    Hi all.

    My recently aquired 2.5TC Estate is a solid but scruffy example in need of TLC.

    The most urgent problem involves a vibration coming in at about 55mph.

    Can you drive out of the vibration Mike? If so i would suggest getting the wheels balanced as that is the speed wheel vibes tend to start at for some reason. Sometimes increase in speed makes it worse or more often it will disapear.

    They are all going the same way Pete, even the like of Bosch and De Walt. On the plus side you only need one charger and a couple of batteries, not so long ago you would have a bench full of chargers and batteries. On the down side you are stuck to one make.

    Hi all,  I have just been having a sort out in my garage and found some gaskets.  CG 902 Payen and AG 900 Payen.  Can anyone point me to what they fit. I know they are 6cyl but what models?

    Thanks, Tony.

    Hi all, sorry for the recent silence, I've been juggling time.

    Great advice, which I can really understand.....So much so that part of the juggling enabled me to go & view the 2500TC. Seems like an incredibly honest car, loads of info on line from when it was a Classics Monthly staff car (2016-18). Lots of important work done, found 2 small holes underneath, needs TLC & is scruffy but sound.

    So I am now the proud owner! Collecting Saturday.

    Now the fun starts...Is there anyone in the club that would offer an evaluation, to see what needs doing urgently/less urgently/when time allows?

    Sitting here with a BIG smile!

    Mike.

    Well done Mike, you will have an even bigger smile when you start driving it :)

    Hi Tony.

    Saw this earlier. Am tempted, especially as it was featured in a classic car mag for a while.

    Trouble is, I really want either a PI or S, for the performance & gadgets. Possibly being fussy? But really want either if possible.

    I know what you mean Mike, I have a 2000 and a 2500s both saloons...... I looked for 2years before i found a decent "s" so you could be in for a long wait for an "s" estate. The ebay one might be a good stop gap whilst you keep looking :)

    Guess I better get on and order a new UJ from the club shop to replace the one I broke.

    Karl

    And another vice to use while you touch up the scratches on the other one :) :)  I did break a vice like that old one once, but in all fairness it did have a long length of scaffolding tube on it whilst a bearing was being whacked with a large hammer in the jaws.
