The Car (and jeep)

[steve_earwig]

If you think that's bad, there's a box it fits in to, it just says "box" so I thought it was just a box - £1,653.07 So presumably the display is just that.

Black cornelie, alu brunito or lion grey? Does it matter? Black Cornholio is D9 only, Alu Brunhilda is also on some 307 (A7)s and Lying Grey is D9 coupé only. None of them made it on to any Citroen

is that to do with the colour, it doensnt really matter since ill repaint the panel the colour of my dash.
but £1.6k for outdated technology youd have to be mad, even £300 for the full sat nav kit is mad, why cant peugeot dealers drop the price of these parts who would actually buy a £300 single colour dot matrix display?

Because some people like the boxes with the Heraldic Lions and the Chevrons printed on them ... ... they're even willing to pay extra for the privilege!

i like the box but that one i missed had the box and could have been got at £5

[FarmerPug]

still waiting for this tigerseal to come, them door seals were in the box and didnt really work, so at the moment, each door is closed with a fleece on the seals, and the car is kept in the shed at night with this on:

the things done to keep a car clean eh, thankfully the fleeces soak up the damp before it gets near any carpets, but this procedure is bleeding annoying because then they need to be tumble dried.

also this white heater is quite good on the fog lights:


the fog comes back very quick once the lights are put on i think i need to take the bulb out and do this.

With the car being perfect in every single respect theres nothing to discuss. The jeeps at a mechanics with the roof badly put on to get the thing running. So there isnt much to do, so ive turned my attention to fixing up the shed, its important to note my shed was badly rotten when i got it, it got fixed up and i paneled the inside with chipwood which was a mistake as it goes into mush with the damp, i had a leak in one corner which was causing this:

out came all the fixtures:

off with the chipwood panel:

very damp:


kicked all them old panels out:

got some thick marine plywood, cut it to size screwed it into place and it was done:

all done within an hour, because the rain was coming. Wood is so much easier to use than all the oddly shaped clips you get in a car.

excellent stuff,
ive got my sheds /work shop to do shortly,
im using plaster board and loft insulation tho its all brick built cold and damp walls,
hopefully some studded walls and plasterd up after will keep some heat in,

[FarmerPug]

A brick shed, that would be a luxury item.
I made the mistake of not insulating mine when i paneled the inside of it, but one of them blow heaters gets it nice and warm in about 5 minuites.

yup its luxury to have but this time of year i avoid using it .. its propper brass monkeys in there eveybit of warmth disapears in minutes, ive got central heating in there but its a waste of money it being on no effect from it,
im going to make a log burner me thinks and get the place roasting hot

[FarmerPug]

my small shed then had the advantage of being easy to heat then.
I had a super ser in it for a while, put it on and it got so warm you couldnt sit in it.

insulate the roof mate ready for next winter
thats where all the heat will go,

2 rolls of loft insulation and some ply board sheets does the trick,

£3 a roll at the moment at B&q

Plywood seems like a bit of overkill for a shed but it would soon turn into Spiderland, not to mention holding dust so you'd get showered with the stuff every time you moved in there. The alternative is sheets of polystyrene but I'm not sure what sort of glue you'd need as they all seem to melt the stuff.

[FarmerPug]

id use plywood if i had to start over, its much stronger and doesnt weaken as bad as chipwood. The reason i panel the shed, is that you can then put stuff on the walls.

[steve_earwig]

Do you put stuff on the ceiling though?
