Thanks George,

I never thought she would ! but her's will have to be an auto box , so either diesel, or may push the boat out and look or a V6, thats my preferance anyway, ,

Just got to get rid of the Megane 1st,

Wish I hadn't sold it! (Only kidding) Nice one. It really does photograph well. The wheels look like they've come up really well. Any particular refurbishment done on them?

I've done a couple of long trips in my XM four people with their luggage and it is a consummate cruiser - tricky to keep within the speed limit on motorways though

Hi Phil.

Yes it's not come up bad at all, i'm really pleased with it.

Iv'e just bougth some Maguires polish for it, really good stuff !

The wheels , iv'e only cleaned them up , no referb at the moment, althought the n/s front could do with some attention,

I would like to get some ' are thet called ' jellyfish alloys, or wobblely web , or something like that, for it,

But over all , love the car, got to get cambelt done , as you know most of the history is in French, i'm bad enough at English , let alone French
also think new set of HT leads 'n' plugs, they look like theyv'e been in there a while..

Oh, and if you did end up with the webby wheels, can I have first dibs on your existing set?

Just a few things still to do, Got to get the manifold sorted, she sounds a bit like a Massey Ferguson on start up , but soon quitens down after a couple on minutes
Iv'e got to visit FCF, there's a member on there not far from me with a workshop, not sure if hel'l be interested in doing it , if not il'l get my local guy to give me a price, that is not something i would do , iv'e not got a big enough tool box yet ! !!,
I did have a look at it , but there is a bolt low down on the heat shield, think it's best done off ramps .
