Post by craig3.2 » Fri May 26, 2017 9:50 am

As per heading,weather is hitting nearly 30c yesterday,and warm again today in my area,and got no z to enjoy it !!

In over 5years of ownership,i have only had to do 3 essential repairs,other than wear and tear items such as tyres and front brake discs /pads...and none.being too expensive.
Now,after an enjoyable meet recently,my abs pump needs repaired,so will lighten my pocket by about £450,inc labour to remove from car for repair,then refit after.
Meaning car will be out of action for about a week!!
And the forecast is looking good for the week ahead,aaargh!!
Oh well,such is life.

Hope this good weather stays with us for a while,lol

Heh. Not a good feeling, is it?

Mine was off the road for the last month - picked it up last night. Slightly late to the party, but at least in time for a few nice days. Image

Gutted mate, I think the weather should be here to stay as it's the start of summer so let's hope many more days for you to enjoy! I haven't had the roof up for a single day in May, I'm sure June will be the same!

#grammarpolice - "needs repaired" doesn't make sense, surely "needs to be repaired" or "needs repairing" ?

Yes,warning lights came on after the meet,when going home :headbang:

At least it can be repaired,as a new one is extortionate,circa £2200,repair has lifetime warranty and is £240 Inc courier (gets sent for repair),plus about £200 labour from my Indy to remove them re install and check.
Just a pity it is such nice weather just now......long may it continue :D :driving:

I am sure we will get more to enjoy when I get the car back :) :driving:

Be back with you in no time Craig.

Been forced to take the Zed to work the past few day. Then travel home the long way over the moors. Way too hot to travel indoors. :lol: 8) :driving: :P
