It's been a long while since I've been in here... there are many stories to tell and reasons for the absence but the biggest of which is that I've now moved from Leeds to London!! I'm living in Streatham (so SW16) and am in need of some pointers to find a good garage!!
Car's due Its 60k...
Got my MOT due on the 10th and have two broken front springs and a leaking shock... joy of joys!?!
quote to replace with original parts by RS Murray in Leeds is £109.16 for each spring and £47.23 for a shock...
So
£218.32 - 2xsprings
£94.46 - shock
£265.55 + V.A.T.
then an hours...
So I head out to the car this morning and I see a 4-5" length off the bottom of my NS front suspension coil sitting on the floor... !?!
Three things...
Firstly... can I still drive the car as am due to be driving from Leeds back to London on saturday and need it for work today... my guess is...
Hey there CS peeps... I've managed to get crack in my standard 172 Cup exhaust and need to see if I can get it sheathed of patched or something before the weekend... anybody got any advise on where to go!?!
Can't afford a replacement til next month really!?!
Waved from my 172 Cup so thought I'd see if you were in here... thought I could see a CS sticker in your rear window from my mirrors... just thought I'd say hi!?!
Passed you tonight about 18:30 I was driving out from the Boys' Grammer roundabout as you were driving in... tried to flash you but not sure I was quick enough... just wanted to say HI!!
Was coming back up the M1 today from M42 to Leeds and was passed by a mint lookin F1 M19 NAW i think... and a mint looking Willy 2 I think N775 RKN... think the reg's are right!?!
Didn't try to say hello as was a passenger in my friends focus so would have made little sense... but both cars...
Does anyone know if you can get some kind of adapter to get the satelite controls to work with alpine head units... !?!
I prefer my Alpine unit but might return to the original stereo as like the handyness of the stalk too much!!
Hey there fellow Clio peeps... I've just managed to get my hands on a '53 plate 172 cup... and LOVE IT!!!
Thought I'd come join the community and say hello so come say hello back as would make me feel very welcome... !!!
