SO back in a 306 again. Will you be looking after this one and not using it as a deer plow? Wink

Yeah, then the clutch got roasted. Now it's on a stage 2 limited torque type thing.

Wasn't the fuel pump forever cutting out under heavy load? Throwing up lights on the dash?

Ahahahahahaha it's mine again!!!

After being returned to Oxfordshire for a long overdue clean (thnx bois x), I've repicked it up and its gone in for an MOT this morning, ready to completely ruin it with Nato Sand Paint and silly roof racks and maybe some camo net. Like my old Pissrat. But Sand.

Aside from the obvious, is that just the camera angle or is it that badly cambered?

LOLchips.

It had a grinding noise on the rear since I re-collected it.

The note on the MOT was 'Rear Pads worn below 1.5mm' - Suppose he's not wrong.

I've since fitted actual brake pads and made a retaining bar thing out of an old VIN plate I had kicking around riveted to the slam panel.

And it's camera angle, the beam isn't THAT f*cked!

Sooo I've done LOADS.

Dog guard, tow bar, picking up some Nimrods off Piggy tonight. I've even cleaned it.

I actually love this car. 41.9mpg average on the last tank - and I drive like a lady garden (as I'm sure Ru dog will agree with)
