Re: Things to do
1) Insure the car
2) Tax it
3) Fill it up
4) Give it a damn good clean
5) Replace glow-plugs
6) Acquire GLX 15" alloy to replace broken one
But most importantly, get a better paid job to pay for the above!!

Re: Things to do
Don't I know it.. the last downpipe/cat/flexi lasted about a year before it started to fail, I've hung on and on mainly because there was always something else needed doing and next year I will finally have to bite the bullet and do something about it as several regulars have commented on my car started to sound "throaty"Welly wrote:S'funny (no it's not really) but through 3 years of no-one mentioning these things the FIRST thing I'd say to anyone now with a HDi is "check the bottom mount and the eggsauce flexi" - seems to be a bit of a theme now.
Next on the agenda would be the radiator fan motor, followed by the annoying clonk on the front d/s when I brake, accelerate and go over the numerous potholes in this town. I'm hoping it's just a wishbone bush but seeing as it seemed to appear after the gearbox was changed I'm praying it's not the driveshaft
Then the loud clonking on the passenger side rear when I go over bumps. Again I hope it's a bush and not the coil spring
Then removing and cleaning the EGR valve. Incidentally I had an "interesting" fault on the car last night coming up the hill to J22 M1. I'd set the cruise control to 70 so I was surprised when the speedo needle dropped to under 60, then 50 and I had to knock it off and attempt to pick up speed. Only it took about 5 minutes to get it back up to 70
