Hello all!
Hi!
New 75 Tourer owner located in Somerset near Chard and happy to be here. Already gleaned a lot of useful info as a guest. Car is a Connoisseur CDTi in what I believe is Firefrost Red... it's nice whatever it's called. Already replaced the PCV filter, air filter and discovered that the radiator fan doesn't run (at least not on slow) so next job is to pull the bumper off to fit a new resistor from DMGRS. Hoping that's all it is. Ditto for one of the inline thermostats as it's very slow to warm up on cooler days. Also have oil change booked in at a local garage (as I'm staying with relatives at present and can't turn the drive into a service area too much!) But it's great to drive, a few niggles not withstanding. And looks so nice... Cheers! Steve DSC_3413_02 by Monaro Photography, on Flickr Last edited by LowFlyingBus; 9th May 2024 at 15:08.. |
