No WITW?
I dont suppose I'm the only one who looks forward to reading the "What's In The Workshop" thread over the weekend/on mondays but now that Gareth's car is fixed up i find I'm missing the thread come Monday morning!! :ROFL
C'mon MJ, surely there's someone out there needing your help

Well my S8 is currently laid up on SORN and I'm ever hopeful that it's next move will be to The Workshop (note capitals).

2003 D2 FL S8. Irish Green Pearl/Beige. Solar sunroof, auto-dim mirrors, electric rear seat functions and extended leather. Ski hatch retrofit. Aftermarket reversing camera. DVB-T and XCarlink now removed as redundant. 2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation". (Even rarer than a D2 S8!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one! Finally: gone, but not forgotten..... 1998 D2 PF S8. Agate Grey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, Tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors. e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later) 1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon. Added Auto-dim mirror, Leather seats, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer. And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850! |

I think there is a couple of us on this forum that would like their D2s to have the pleasure of going through the workshop in the future.

I think those cars that have have the Michaela treatment, should have a "Workshop Certified" badge. Way better than an Audi dealer FSH

There is rather a lot in the workshop right now Big Red is in there in disgrace as she ran out of fuel at 55 miles range, right in front of a very smug truck driver First time she's done that to me while driving about, despite going in to the red frequently and the tank not having been fiddled with for several years. My Murple is in there because I still haven't finished rescuing it. I need to take the engine out and do all the usual stuff, hopefully over the next few weeks. Its a lovely place to sit now. It just disappears in a cloud of oil smoke if the engine gets hot. I think you guys will probably guess which the other one is... More on that later |

Way better than "The Repair Shop" on TV ......and there's just as much emotion when the owners get their pride and joy back

I do like the idea of a badge or certificate saying it’s been D2 Doctor certified
