You've got £100.00 in your pocket to treat your Coupe. You can spend less should you so desire but you can't (shouldn't wink ) spend a penny more.

£100 can buy...what?

The next service is due in December, I already have a strut brace, wishbones are just over a year old, I don't want a second coupe and fuel is required to get to work and back anyway wink

If this was me I'd put the £100 somewhere safe and spend it when it needs something.

The Alfa 156 lower brace is £65 from strutbracer. I and many others can recommend the HDI Boost controller, it's a massive improvement over a PRV / MBC, and the standard EBV.

Alternatively a GTEC 1 & a rolling road session should come in at around £100.

I'll be paying flea a visit once I've replaced the clutch and turbo so I'll wait for that I think. Alternatively I could put it towards a full rust removal and underseal by Joe. Hmmm.

Just for you, V, a two-hole hoe:

I'm assuming the mud is causing the seat mess problem. If you carry it handle up, only the mat will be soiled.

Nah, spend your £100 on a new thermostat, and ECU temperature sensor, then with the change buy yourself a few beers.

200 bags of sugar Gurly. That's enough to fill a coupe with. Or a CD, mp3, usb head unit from Aldi
