THIS WEEK IN OUR FLEET...

DAVID SIMISTER EDITOR

❚ 1977 RELIANT Scimitar GTE Hooked it up to a battery conditioner after a semi-successful winter shakedown. My old MG never liked these – hope the GTE fares better!

JAMES SADLIER MANAGING EDITOR

❚ 1999 PEUGEOT 406 Coupé V6 The squeaking continues so a quick phone call to mechanic Papa Sadlier to give my Peugeot’s brakes the onceover could well be in order.

MIKE LE CAPLAIN PRODUCTION EDITOR

❚ 1994 JEEP Cherokee 4.0 Limited Been exercising the Jeep more often now that a friend has got its headlights working. All its relays and connections turned out to be fine.

❚ 1999 BMW 318Ti

CHRIS HOPE FEATURES EDITOR

❚ 1980 TRIUMPH TR7 FHC

Not moved much recently and I’m already struggling to find a free weekend in which I can treat it to an oil change.

❚ 1993 FIAT Panda 1.1 Selecta The battery light on the dashboard has taken to glowing at random moments. I really hope that the alternator isn’t on the way out.

NICK LARKIN EDITOR-AT-LARGE

❚ 1997 ROVER 400
