It's this kind of thread that keeps my attention

Time to prime the rocker cover



Panda joined by an old friend that has been languishing in the corner for too long

Excellent work on the Panda lump there TP, but you haven't an enemy, have you?

This one's staying, it has work to do as a loan car

When someone complains about it you simply show them the 'before' pictures?

Sounds about right

Waiting on a rocker cover gasket and it'll be time to start putting the engine back together

Still in a pile of bits. I've found myself wanting a small petrol runaround recently though so that might be enough to get my finger out and get on with it!

MX5 has working power steering for the first time in a while - I need someone to weld it up now!

PM'd you

Panda is still in bits but just to convince you that I haven't become any more sane recently meet the newest member of the fleet



Yes it's a 1.9 dci, yes it's done some miles and yes it has some of the usual 1.9dci problems

[eltax91]

Oh FFS. For the love of god WHY.

[Toaster Pilot]

to be fair it was cheap, doesn't run THAT badly and has a few months MOT

EGR valve was more carbon than metal so I'm hoping it'll be the cause of the occasional running problems

Doesn't answer the 'why' though does it?
