kinda thing surely.

I went to the Maranello museum 2 years ago. Like you, was pretty disappointed. Didn't start long and headed up to the newer one in Modena; it's much better. Almost went back a couple of weeks ago but didn't quite have the time to for it in. Modena is a great city to visit too. Thanks for the info on...

Make sure you go to the museum in Modena as well, it's far better.

Also worth checking all the HT system if there's no spark. I had bother various times with the dizzy cap & rotor arm and a dodgy set of brand new Bosch leads.

And I'd check the fuel shut off valve.

Think it's unlikely CV grease will have affected the coil tbh.

What symptoms do you have? Is it turning over and not firing? Have you checked for a spark?

It ticked over 79k a few weeks ago, has a fresh year’s MOT (valid unytil July 31st) and has had quite a few of the usual jobs done since I picked it up last year* and by th...

E S P powder coating behind Partick Thistle if you can cross the river . I've had car wheels, Harley wheels, and a Mercian bike all done .

Heard over the weekend they're very good

Dont use wheel Fusion at Darnley or P&J at Thornliebank.

Kenny used a place in EK that were really good, think this was it https://maps.app.goo.gl/ki3MfVJ2AVHK7Am79

063, make sure it has a good handle.

That'll be me

What were you in?

I guess a silver Sport 160.

As mentioned in the winter tyre thread, we’re one less member of the Skoda appreciation society now. Our Octavia vRS which we bought new in April 2011 died on Feb 22. High pressure fuel pump disintegrated which left it beyond economical repair. Had to find a replacement in a hurry and since I now h...
