THE_Liam - Diablo Phase 2 DT - To break, sell or crack on?

[Danny2009]

Sort it out Liam not expensive jobs if your struggling you can always pop over to mine and I'll give you a hand glad the clocks sorted you out

[THE_Liam]

All that stuff just sounds standard wear and tear. Get it sorted out and it'll be all good again. You won't get motoring any cheaper than that and a new car may still be fecked.

This is what I'm trying to convince myself. I mean I quite fancied a HDI having had 4 306s all with XUDs, but no matter how much more economical a HDI is, when it's fuel is £1.37 a litre and the fuel for an XUD is 75p a litre (£14.99 for 20 litres at Costco just now), the extra 5mpg or so a HDI can manage won't make up the difference...

Sound like some of the issues with my car Liam...drive it on son

Can't drive it much longer like this, it pisses me off every time I drive it but I don't have the time or skill to sort it all out, and the money it would cost would be more than the cars worth...

Also sounds a lot like my car! I also echo the cries of "stick with it", better the devil you know! That's how I see it anyway, hence I've not chopped mine in yet.

Yours is far nicer than mine though, hence my drunken comment outside the pub at FCS

I may well take you up on that Danny. Remember what Piggy did when he couldn't get the 2.1 finished? I'm thinking I might put up a thread to see if people would be interested in a "help Liam fix his car" meet

[Piggy]

May I add I had emergency surgery!!

But if you not too far Im game to return the kama

[Niall]

Depending on when it is and if you will put me up, ill head up and I'm sure a few of the other london lot will join me

[Danny2009]

Let me know mate I can sort everything on that list be silly to break it really. The money you have savd in fuel won't come near to how much it would be to repair

[zx_volcane]

They're not completely hellish jobs

Just need a little bit of tlc, crack on and sort it out

F*cking hell lads I didn't expect anyone that far away would be willing to come! I'm sure I can sort out a spare room and a tour of some of Leeds's finest watering holes if I do it!

Thanks mate

Problem is mate, I have very little time at the moment, a tiny driveway, I'm missing a lot of tools that I need and I'm short of cash

Never buy a house lads. Owned the twat 2 years, haven't had spare brass since

[karl1989]

I'll pop over

[Grant]

Liam. Count me in. Take me to a bar where I can buy a pint of your finest silty ale and provide a roof for me to sleep under and I'll be there!

Don't give up. I did before and wish I never did

[THE_Liam]

Cheers lads. I'll price up the parts

[Alee83]

It would make for a great meet, I would pop along for any assistance needed...!

[Dum-Dum]

Liam why don't you come down here for your car fixing meet, just wait till I've got a 4 day weekend.

That way everyone else is closer and I've got a driveway and lots of tools.

[WiNgNuTz]

Yeah, then i could come along as well!

[Piggy]

I could make it to Dumdums

[Niall]

Would be easier for me lol

[Dum-Dum]

Ive got a BBQ and loads of off road parking as anyone whos been to mine knows. Space to camp too

[Grant]

Keen for that!

[Dum-Dum]

Farm shop down the road for burgers

[Grant]

This just gets better and better. Get it done Liam! Then i can swap one of my 4 day weekends too!

[Dum-Dum]

I've just looked and I dont have a 4 day weekend that I'm here till march as I'm off on holiday for the ones in january/feburary and that uses up the last of my leave.

[THE_Liam]

Cheers guys, I'm genuinely chuffed with how many of you are offering to help, that's the great thing about this place! I'm gonna price up the parts and see how much it'll cost me and when I can do it, been made a pretty good offer for the labour doing, just need to source bits like springs and dampers (because I may as well have some lows if the suspensions getting rebuilt) and a new beam. I've just been out for a little run in it and although it's not driving great at the moment I still love it

[Dum-Dum]

Realised I'm off the 10th, 11th and 12th (fri, sat, sun) of this month if you want

[THE_Liam]

Thanks for the offer pal but looks like Dannys gonna do it. Means a lot though

[Sambarker]

Always welcome at mine mate, I've got that ph2 that can be raped for parts if your stuck for owt

[THE_Liam]

Any lowering springs pal? How's the screen on that phase 2? Nasty chip in mine...

[Danny2009]

Karl's got some springs Liam let me know when your after it doing and ill book you in

[karl1989]

Springs are sat in my boot

[Sambarker]

Any lowering springs pal? How's the screen on that phase 2? Nasty chip in mine...

Got some 205 lowering springs

Screen good but is the auto wiper type if that makes any difference

[THE_Liam]

Don't think it does mate. Have you ever changed a screen? Is it difficult?

[Grant]

If you do change the screen, lemme know how you get on need to do mine haha
