TC's V70R resurrection thread.

[Tomcat]

So 6-700 miles later and I have.. an oil leak from the turbo oil return (or somewhere around there), a leaky expansion tank cap, a rattling downpipe, a leaky exhaust (somewhere.. I can hear it sodding blowing on tickover), a buggered rear door central locking motor, a missing rear wheel centrecap and also an egg in a front tyre that was only fitted the day before.

Having just bucket loads of fun lately. Bought four part worn Vredestein's off Seb, had them fitted and then drove to Lincoln and back. On the way back I diverted through Huddersfield (dont ask) and went over an ubber fekkin massive pothole. Didn't realise till I got home that I'd lost a centre cap and also now gained an egg in the sidewall of one of my front tyres. Now ordered two brand new Yoho's to replace the two fronts with. Also had the worlds worst tyre fitter to fit them, he managed to struggle to locate four spacers, took him a good 15 minutes a wheel and he had to resort to using a sodding screwdriver to prize them into place, in the end I told him to leave the back ones, I did one of the front ones and I told him to leave the other one. I now have at least two maybe three rims with the paint all chewed up around the bolt holes, going back on Tuesday to shout at the manager.

Car is doing its bloody utmost to pee me off lately.
