THIS WEEK IN OUR FLEET...
DAVID SIMISTER EDITOR
] 1990 MAZDA Eunos Roadster The council’s digging up the road this week – and that means the Mazda, unless I treat it to knobbly off-road tyres, is cut off. No rush, chaps...
JAMES SADLIER MANAGING EDITOR
] 1999 PEUGEOT 406 Coupé V6 The electronic ignition fault seems to have temporarily disappeared. Papa Sadlier mentioned the fault could have been due to lack of use!

] 1997 JAGUAR XJ6 3.2 Sport
You know that the chillier months are beginning to draw in when you have to crank the aircon up off ‘cold’. #firstworldissues

] 1966 VOLVO 121
A few more parts arrived for the Amazon – a new Simons back box and a pair of wheel cylinders – but fiddling with the carburettor linkage has lessened the times it stalls.

] 2000 PEUGEOT 306 1.8 16v Replacing an ancient exhaust clamp hasn’t solved the 306’s EML, so it’s off to a specialist to plug it into some diagnostic equipment.
CHRIS HOPE FEATURES EDITOR
] 1980 TRIUMPH TR7 FHC
New alternator seems to be doing its job – there’s been no difficult starting since it’s been replaced. This is the most reliable the TR7’s been in ages.

] 1982 AUSTIN Allegro 1.3 HLS The Allegro is back in action with two new back tyres and a bandaged-up exhaust. Its fuel economy is very welcome at the moment.

] 2003 ROVER 75
