Ok so I am actualy giving updates!!!
Smoky 4×4: This has now gone to Nathan from the FSOC, he was going to just buy the old engine from the 2.0i Ghia but struggled to get up due to weather.. And that prompeted his short quest for running gear to convert his car to 4×4…. Hence 2 weeks later he cam up and drove her away to meet her maker…. Various parts will be returning to help finish the Sapphire project.
Volvo: Over £1100 worht of parts have now gone which is great. Maximum return would now be in he region of £2400 which would be wonderful but every penny is gr8 at the moment. Final stripping takes place this weekend with a view to the scrap man taking away the shell on monday….
Scorpio: Comming up to one month of ownership and I am fairly happy with the car, 1500K under the belt. One major annoyance is that it has a very poor idle. I have done a couple of things to sort this ( cleaned MAF, ISCV ) but it’s still poor. Diagnostic codes don’t show much so a bit more investigation will be needed.
