You've got £100.00 in your pocket to treat your Coupe. You can spend less should you so desire but you can't (shouldn't wink ) spend a penny more.

£100 can buy...what?

The next service is due in December, I already have a strut brace, wishbones are just over a year old, I don't want a second coupe and fuel is required to get to work and back anyway wink

If this was me I'd put the £100 somewhere safe and spend it when it needs something.

Normally I'd agree with you Joe, but the tedium of everyday routine is forcing me to splash out. laugh

The Alfa 156 lower brace is £65 from strutbracer. I and many others can recommend the HDI Boost controller, it's a massive improvement over a PRV / MBC, and the standard EBV.

Alternatively a GTEC 1 & a rolling road session should come in at around £100.

I'll be paying flea a visit once I've replaced the clutch and turbo so I'll wait for that I think. Alternatively I could put it towards a full rust removal and underseal by Joe. Hmmm.

Just for you, V, a two-hole hoe:

I'm assuming the mud is causing the seat mess problem. If you carry it handle up, only the mat will be soiled.

Nah, spend your £100 on a new thermostat, and ECU temperature sensor, then with the change buy yourself a few beers.

My brother got one, needless to say it was returned shortly after. If I had my way it would have met its end with a lump hammer
