Another Newbie from London

Post by Missing Ethics » Wed Sep 09, 2020 11:47 am

Hi guys, been lurking a long time but thought it was time to get involved.

I'm running a 2.2 05 e85, as my daily. Needs a lot doing these days - couple of bits of interior, wheels, and roof lines :cry:

Sitting at 120k miles which I've put on 30k. Had a few issues in that time...

New suspension all round in march, then realised I had to change the oil pump housing gasket, valve cover gasket and did the starter motor while I was in there. (Guess how fun that was!) Happy to report it's all running very sweetly now :D

Welcome, always good to see owners coming out of the shadows 👍. You’ve learned enough along the way to include a photo in your first post. Seems like you are adept with a bit of spannering, which has clearly served you well.

Welcome to the forum, nice looking car. Generally they are reliable cars and fairly easy to work on. Plenty miles left in the car to enjoy.
