MooN Posted October 2, 2025 Share Posted October 2, 2025 6 hours ago, Clive said: If I a pit, or axle stands I would do the oil & filter change myself, the oil filter is a bugger to get to, have to take wheel off and remove a panel to get to it, so it is easier to let the garage do it... I’m lucky, I have a fully equipped workshop and lifts etc at work so i do most stuff there during lunch time, i also have tame mechanics who will do the more complicated stuff for a pack of beer or a bottle of wine… This car is a hybrid monstrosity and still under garantee, ( though i replacesd the tyres at work) so its all done at the dealers, but i wouldnt pay thos prices otherwise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted October 2, 2025 Share Posted October 2, 2025 There is Daelim 250 on Marketplace, similar mileage to mine, same colour too, and in a generally same condition, he wants twice as much as I am going to put mine up for, it should make mine look like a bargain... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooN Posted October 5, 2025 Share Posted October 5, 2025 spent yesterday wondering if Pedro was going to come far enough east for me to ride out and meet up for a drink / feed. Didn't get nearly close enough yesterday and it's too late today now ( cos I know where he wants to be tonight and it's too far away for my knackered old frame to ride in one go.) Shame, but there it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my VW Touareg on auto trader for £X and got lots of "I can collect it today for £half X " and other similar crap. I just deleted them although I did go back to a couple and said "to you its £2x" ... then you get the "I'll be round at 4pm to look at it" and then never show. A mate of mine was flogging his Volvo and 2 guys showed up, one asked to see the MOT history so he went inside to get it and saw one of them squirting something around the engine bay as he came out again. They then said "you got an oil leak mate, we will give you £halfX". Turns out the even put some in the rad expansion tank. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
