hi there everyone , i don't seem to be having much luck with cars at the moment, until last year i had a really nice pulsar , i owned it for 3 years , then i smashed it quite badly (it's under cover outside my house at the mo). so between cars i found myself using the worst audi 80 in the world every time it rained the footwells would fill up with water , mouldy as hell inside too.
I then bought an e34 525i, i had to replace a broken rocker on it so i managed to buy it quite cheap only £300 , and got it going . I thought that i would use this as an interim car while i repaired my pulsar, but the pulsar is way too bent to repair. When i first started driving the e34 i wasn't too keen on it, but after a while it seems to have grown on me and i quite like it. Anyway i have scince done all the brake disc's and pad all round and gave it a full service, when i did the brakes i noticed that the front shocks were leaking so i ordered a jamex spring and shock kit for it only £205 off ebay, not bad i thought , i was driving to plymouth hospital the other day i had just overtaken 2 cars when the engine decided to go pop , luckily it was only a few miles from where i live and i got the car back later that same day, iv'e managed to source another engine for £395 delivered and a new cam belt fitted with a 90 day warranty , lets hope my luck changes:p
