Finally changed the oil on the Pugster of shame, aka Wug the Pug, with help from Dead Eye. Thanks Dead Eye!  :D

The job took twice as long when we found that Wug, being French, had a stupid square sump bolt. And none of Dead Eyes' tools fit. So, all aboard the Thou for a trip to Halfords. I'd forgotten the pleasures of cold ankles, and frozen gonads!  :lol :lol

rode 70 miles today practising for my Rospa test, kept to all speed limits and had to wave a few lads through the bends while keeping to 30 in a 30.......they probably thought "WTF?" :lol

car passed its mot !!
 
mark 4 Golf Gti, 214,000 miles, only advisory was a near limit f/n/s tyre getting low (new one being fitted tomorow ),the emmisions were lower than on newer,less milage cars according to the examiner. just shows that regular oil changes and good oil is the way to go imho.
 
only down side is that i need to get some minor rust issues sorted,as id hate to lose a great car,after looking after everything else,by ignoring the rust.

Its a 2006 Aixaim 751, I have no car license but because I passed my test in the dark ages I have the B1 entitlement which is Quadricycle. These cars are ali chassised and plastic bodied and wiegh less than 450kg which means under uk law they are not a car they are a quad thus falling under the B1 catagory.

I have had a couple of older diesel ones which quite frankly shit, slow (40-50 MPH), noisy and a great big pile of poo! This is a quite rare petrol version quite is a lot quieter, and considerably faster (70 +). I got it for a bargain basement price, so much so that when I popped into my local dealer to get a new mirror glass for it he asked me how much I paid for it and when I told him he spat his coffee out and called me a very rude word!. So no getting cold for me this winter!...... Deefer is a happy, happy bunny

So you get a good heater as well :).I've driven a similar,all electric,vehicle a few times several years ago.It was like a van type version.Also classed as a quadracycle.

The older ones seemed to have heater settings that are permanently set to dry your eyeballs out even in summer, this one seems to work really well. The one thing with all of the Aixams I have owned is the heaters are always get fecking hot!

Fun as it is - why not get a car licence?  You could take on Christ-Oh's Peugeot then and fix the things he's broken?

But good luck with the Fazer transplant into the older one - it'll be interesting to see how it performs.

Finally got round to continuing the work on the ZS engine. No pictures today though :(

Sorted out replacing the link belts on the rear of the engine, then set about the front. Old belt off, pulleys replaced, water pump replaced and then attempt to fit the front belt. Took me a while and I thought I had it, but I turned the engine through one entire cycle (720 degrees at the crank) and the timing marks were out... looks like I did something wrong and the belt slipped :( So removed the tension and the belt and figure I'll have another crack at it another time as it's too dark outside now

Back home this afternoon a little earlier than usual so as there was some light left I cracked on again with seeing if I could get the front timing belt sorted. 20 minutes later and its all timed up correctly and reassembly has begun :D

I have a new clutch kit arriving in the next day or two, but that's a piss easy job. Need to re-attach a few covers, try to find a few lost bolts I've left somewhere and then offer the engine back up the car.

Once that is done, clean up the new gearbox and reinstall and then the might ZS should be back on the road :D

When you're pisssi g about u derneath the car do you ever think ih shit the chassis is a bit rotten or whatever......not saying that it is but genuinely curious coz on my old golf.....well it wasnt bad bad....but it wasnt good either....the ZS is slightly more modern......where were those MG's manufactured and how thick is the metal and how dothe floor pans and sills look up clise and personal.


Before i got my type-r i had a few grand saved up and was gonna get a big bore performance engine from some place in Sommereset fitted but i buckled nd went for new car............but im always windering what if.......and will my modern made car stand the test of time...




Any thoughts?
