yesterday, i had to wire up an electronic fan controller for the radiator of me saff cos it needed it.

I spilled some antifreeze/water mixture over the engine bay and today i have some sort of oil leak.

the other week i had to change the rr shox cos one started leaking

im just a bit fed up of constantly tinkering with it.

does anyone get the same way??

 

all the time , everythin keeps brakin

 

used to run an rst which is a fraction of the cost of a cos, but still opted out and now have a E30 325i mtech that is used for drifting and a E46 328ci se that is used for good, and have just bought a cheapo derv corsa for the long journeys...

Thank fook im outta the ford, forever breaking scene.................

 

yup. the saph is sitting outside the house with no interior and a rotten floor.. really can't pull my finger out to do anything with it..

 

yep always something wrong, right now its the exhaust hitting the front prop but as soon as I fix that something else will go wrong last week it was wiring problems and before that a turbo and before that the engine, I always tell myself, just fix this bit and it'll be ok because it feels like I have done everything else, but oh no the car always has other ideas

 

Im the exact same, one thing after another, but when it is running there`s no better feeling, all your problems go away and its the best buzz in the world

cant wait to get mine back on the road, even if it is only for a week or two

 

mine's been "almost ready" for just over a year now

 

You own an old car - thats how it is!

 

even new ones break

 

new one have warrant...

and then someone else fixes it for you.

Oh and they break FAR FAR less lol

Hence 90% of people like new cars and not old ones!

 

All the fun of owning a Ford

Fix Or Repair Daily - and mines certainly living up to its name

 

My E46 328 hasnt missed a beat in over 100,000 miles..............

Been perfct since i bought it and still is to this day...........

And the drift E30 has over 150,000 miles on the clock and still takes a pasting most weekends and never throws its dummy out........

Ford are shite simple as.......

 

Everytime i walk past my car sat on axle stands stripped and in need of work,u've just gotta think of the times when everything is running good!

 

i did today mate,

not long painted underneath of mine after i thought i done al the welding, when i pulled the carpet out, ive no found 4 more holes, i gave up today after finding them because it means another month on my back under there agin to get it how it should be

 

TBH iv'e no probs with my cossie,not for a long time, i only changed the spark plugs today as a matter of caution as they haven't been changed for nearly 2 years & iv'e done a few trackdays with them aswell , just for something to do really Don't drive mine much though. When i used to run a Cossie as daily transport back in the 90's it was for ever going wrong & completely broke me financially ! best thing is just leave itin the garage & use it now & then.

I don,t mind things braking in the summer,WARM WEATHER ,NOT DARK UNTIL 10PM.It,s when they brakedown in the winter that i hate.COLD,RAINNING AND GET,S DARK AT 4PM :To date iv,e changed the ENGINE,GEARBOX,CLUTCH, BRAKES,SUSPENSION,EXHAUSTWHEELS,WHEEL BEARINGS,ALL LIGHTS AND COMPLETE FUEL SYSTEM.

 

To be fair though these cars are getting old and most are tuned too. And a standard 328 isn't exactly quick is it?

Many thanks for confirming the stereotypical beemer driver though.

 

I probabley get that more than most due to being a mechanic 8-til 6 evey day then most sat mornings while also trying to build a track day car with my boss, building a 67 plymouth barracuda pro street drag car with my 19 yr old brother and trying to help my dad rebuild his 68 mustang fastback restomod car and rebuild my own 3dr !!!!
