THIS WEEK IN OUR FLEET...

DAVID SIMISTER EDITOR ❚ 1990 MAZDA Eunos Roadster

Just got back from a 950-mile outing around Cornwall. Of course it rained. Still, got to see plenty of interesting cars while traversing the south-west of England.

JAMES SADLIER MANAGING EDITOR ❚ 2003 PEUGEOT 406 Coupé

Weighing up whether to proceed with a clutch repair that’ll set me back more than the car itself cost. A grand to sort a tired clutch? Ouch...

MIKE LE CAPLAIN PRODUCTION EDITOR ❚ 2001 MGF 1.8i

First big roadtrip following extensive recent work to rectify niggling problems – and nearly two years off the road – about to get underway. Anxious, moi?

JON BURGESS NEWS EDITOR ❚ 1995 SUBARU SVX

It’s back on six cylinders for the first time in a long time; that new pair of oxygen sensors did the trick. The speedo wasn’t plugged in – but I can’t find the loom connector.

CHARLIE CALDERWOOD STAFF WRITER ❚ 1999 BMW 318Ti

Struggling to find a decent pair of headlights for the BMW – the shape of the unit is the same as in saloon E36s, but the wiring is Compactspecific, helpfully.

CHRIS HOPE FEATURES EDITOR ❚ 1980 TRIUMPH TR7 FHC

Waxoyl purchased, I just need a free weekend now in which to apply it to the car. It’s not a fun job, as I’ve done it before, but it will save me money in the long run.

RICHARD GUNN SENIOR CONTRIBUTOR ❚ 1995 VOLVO 960 3.0 estate

The Volvo is about to have new front wings fitted. It should be a simple bolt-off, bolt-on job. What’s the betting it really doesn’t quite work out that way?

NICK LARKIN EDITOR-AT-LARGE ❚ 1989 AUSTIN Maestro

Am kicking myself for not getting the Maestro’s welding sorted; the car is a useful back-up. Not too much work involved hopefully. ❚ ALSO ON THE FLEET David Brown 1999 Rover 200 BRM.
