Bit of rust under the front windshield, front door strap pillar gizmo tore loose and there's now a hairline crack in the pillar, running on 5 cylinders, battery's dead...I'm in trouble. Stereo was already shot and no air coming out of the windshield vent.

Everything is now put on hold 'till she's back in full working order. no more excuses !

I trust that to be a condition report on your old beater Volvo .... or Lada ...

Wait - I take the Lada comment back: they barely ran on 4 cyls when new ..... not a hope on 5

Peter,
Was your 993 stolen and then recovered?

Fortunately, there was no malfeasance on anyone's part but my own.
Unfortunately, there is no difference whatsoever if there had been.

I've been on the lookout for a new DD for awile, and I finally found one. But then there was the Defender to put in good nick and selling it, and my mate has been building a Defender challenge appliance, and I've been helping him out. So she'd just been sitting outside as I don't have a garage or workshop, and the battery died. When I finally got to recharging the battery a few weeks back I noticed a really rough vibration, which I expect to be a bad spark plug or dud wire. The coils are OK. So again I had to leave her to her own devices for a few weeks.

I hop I can now get around to fixing her befor the holiday travels are upon me. I even sent back the registration because I've simply have had no time to drive her.

But I have vowed to restore her to full working order sparing no expense !
