DAVID SIMISTER EDITOR

] 1990 MAZDA Eunos Roadster Roof down for the first time this year. However, it was only to air the cabin out. The car didn’t move an inch because the battery’s gone flat…

JAMES SADLIER MANAGING EDITOR

] 2003 PEUGEOT 406 Coupé Still doing my essential journeys on foot, so I haven’t needed the Pug too much – which is a good thing because the repairs are nearly finished.

MIKE LE CAPLAIN PRODUCTION EDITOR

] 2001 MGF 1.8i Was seriously considerin­g fitting Trophy-spec headlights until I saw the going price on eBay – £200… EACH! Thirty quid steering wheel it is, then.

JON BURGESS NEWS EDITOR

] 1996 VOLVO 960 It’s amazing the difference a few adjustment­s can make. The 960 now has an uncracked door mirror and an adjusted, taut throttle cable; it’s rather quicker, now.

CHARLIE CALDERWOOD STAFF WRITER

] 2000 PEUGEOT 306 1.8 16v Showing itself incapable of holding charge for a few days, so it’s clear that the cold snap killed the battery. £67 and a new one is on the way.

CHRIS HOPE FEATURES EDITOR ] 1980 TRIUMPH TR7 FHC The weather’s improving – at last. Now all I need is the stay at home order to be officially lifted so that I can stretch its legs properly.

RICHARD GUNN SENIOR CONTRIBUTO­R

] 1995 VOLVO 960 3.0 estate Now my one car on the road, with the Panda’s MoT expired and the Saab 900 still missing. Good job nobody is going anywhere much.

NICK LARKIN EDITOR-AT-LARGE

] 2003 MG ZR Had an intermitte­nt problem with the ignition key refusing to turn in the barrel. Internet advice of applying WD40 seems to have worked!
