Horriffic Servicing bill was worth it!

[Barrrrrrnacle]

OK, so the final bill was £1257.71 but my car feels like new and my big Lotus grin has returned.

It just feels so planted and comfortable with all of the rattles and squeeks removed. The pedals all feel completely different:

- The clutch is tighter than a Scottish tourniquet, it bites much lower and much more solidly.
- The brakes are firmer than ever thanks to new fluid and discs although I can't try them out properly until they're bedded in
- All of the accelerator pedal is now useful - whereas before then first 10% of travel did nothing, and the last 50% of push made the clutch slip.

The doors no longer squeak, it doesn't leave coolant on the garage floor and the rear suspension doesn't knock. All in all a different car.

A big thumbs up must go to Sinclaire's for doing such a fine job, throwing in the geometry setup for free AND giving me a 10% discount for being an active member of SELOC. Once I've cleared my credit card I will start saving for my first big upgrade: Sports Suspension.

Have I missed something here?

Is that really you Bonce? why the change of name?

I preferred the old one.

Glad to hear the car is sorted.

I sold my house this morning so have just splashed out on the Eliseparts stainless sports exhaust.

Here comes p155ed off neighbours

Ahoy there! The name change is only for today, see here: www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=58263&f=23&h=0

You sold your house for an exhaust? There's dedication!

Just looked on general gassing and remembered it was national talk like a pirate day.

For my contribution:

Why did the pirate cabin boy flush the toilet?

Because he found the Captains log.
