General Pippa - update

[thebiglad]

Well, Pippa has been in the family for just over 1 month and in that time she's had new rear brakes; engine oil and filter change; new air filter; brake fluid changed; roof sticker (see pics):; bonnet stickers; seat covers and finally rear bench seat removed.

In the last pic is Wendy polishing her car - treasure this image as history would suggest that it'll never happen again !!!!!


She is absolutely over the moon about this car - it's just perfect, apparently.

It's a sticker that Wend bought off the 'net - it's like a piece of modern art with Pandas in it.

One piece sticker for the whole roof - that was easy to put on - NOT !!!!!

Good to see some pics Dave and glad you are enjoying the car. Keep the updates coming!

He lives in France so they're most likely on strike! Probably only had half a litre of wine with lunch instead of the full litre so they got Le Hump :devil:

You should have been round ours last night, no shortage of Vin Rouge at all !!!!


And just for the benefit of anyone at all - that's my bonfire pile - preparing for a Viking funeral.

Looks great!

Just finished taking off and re-installing correctly the front bumper, both wheel-arch ends had come adrift. All nice and solid now.


Just a quick question: whilst fiddling with the front bumper on the LHS I found something that I didn't recognise, it is some sort of bottle but with what looks like 2 blue pipes (possibly fuel) going to and from it.

Any idea what this is and what does it do?


Bare in mind mine is a LHD car.

Cheers

Should be the charcoal canister, see photo attached. Though on the later cars who knows what extras they put on!
Do I win a bottle of Vin Rouge

Hi Jamie and thanks for that. I've not come across this item before as most of my cars have been diesel, up to now.

What does this thing do?


Dave

PS Re the Vin Rouge - yes of course a bottle is due and waiting for collection

No it doesn't - you daft bugger

Though I could be corrected the charcoal filter takes the breather from the fuel tank.
