Hi Folks Some of you may know me from other forums over the years ( Sierra, Volvo, BMW, XROC, Transit!, Jaguar ) sure there are more! Anyway I have picked up a 2004 "225" , the first and last time I owned a French car was 2004 (405 STDT) and that only lasted 4 weeks as it would not pass MOT. May well also be the last time I owned a turbocharged car (My Transit is excluded). The Megane is going to need a little fettle I think, will open some threads... Not sure what my overall plan is? My present fleet comprises... Jaguar S-Type V8 ( My Main car) Galaxy 2.3 (Family Bus) T350 Transit ( Bought last summer for a bit of fun, best thing I have done in years!) Jaguar S-Type V6 ( Parts Bin ) Focus Zetec MK1 ( Was a stopgap at one point, now just being pillaged for it's engine) Sierra 1.8GL ( Very Long term project [19 years off road]) Haynes Roadster Kit Car Project.... Vectra 1.8 SRI ( Not entirely sure why I bought this other than removing the parrot to Put in the van) Megane 225 TT
Re Turbos.... Just rememberd.... I had a BMW E61 3.0D, That was Turbo, what a piece of crap that was... And a 200K 96 Passat 1.9TD (In 2014) flaky lacquer, nothing special, but bullet proof.. Oh and the XR4x4 Twin Turbo... ( one of 3 I have owned and none never on the road ... ) TT
