Car share given the distance & cost would be a clever idea. Most insurers will allow 3rd party only if you have your own fully comp. policy.

I'm trying to, but 95% of my driving is trying to squeeze the maximium mpg out of my diesel, but then I need to put a different head on when I drive the T5 and squeeze the minimum mpg out of my petrol!

The pod arrived today mate, but its the wrong one and has come with a boost gauge as well(£44.95), but I only paid £9.95. Now me being Mr Honest has told them that they've sent me the wrong parcel, but asked them to get the pod here for Friday and I'll send the gauge/pod back. Too honest?

Possibly doing the doors mate. I think we'll leave the wing this time, unless Daza-B fancies having a crack at that as well. I'm thinking 11'ish to be in Morecambe, if Dazzer's OK with that.

Absolutely pi--ing down here at Home, and Morecambe is 40 miles away, so I just hope the weather is better over there for today's 'mini meet'. Putting new back doors on the p1 V70 T5.
Post 464340 by daza-b on 2012-02-18 18:35:24
Well the weather was much better for the meet up, but still bloody cold! managed to get a fair few bits done, new wheels on mine, many thanks to foammanmark, got the rear doors onto marks, tinted the windows...again...got the boost gauge on with i must say is a very very nice boost gauge, forgot to get pics of that, but here is a couple pics of the 3 cars, again lol:
all in all not a bad day, but we need more people to come to the next one lol, so will make a new thread shortly for next months morecambe meet, and hopefully more of us can come along :)

It hailed a bit (just before we washed my motor as that was the last one to be washed) which made it rather cold on the hands!! When we took the picys, the wind was so cold, the wind chill factor must have been about minus 5.
Got my 2 new back doors on and the boost gauge, Daza-B swapped his wheels and all cars had a good wash. So not a bad day.

Took me ages to warm up after the meet, even with the heater in the car on full, I was still cold when I got Home. Nice to have a Cumbria/Carlisle meet in the Spring/Summer, and some of our Scottish friends might make that.

Here you go! I was a little too close to fit the whole car in, but I was too cold to get out of the car by this stage! Impressed that you remembered me taking the picys. The car wash people did a fantastic job for you!!

Cheers mate. Yes you and jamie made a good job of washing it. Thanks.
My rear wheel fairly fill the arches when you see them there. No wonder they rub and that was with an empty boot apart from my sub/amp.

Least I could do for you when you fitted that gauge for me mate. Are the wheels rubbing when you just go over bumps, or more generally?
I owe you about another 10 car washes yet.

Na mate you dont owe me owt for doing it. I enjoy working on car's. Im sure ill need something one day.
They dont rub as much now since i fixed the arch liners to the top of the outer arch but they still rub over bumps and if you boot it round a corner.
