Yes I think I must have been mistaken when I posted that back then. There was no readout, Mark Fish Performed the adjustment with bits of string and sticks (and about a million years of experience) so I never had anything to refer back to. After I had the toe dialled in it felt far more settled...

^ This. I personally prefer a flat grey over silver.

So I guess you will be leaving the rear settings as factory? What about the fronts? I always thought mine was toe out but going through the posts on here from years ago I might have toe in. (something I will need to be making a decision on soon)

Wow, that’s longer than I like to remember, didn’t we meet up at Didcot Maccy D’s. Or was it the Little Chef further up? Wales is the plan. :)

Thanks chaps. Paint finish had suffered a bit from contact inside “the bag” but a quick(not the right word that) glaze brought it back a little. I already cant wait to get it back.

And off to AW she goes.

Car is off on Wednesday. As commented on, looks in perfect condition but suspect the bill will be painful. Fortunately (or not) the wife component is not a factor :)

She is a little like me, looks okay on the outside, feeling a bit old under the skin. Full service, all fluids, bushes and bearings. Stuff taken off and powder coated. It all escalates pretty quickly “ If you going to do that you may as well do that as well etc etc” ☺️

Just a few jobs to do before she goes off, reattach rear bumper for one and I’m damned if I can remember what bolts go where! And this is how anal I used to be ☺️_

You don’t need to buy another bonnet switch to confirm whether it is that that is faulty. You can unplug the switch and the alarm will arm, or not, without the switch in the loop.

Just looking at that picture of you lining up at the start makes me anxious, my stomach would be doing literal backflips. Car really is lovely btw. Nice wheels Nick 👌

So 307 will shortly be making its first trip in more than five years across to AW. I have a whole list of things that I would like done to the underneath and engine but I know will have forgotten something. So if you were having a major refurb, what would you be wanting to have done? Go……

It would be a massive faff if they were not part of the deal but probably not too difficult to remanufacture, would help with that.

I always thought the original was a weird choice of material, more plastic the rubbery(?) As mentioned, those of mine have begun to disintergrate.
