If it's an E46 the plastic expansion tank fails. Ours went once when we were on holiday, steam everywhere!

Not sure it's a 2002 I never get the hang of the E numbers, but it's definitely the belt, minutes before he heard a noise then it went flying out the side of the the car

5 Series, I know that much, he as another couple of 3 Series, both 1998, I think they are E36's maybe, possibly,
Feeling inspired by gaining a nice shiny new test cert, I washed the 205 and gave it a coat of polish, cleaned and hoovered the interior, polished the dashboard and other interior plastics with GT-85 which brings cheap, tacky '80s French interior plastics up like new. The seats didn't seem dirty but I tried some instant valet stuff in an aerosol and there is definitely a difference. Amazing how well it cleaned up really after 25 years and 221,000 miles. I must try something to restore colour to the very faded bumpers and oddly the rear window winder handles have gone grey too.
While I was cleaning it, I was sitting in the back seat and looking at the ashtray on each door and thinking "how quaint!" A sign of the chain-smoking era that it was designed in - a personal ashtray for each rear seat passenger - why deny your teenage children the right to have somewhere to flick their cigarette ash while you drove them to school? Modern cars don't seem to have ashtrays in these politically correct times.

Dreadful isn't it. My Volvo has a cigar lighter, most of these modern motors just have a 12v socket!

New project arrived last night on the back of the truck,
then donor for new project on the back of the truck
Then finally on the drive, however we have other things to sort before work can commence, the drift car needs work to reattach the diff to the chassis. But before that have to finish off installing the new windows in the bedroom.

Surprisingly they do, who fixes anything that goes wrong on the street?

My driveway looks like that quite often with either the Volvo or Capri in bits, on ramps or getting welded. Funnily enough my neighbours are fine with it, and I get to fix things for them too....

We picked the MX5 up yesterday from a little lock-up in Wigan, before we could get it loaded we had to move a MK3 Capri, he then showed us inside the lock-up, a very nice MK1 Escort both a MK1 & MK2 Capri both almost completed, along with a lot of other stuff,

An Abba stand, only other one I have seen in use
