Ah, but what a well-fettled mistress!GT still up on stilts awaiting a refurbished alloy.
Collected the 360 from AV this afternoon after some substantial work:
-Big service, all ancillary belts and fluids, plus cam belts and pulley replacements
-replace leaking rear main seal (gearbox off - 10 hours)
-renew thermostat, heater control valve and water pump hose
-install CS heat shield to rear deck lid
-remove entire dashboard and replace defroster vent covers and side vents, refit.
-renew bulbs in HVAC control panel and window switches
-replace starter motor terminal cover
-replace exhaust gaskets
-replace oil pressure sensor
Think that was it..
It’s no wonder Mrs Bebs calls her the mistress..
Indeed… I do try.Ah, but what a well-fettled mistress!
If you're gonna have a mistress, Brian, make it count.
Not good, but 'good'.Agreed the total loss valuation for mine at £35,279. Not bad having paid £36,744 for it in January 2021.
Yeah, yeah they all say that, so you buy more.Old - but how old? - Apparently after a couple of years the chemicals start to degrade, or something like that - still if it works........
Is that really how that saying goes?!? No wonder...Waste not, want not.
Great run out in what seemed like spring/summer weather, 21 degrees.New, straight & repainted front Neptune is back on the GT.
Will take it for a spin this morning to Crawley to drop off a soundbar that needs a repair. Seems a good excuse to me anyway…
The prison or country house/conference venue just off the M5?Previous weekend I took the rear bumper off and installed my Skoda £12.99 parking sensor, worked a treat. Gave it all a nice clean and even documented the process for my YT channel. Then on Satursday just gone went for a breakfast meet up at Eastwood Park with some other Italian models. Small event due to not being able to park on the lawn due to moisture, lots of moisture. Had a nice trip back through the Costwolds and even up the "w". Stopped for a spot of lunch in Kemble, before returning home. Was good to hear that exhaust note again.
Tomorrow a drive to Ross On wye for some rear tyres to be installed.
