Where do i start with the Meglio!
Since ive owned the car, its been nothing short of a nightmare! literally everything has gone wrong, one problem after the other, to the point i feel it has earned its car nickname "Hydra", fix one problem and two more shall take its place!
Have now spent the best part of a year throwing money, time, and ALOT of swearing at it! but i finally feel like im starting to get somewhere. its been into Mick @Diamond, hes replaced the Cam belt, Aux belt, and water pump for me, and pointed out some other problems it has, sorted some more of those over this weekend, and its actually starting to run like it should! to the point where i no longer feel like burning it (honestly considered lol!), and i now jump in it with every confidence its gunna put a smile on my face!
Big thanks to the AA for putting up with me recently haha! they must have had a truck on standby every time i ventured out in it!
Problems i still need to rectify:
New steering rack (one on order)
New starter motor
sort out other weird engine noises
front bumper respray
tidy rest of the body up
the list grows smaller every time =))
Please excuse random post, just felt like sharing my woes, but also the pleasure of achievement haha
