That's a beauty!
I can never understand how people can polish the outside of the car to within an inch of its life and under the bonnet it looks like a corroded, rusty, dog's dinner .
Indeed it is I can never understand how people can polish the outside of the car to within an inch of its life and under the bonnet it looks like a corroded, rusty, dog's dinner .
Mine is going to be the opposite soon. Everything you can't see will be new or refurbished, and the body will be looking rather s

That's very true.I can never understand how people can polish the outside of the car to within an inch of its life and under the bonnet it looks like a corroded, rusty, dog's dinner .
I've only had my Chimaera for just over two weeks but when I was looking I was often surprised by how unkempt and neglected some low mileage and supposedly pampered cars were. In particular some of the rocker covers were really grubby. I suppose you could say that it is because the cars are being used and not garage queens, but to me (and I know others may disagree) the cleanliness of the under bonnet area is a good indication as to how well the car has been maintained.
Anyway, here's mine. Not at the same standard as others but by no means a disgrace.

Helped Tuscandanni with some simple checks on his rough running Tuscan.
Other than some poor vacuum hoses / connections think it just needs a service. TBs were all pulling similar amounts of 'air' on the syncronometer. Connections all seemed to be fine.
Didn't hook it up to the computer as I haven't done it before and would rather learn on my car.
