Hello! Here trying to keep the old girl alive

A forum for new members to introduce themselves to the rabble already onboard. Not compulsory!
Tell us a little about yourself, lie if you have to but keep it to just an introduction, not a car discussion.

Hello! Here trying to keep the old girl alive

Post by Archstanton »

Hi My name is Arch

I have an 2002 Belingo Multispace 1.9 Diesel ( Bright blue with a Gold roof rack ;-) and I love it!! Its part of the family, its crossed swollen rivers .... ok perhaps they were streams, fields, hillsides and occasionally we use it on roads, just to treat it.

As she gets older and parts get rarer its harder to keep her on the road, but we keep going and finding solutions, perhaps the French Car Forum could help I thought!?!? So here I am.

Cheers Arch

Hi Arch and :welc:

You have joined the best place to be on the net. Have a look round from the Board Index above and join in whatever intrigues you. The Off Topic Chat Lounge has much to entertain, educate and even amuse you so make the most of it!! :-D

Hi, and :welc: to the Forum.

It is worth cultivating your local scrap yard. Many members have kept their vehicles on the road by getting used parts when new parts are no longer available (or the suppliers are expecting you to pay exorbitant prices). I know I have!
