Re:Another Hideous Yank
The Buick is still working... except for central locking and interior lights flattening the battery.
Pulled the fuse for now. Never lock it anyway...
I'll look into it after I've finished tinkering with my latest toy. Just getting it ready for the Controle Technique.
Also waiting on attestation from FFVE so I can register it.
I was lucky with post brexit bollox and avoided import tax and only had to pay duty of 77 euro

Re: Re:Another Hideous Yank
Looks nice, that.....Good engine too by all accounts and a better longtermer than early Northstars.
There's a great long bar in Rock & Roll heaven.......

Re: Re:Another Hideous Yank
If that had a cloth bench-seat and column-shift it would tick all of my want-a-modern boxes. As far as I can tell, that means I want a Japan market (more door) DeVille. Like this one.
Re: Re:Another Hideous Yank
Funny you say that...
This Cadillac is Japanese market.
As far as I know the only difference is tail lights, head lights and the radio. Oh, and Japanese stickers under the bonnet.

Re: Re:Another Hideous Yank
Things are happening with the Cadillac
Registration comformaty has been obtained and documents uploaded to ANTS. That's the frog version of DVLA.
Still waiting to here from them... They're no better than DVLA
Caddy has had a CT (mot) and only failed on headlight aim and tyres. Big long list of advisories though
Headlights ignored for now but 4 new tyres have been fitted.
A CT fail here, unless catastrophic, alowes you to continue using the car, which is exactly what I have been doing
13mpg though
Hopefully the shit ton of bits I've ordered from Rockauto will get me few more mpg's I ordered parts on Sunday, one box arrived Wednesday, two more are still in transit.
Shit fridge magnet in the first box though...

Re: Re:Another Hideous Yank
The last one I received from Rockauto was a good'un, though....

Re: Re:Another Hideous Yank
At long last all of the Eldorado bits have arrived.
The normally excellent FedEx managed to loose it in Germany for a few days, then it was sent on a tour of Normandy. Despite me giving them idiot proof directions. I've fitted the simple stuff.
Saturday I'm taking it to a mate with a four poster to
fit all new discs, pads and droplinks.
Also changing all fluids and filters including transmission.
