Re: Your fleet running reports


Zoe due the eight year/80k miles service. According to the Renault booking service it "includes cabin air filter, brake fluid change", for which they would like £809.something. :shock:

Elvington airfield

A consultation is to be launched to build over 3000 houses on Elvington airfield

It'll be a shame if it brings to an end the motorsport events held there although I haven't seen trackdays advertised there for ages. Do they still take place? Top speed runs along the runway seem to be the main thing ...

Re: Today’s want

I think mine was 5 or 6 years old when I bought it and surprisingly it was ok. Probably a bit of rose tinting going on as it did give me a few issues but I loved it

Delayed start, it's persisiting it down

Re: Your fleet running reports

I’ve had the V60 in with Volvo for a service today and was bracing myself for “we recommend new discs and pads sir”. Amazingly they reported the pads only 10% worn but then blotted their copybook by declaring the front tyres were 30% worn. They were new a couple of weeks ago and I’ve done less than ...

Small detail added to the Caterham



How you doing with it another month in? 8-)

It's got a cop motor, cop tyres, cop suspension

Cancelled police order apparently, and I quote

"They are an unusual cancelled Police order spec with delivery miles, registered end of July 26:
