What have you done to your Elgrand today?

[LeStempy]

It was a twat in a Euro Car Parts (LKQ now) van, he decided the offside lane at a roundabout was the turn left lane and didn't see the frikkin great white van there ?????

Oh well, see how much their insurance offers me for the write-off value

Every cloud......

I used Google translate on that rear window sticker. Apparently I have an excellent car!

 

[japrider]

What type of calliper do you go for? I free’d mine up a while back but need to change both rears for a permanent fix.

I got this from eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/17570828...Zx9aAbURVC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Also got new brake line bolts https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/33438390...Zx9aAbURVC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Had a great day at Japfest The Netherlands!
We were the only Elgrand there and boy did she create a lot of attention!
Lots of nice comments and people taking many pics and videos!
Post more about it tomorrow, currently knackered as we were up very early!
(video uploaded already Elgrand makes an appearance at 1.45) haha

Infinity calipers are also an option, not cheap, but wow, they stop you.

Wow Utrecht is a very nice place! We are on the other side in the Overijssel region near the German border!
Where about's are you visiting friends and do you have the Elgrand with you!?

Sadly not! Although we’re going to drive over next time as the cost of flights for all 4 of was painful this time round. Don’t suppose you know if LPG is easily bought in NL?

We’re just in the Utrecht area to see everyone

Very easy to get hold of and last I saw it was around 0.79 cents a litre!

 

[dognero]

Took the grandkids to South Lakes Zoo.
Elgrand was spot on and even got LPG at Morrisons Barrow in Furness.
Got loads of looks parked in the lake services on the way there.
Sun was just the right place to show off all the colours of the G30 paint.

 

[Magnu]

Gave Magnu a wash today, pre wash, snow foam and contact wash. I think she looks good in the evening light.

 

[dognero]

Just to prove sometimes it's dirty.

 

[Mark76e]

Cleaned mine inside. It was minging.
This cleaner is amazing. I thought my seats and plastics were clean but this is phenomenal stuff...

Want to give the body a full claying and waxing but the trees are dropping their sticky stuff everywhere today.
Job for the morning now...

 

[Richard Fox]

Took a sample of my brake fluid from the white one as it looked quite dark within the reservoir. My wife's B12 syringes came in handy for the samples! lol
What do you guys reckon, does it need changing?! Also does brake fluid have shelf life as I have some left from a few years ago.
Left sample - White Elgrand
Middle sample - Silver Elgrand
Right sample - fresh brake fluid

 

[LeStempy]

You can test the water content of the brake fluid if you have a tester or take it to a garage that will do it. You could also test the stuff on your shelf.

Are they the same brand ? as they may vary
The stuff on the shelf, has it ever been opened ? , if so bin it
If the stuff in the bus is known to be very old it will have picked up moisture so I would change or as stempy says, test it
