Maybe. But not yet.

Oh god, now I feel like I should do mine.

Nice, like a MK3 Cavalier

I think there are probably too many unknowns there to definitively blame the venue. I would put that down to coincidence. With the used pumps, you simply don't know their history in terms of fluid changes, whether they've been run low on fluid, or whether they have been used on track. I would...

What I'm trying to get at is that, by knowing the cause, it's easier to identify the workaround. Fitting a different pump may not be the solution. Do they have cooling as standard? I would assume it's the fluid overheating and causing wear to the pump, so it may be enough to fit a new OEM pump...

What's the actual problem that causes the pump to fail?

I know this is probably sacrilege, but I'm not really a fan of Monaco for some reason, even though I usually like dark blues. Really like this though, all works together really nicely.

There are faster and more extreme examples once you get into the track/race/rally cars for sure but, in road car terms, this is the one for me. Wheels, colour, ride height, spoiler, it's all spot on.

He'd be right too 😂

Best looking 182 on the forum, just love it.

You did?! I must have got distracted by all the drivel about YouTube 😂

You could if you could find some wheels lol

Nice that. The MK7 Golf is such a great all-rounder. A real high point. The MK8 looks awful by comparison. I think I would have a GTI over an R if I went back. Weirdly, I think the GTI looks better as a 3dr, but the R has to be a 5dr. It's obviously something in the side skirts or something, but...

Love it. Best factory colour for a Ph.1 by miles.

On the subject of Mondeo's, an ST24 near my house earlier. Can't be many of these left now thanks to rust and head gasket troubles.

Ah, so sticking with the previous engine for now?

Looking good. What's the engine spec? Did Mark build it, or did you go a different route?

A few today... I can't remember the last time I saw a MK1 Punto! This was lovely. Would have this over an M4 for sure. f**k knows what this is all about...

A full face helmet is pretty unnecessary in this sort of situation though, surely? I hate wearing a full face helmet. Nothing wrong with wearing comfortable shoes either? Gloves are maybe a bit unnecessary, but do help a bit in my experience.

I'm with you. I'm probably a bit stuffy because I'm in that business, but most "influencers" or YouTubers just aren't bringing anything to the table. I want someone who is qualified to have an opinion, but most of them are just rich blokes who can afford not to work and travel about driving...

I'm still obsessed by my wheels 😂 Really need to do some paint correction, it's swirly.

Haha, I remember when that all came out - there was a lot of shock around the Ford world :ROFLMAO:

EVO Corse in silver in your car I reckon!

I was talking to a friend about this recently. He works for an IT company and they pay someone to come out and do all their vans etc. That could be an opportunity. If you could get a few local businesses on board that have a few vehicles, it might give you a regular earner. This guy said that...

Looks well that!

Definitely agree with that. They're just not special/unique to look at in the slightest.

Looks good that. PMS stuff does look good quality, and pretty good value. The brushed tips look good. Need some videos of it on the move 😎

With all the messing about with insurance and tax, you could probably be in a Ferrari by now 😂

Given how many of those shonky old Volvos you've had, maybe you have found it but just don't want to admit it lol. Fair play if you actually enjoy dealing with time wasters and trawling about looking at cars that are nothing like the and says. I can't be bothered with that anymore, hate buying...

Maybe I am being weird and insensitive, but what do you get out of all this? You obviously had to pay out for the car, but even had to get on a plane and fly hundreds of miles to get it, then sort insurance etc etc, all to flog it again in a month. Surely that's just going to end up costing you...
