I'm ashamed to say I've used the P5 only once over the last 12 months, I really need an incentive to fix the jobs that need doing and get her back in for an MOT...
The other day I bought replacement interior light units from ebay for a tenner a piece. Yesterday I took the plunge and ordered a full set of AVO adjustable shocks for the old girl...Not to try and turn her into a Lotus on the corners but to give her a slightly more sure footed feel on the road. I reasoned that the standard oil filled shocks might just end up feeling soggy and not much different to the ones that are already on there.
So hopefully with shiny new shocks in my greasy hands I will want to get out there (in a gap in the rain) and replace the water pump, fit a better condition radiator and replace the power steering box that has been keeping the underside of my car oiled for such a long time!
If I do the lottery tonight maybe I can pay someone to do it for me?!
