What did you do today?

It's a good motor with full history. All belts and stuff done. Flies as well.

I know, I just have no need of another.

Hoping to change the spring on the alfa

I'd change the weather to spring first.

I believe the 'new' Discoveries (actually up to 10 years or more old now) with the TDV6 fail in equally spectacular manner. Engines grenading are one element of other people's misfortune I very conspicuously laugh at.

The engine is some PSA junk, also used in some Jags. On the Disco Very, the body has to be lifted off the chassis to replace the turbos. Just rubbish.

This is common. They either just snap or they snap as they seize. This is due to the main bearing shells turning in the block and blocking the oil way. Proper shite. It is matched by the Subaru boxer diesel, an engine so bad it is unfit for purpose.

[mercrocker]

Jeez, that's rubbish......

[Hooli]

Ahh quality modern cars, that's why we should all buy them rather than old ones that breakdown.

50 miles round the Forest in the Cowley today. Main roads full of twats but once off into the B roads and beyond it was nice, some of the heathland bits were deserted. Very nice for the soul and prepared me for tomorrow - not a day I relish, to be honest. Boxing day car meet is cancelled owing to a strange virus that only infects people doing things they enjoy so it's beer, pork products and loud rock and roll for the foreseeable few days......

That sounds ideal. It's too cold to do much outside now anyway before your fingers end up going numb.
