At least you can use your car! After 3 years of every day use, I've got another set of wheels to use everyday so that I can keep the mileage down on TB2. I cleared out the garage for the first time in years and put my car away. (After a clean and dry off) First time I used it after that a coil pack's failed. So back to the garage and save up some cash to get replacement/s. Can't wait.Originally Posted by pessling

They get stroppy if they are not given enough attention
Colin Ellis #456 It'll be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end
Must be more to it Darren to keep loosing coils at the rate your going through them, Has the garage been able to draw any other conclusions.
Although you wont have the pleasure of using your car everyday, at least you'll be able too look after that lovely paint, and enjoy it even more when you can use it.

Ah! Just stick it through the car wash...... Mine goes through regularly. Well its going to get a new paint job in about a years time as there are loads of stone chips now, what with the car being used everyday come rain or shine. Being dug out of snow and ice three times this year (great drifting practice on the large empty car park at work when covered with snow and ice). Salt, Snow, Mud, Salt, Stones, and huge holes in the road. Little Willie soldiers on so very well. With a big waxing and polishing twice a year and regular small waxes in the car wash and all the important bits underneath waxoil'd.
Even just after a good was he looks all shiny. 83K and still shining..... Its a car thats to be driven not just looked at. Drive it well and it'll last forever (well almost)!!
