LotusLeftLotusRight 1,231 Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 No more complaints about Lotus servicing costs please. This is my Ferrari Mondial T cabriolet having its 3 yearly cam belt service. When they say “engine out”, they mean “everything out”! Still looking pretty good for a nigh on 30 year old unrestored car. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That requirement was the icing on the the cake as for as the sale of my 456, I needed to be fore the rest of it broke ever noticed how cheap they are.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TdM 168 Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Well, Alfa did, with the Tspark engine... They actually said 6 years I think at first, until engines started grenading after 3 then changed it. 3 years on a belt is not unreasonable (though taking the engine out might be!)

mdw 273 Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 Cant quite compete with the pic above but from todays local paper web site. "A woman driving an Audi tried to park in the space next to it. But she misjudged the width, and the car began running up the side of the low-slung McLaren." 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A school friend of mine used to drive his mum’s white Lada Riva back in the day. It may have been made from cheap radioactive Russian steel, but it certainly didn’t have the fanny magnet properties of that one. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post LotusLeftLotusRight 1,231 Posted October 20, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 My Mondial T engine has been fully serviced and is now back in the car. They even remove the cam covers, fit new gaskets and repaint them with the correct red crackle paint. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
