broke down today on the way to work  :( , big thanks to bugmania from E38/Vzi who happened to be passing and was good enough to stop and give me a lift into work, cheers dude!

Called out the breakdown cover after work and their opinion was it was the fuel pump - although could still hear it priming. Unfortunately apparently the car was "too low to recover" (quite disappointed they did not give me a copy of the form stating this) so i had too call in the services of workmate Dave and his trusty one hundred pound Volvo "Fred"   :laugh: :









had to try my orange wheels im selling on  :laugh:

all sorted cheers, it was the lift pump. Yeah the Volvo always makes me chuckle too, gets more stares than most cars!

minor update today but still quite pleased....

changed the rear bench as the seat had a few burns in it, managed to get a mint one with rear headrests which looks much better:

before:





after:
