In the 6 or so years of owning "Doris" its hardly missed a beat but with now 94000 on the clock time is starting to tell and now having a few niggles,so where better to get advice- so here i am a tenner lighter ,which equates to a pint of guinness and a packet o' fags.will be posting my technical queries later on so should get her sorted this weekend.cheers Gary

94,000 miles? So its just about run-in then? Seriously, you've got another 100k miles in there at least if you look after the bodywork.....

Hi Gary, welcome to the club, I don't think there are many problems that we are not aware of and have many low cost solutions on hand from many experienced owners.
Plus loads of spare parts available from keen owners.
Not that you need many parts other than wear and tear bits.

I've had mine 16 years, it it ain't broke don't fix it.
But I do a fair bit of preventative maintenence as well, thanks to this club.
I have fixed many problems that I didn't know I had, thus saving huge replacement costs later on.

You have probably saved your £10 already within 24 hours.

Enjoy the club.
Best regards, Rustic
