Midnight blue.

2.5 auto. 125k. Overheated on the way home. Topped up with water. Seems ok now.
Misses thought I was joking. Didn't find it funny when I got it back.

Hope it warms up soon.

Sheds cold.

You is a glutton for it matey

Fantastic news matey!

That made me chuckle! Hopefully the car isn't too problematic x

Oh Great, more Vis motors......

Think you will be sleeping in that shed for a while yet!

I'm hoping it's not for spares just yet mate. Plus, once she had water in, my mate left me for dust on the journey back, so thinking they might be ok.

Not going well.

Found the thermostat needs replacing, which isn't too bad.

MOT failed O/S coil spring as it was broken. Don't know how they missed the fact the N/S one is aswell.

Also just phoned Adrian Flux, my current insurers, to quote on the 75.

After quoting £330 fully comp, to insure a Volvo C70 2.3 T5 ( 250bhp ) the other week that I had my eye on, they couldn't find a competitive quote fully comp for the 75, so came up with £514 TPFT instead! That's over £100 more than my ZT-T190.

Reason, it's a lower value vehicle. Mental!

Rear springs aren't too bad. The shocks aren't inside them so no dodgy deals with spring compressors going on. Not stupidly expensive either.

For the insurance, just shop around. No idea why but there are big variations. I'm moving to admiral for my cars, and three of the four are significantly cheaper, including the 75s. The 45 is significantly higher than the current insurer, but overall the whole package saves me something like 25%.

Unfortunately it's both front springs.

Just need to make it worth more, then it'll be cheaper to insure.
