The conduit etc is all there. I think I may just do it myself TBH. Thats exactly what I would do. Didnt want to suggest it on here though. Just be careful.

On the Jeep, well get it running, but I doubt that will happen in 2022. The landy, fit rear seats, so I can take the family, and fit door locks.

L19MUD Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Hmmm, mostly the same as 2021! Finish 110 re chassis Finish 109 Rebuild And hopefully buy a house which will probably derail number 2 on the list for yet another year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are both working it also takes the pressure off always having one roadworthy, which also means you have more chance of doing things when you feel up for it, rather than having no choice but to do it. Overall … I recommend it 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Main target would be to bring the 109" back to life (finishing the engine conversion that some SOB let me down with, years ago). Apart from that, getting all the small projects - in the drawer - done for the Defender...improved OBA setup, new winch cables, new/definitive damper mounts.

monkie Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 I've had several Audis as company cars. I have them from new, put about 130,000 miles on them on 3 years and every single one has had a fault between 110,000 and 115,000 miles. Water pump failure happened on 2 of them. As for my current car, a BMW 2018 model, its always in the garage. Horrible horrible horrible car. Can't wait for it to be turned into razor blades.

Happyoldgit Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Oh I'll book the D-Max V Cross in for it's first service in July, I might wash it a few times between now and then. If my health keeps slowly improving I might drop the transmission out of the '43 Willys Jeep strip and rebuild it, if not I might trailer it down to a guy who rebuilds them all the time and just pay the bill when he's finished. Scouting about for a Series or early ish 90 for my daughter is also on the cards. All a bit tame really but that's all I feel up to these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbeaumont Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 21 hours ago, hurbie said: reliable and German in the same sentence ..... you are probebly confusing Japan and Germany .... Our low mileage five year old Fabia keeled over a couple of months back - the throttle assembly had disintegrated (same engine as the equivalent Polo and Ibiza). £750 + VAT for a new one, plus fitting and call out, so the final bill was over a grand. It's not generally been a bad car, but that sort of "German quality" makes me nervous of keeping it long term... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 They aren't what they were, driven by perceived consumer desires for massive amounts of electronics and gizmos, and the Euro6/7/8/9 forever accelerating emissions standards..... Plus, they can't make money in the future with ICE vehicles, everything for day to day stuff will be electric of some form, so investment has dropped off to maintenance only now, and compliance with regs.
