A VOLVO ROAD TRIP TO THE LAKE DISTRICT BROKE MY CAR

[@williamhumberhawk8187]

I tried sleeping in my Austin Maxi once. A police officer stopped and said you can't sleep here. I said not with you banging on the windows

C30 T5 owner here. WTF is that spoiler doing? Thought it was a bike rack. Can somebody please have a word

[@georgewp7732]

Didn’t ask, don’t care.

[@0Damzil0]

Does it annoy you that it's held on with suction cups?

[@Everything_Evan]

Looks hideous, adds weight, pushes down on to rear wheels on a front wheel drive car 🤨, more drag, less mpg, what are the pros?

[@Rich.Aardvark]

@@0Damzil0 I didn't see that but will check it out 😁

[@0Damzil0]

@@Everything_Evan it weighs fuck all, c30s have most of the weight on the front anyway, the angle of the wing doesn't make that much more drag and it doesn't make enough downforce to lift the front, so all it really does is balance the car out at speed and it actually does handle better for having it, mpg is still 37, and I used to get 40 odd so ye. I think it looks cool too which is why I wanted it

Do you think the car would have made it there and back if you didn't thrash the s**t out of it?

No considering the oil drain pipes o ring had disintegrated long ago leaving the pipe basically waiting to pop out of the block

Looks like good fun. Thought England was in a lockdown? not really sure what's going on down there though.

[@emilyshields3667]

The rules over here make absolutely 0 sense so the vast majority of us have just given up hahaha

[@trigsretromotors]

Have we? Some off us haven't seen family and friends on months, for others it seems its a holiday

[@emilyshields3667]

At the height of the pandemic I worked in a busy holiday park restaurant serving 400+ people a night, clearing their dirty plates, serving food and drink, taking their money etc but going on a little road trip with a few friends isn’t ok? Open your eyes... we could all be dead from something completely unrelated at any point, I’ve shielded myself away from vunerable family members also but for my own mental health sakes spending 7 months away from friends isn’t healthy.

[@zaftra]

@@emilyshields3667 And this is why we have a second lock down, the rules were simple enough to understand and follow, people, especially young, didn't, piling gin to bars, beaches, pointless marches. Your place opened after loickdown It's already killed one and a half million people world wide, that's with lockdown measures. www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

@@trigsretromotors yes we have. ONS completely contradicts what the gov are saying and Jamie Jenkins the former head of ONS cant believe how the gov are manipulating and scaremongering the public.

Same happened to me, oil light kept flashing dim and in the end when i got to a lift it had 0.5L oil left in the engine. Just put ton of rtv gasket in the oring hole and it has kept since

[@benjaminmellingen5340]

that looked like a blast! I hope the 940 didn't suffer too much from running itself dry a few times. I would fix the return for now, fix other leaks and make sure it's ready for an upgrade in the spring :)

[@graemew7001]

I'd repair the pipe for now because with the Winter coming up you'll not be using the power anyway and it sorts out the storing the car problem for now. Everyone has to do that weekend when they're young, I did, I froze and nearly ran out of petrol (Knackered gauge) but I loved it all the same.

[@emilyshields3667]

Just weighing up what’s the best thing to do for now! Hopefully can get her sorted soon😁 will definitely be doing more trips like this🙌

[@graemew7001]

@@emilyshields3667 Mind I am at an advantage compared to you, I live near Darlington so its not too far for me. We did do the Alton Towers trip one year camping so thats more the distance you did.....we also had calamities that trip too but it made it memorable 😂

Aye, them kids today. They don't know how lucky they are. Camping in a Volvo estate. When I were a lad I spent the night in a carpark with me girlfriend on the Gower Peninsula in a 'kin Austin Metro! 😁😁😁😁🙄 And I really wished the designers at Longbridge had done that gear lever differently...

Maybe check car running fine and back to normal before modify.

[@emilyshields3667]

By modifying it I will be making it run fine...🤦‍♀️

[@robinforrest7680]

Arghhh. Sorry about Vera. As you say every cloud has a silver lining. At least you had fun doing it. I'm still waiting on my garage to finish replacing the sump on Sven my 1999 Saab 9-5. Thanks to my daughter who brilliantly decided to take Sven green laning last July 🤬🤬🤬. Bloody car is too low for me to be arsed fitting it myself - like you I'd have to do it outside - but I'm beginning to wonder cos the garage has been faffing me around since the end of August!!! All the best for Vera.

Those return pipes are shit,the little rubber seal breaks up, you can change it from underneath but its a nightmare, Its worth the effort to fit a threaded bung in the block and get a flexible line made up.

Am much much older than Emily and agree to what she has written way down the comments, make the most fun of your life 'cos you wont know when your time has come up. Keep telling an old schoolmate we shall play as long and as much as we can before its to late! Money in the bank or loadsa memorys, well thats up to you, or maybe should say anyone? Today I've bought a secondhand but unused Aussie locker rear diff thingy for my Volvo 940 'cos I can! Will it go sideways? Bloody hope so! 😁😁
