THIS WEEK IN OUR FLEET...

DAVID SIMISTER EDITOR

] 1977 RELIANT Scimitar GTE Just fitted an extended, baby seat-friendly seatbelt to the daily. Considering having the same done for the GTE, so it’s ready for show season.

JAMES SADLIER MANAGING EDITOR

] 1999 PEUGEOT 406 Coupé V6 Put foot down the other day, flat to the floor... something went in the exhaust, and it’s now ‘puffing’ differently. A very different octave!

MIKE LE CAPLAIN PRODUCTION EDITOR

] 2001 MGF 1.8i Arrival of new V5 has allowed me to put it on SORN until spring, when I’ll get Hall’s to service and MoT it and – finally – extinguish the engine light.

JON BURGESS NEWS EDITOR

] 1995 SUBARU Impreza WRX SV Pricing up various parts to get it back on the road. I was having trouble working out what cat had been fitted – until a previous owner confirmed a later GDB item had been used.

CHARLIE CALDERWOOD STAFF WRITER

] 2000 PEUGEOT 306 1.8 16v Made an attempt at fixing the broken rear wiper, but found the wiper arm to be welded to the spindle with corrosion. Puller tool on the way.

CHRIS HOPE FEATURES EDITOR

] 1980 TRIUMPH TR7 FHC Wondering what the best option is for upgrading the TR7’s breathing. I’m tempted by several improved air filter systems on the market.

RICHARD GUNN SENIOR CONTRIBUTOR

] 1995 VOLVO 960 3.0 estate After being taken off the road during the first lockdown, the big Volvo has been freshly MoT’d – just in time for the second lockdown. D’oh!
