Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2003 E320 & 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI

Boshed on the passenger side tie rod. Wasn't difficult at all. Got both sides to do on the Synergie when I can be arsed, so appreciate the tool review. You don't need one.

Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2003 E320 & 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI

Three wheeled Reliants are risible dogshit and the lowest common denominator of motoring. Almost 30 years ago I worked at a multi franchise dealership and the Plastic Pig was still being made, driven by old farts and odd blokes you wouldn't leave your children with. Absolutely awful to drive as well...

What does Jaguar stand for in the minds of the buying public?

Re: What did you do today?

Been driving this quite a bit lately. I thought I'd hate it but it's actually quite good. Decent visibility, piss easy to park, very refined, quite a few toys. It's petrol too. She paid £10k for it about 8 months ago with 22k miles on. Now on 29k. The only downside is the piss poor sized petrol tan...

Until the comfort access module fails and the car won't start. If it's like a modern-ish BMW you can just unplug it.
