DAVID SIMISTER EDITOR

] 1977 RELIANT Scimitar GTE Stayed put last weekend with galeforce winds and heavy rain hitting where I live – not exactly Scimitar weather, so no outings this week!

JAMES SADLIER MANAGING EDITOR

] 1999 PEUGEOT 406 Coupé V6 Now the exhaust has been fixed (see left), I can concentrat­e on the driver’s door – which looks like it could fall off at any second.

MIKE LE CAPLAIN PRODUCTION EDITOR

] 2001 MGF 1.8i

Enjoying a week off with the family, which sadly precludes the MGF on account of its seat count! Looking forward to getting back into it.

JON BURGESS NEWS EDITOR

] 1994 JEEP Cherokee Limited

I bought the correct limited slip differenti­al additive for the Jeep through a deal online; it’s long since overdue a change. Tyre slime (for the porous alloys) is also on its way…

CHARLIE CALDERWOOD STAFF WRITER

] 2000 PEUGEOT 306 1.8 16v

I have finally got rid of the engine management light, dodgy oxygen sensor in the end, which Peugeot are still selling replacemen­ts for.

CHRIS HOPE FEATURES EDITOR

] 1980 TRIUMPH TR7 FHC

Off work for a week and down in Cornwall – sadly without the TR7. The instances where I can’t take it places because we’re now a family of three are becoming more acute…

RICHARD GUNN SENIOR CONTRIBUTO­R

] 1982 AUSTIN Allegro 1.3 HL Being forced onto notoriousl­y rough rural Lincolnshi­re lanes by roadworks has played havoc with the Hydragas. I now have a deflated Allegro!

NICK LARKIN EDITOR-AT-LARGE

] 2003 MG ZR

MG has declared that it ends a new alternator, just in time for the winter, Not long ‘til it’s due some more fettling, either!
