[no2lurch]

thought i'd start a thread on the subject if what are peoples imediate plans for their cars in terms of jobs to be done.

i got a busy sunday planned...

remove vinyls
remove pug and 406 badges
fit cold air feed after removing the resonator
shorten gear lever

Go to a paint shop see if I can get matching paint, patch up the unmatching paint around the door edges, scrapes etc.

With this matching paint paint the rear bootlip spooiler and fit.

Investigate the exhaust brackets around the new cat, see if I can stop the vibration. Some brass coloured bracket removal usually helps according to PugCentral

Service due soon

Timing belt due

"Non smoking" interior

Fit front foglight

New lower door seals

my wife is expecting our 3rd child!

Congratulations! (or commiserations, depending on your views on a good night's sleep... )

For the 308 - fit the GT spoiler and rear bumper that have been cluttering up my conservatory for a while.

For the 407 - wait til my GP says I can drive again then, er, drive it a bit. Then, when the 508 comes out, buy one of those.

Congratulations! (or commiserations, depending on your views on a good night's sleep... )

Congrats indeed, very good

The only plans I have for the Volvo are to replace 3 tyres after 10K at a cost in the region of £420.00 [/wearing off novelty]
