Still here! 360's hardly being used this year due to the whole coronavirus situation. GLS on the road but trying to diagnose a noise from the rear end, could be the diff

Great, both. I'm still using my blues every day. The precious red one has been resting but I'm going to start on it today. What sort of rear-end noise ;-?

Hi folks, yes I'm here regularly sapping up what I can from the many useful posts. Now had my 360 approx 14 months and still smiling! It's running much better these days thanks to the advice on here but sadly not as many miles covered this year due to Covid and unexpected brake issues that took me a while to sort. All good now though but she is going to be sorned for the winter as of this weekend... mot is up in a couple of weeks so may as well get all November's tax back lol.... radiator, water pump, hoses and gauges planned for over the winter...
Cheers Dave

Still here. Sadly my 340 has been SORN since March as I don't need to keep 7 cars taxed when I'm driving once a week on average...

I'm still here!! I can't be bothered with Facebook and My 340LE has been absolutely behaving herself this year so I haven't been on here for a while.
Hope you are all well.

Hello, I seem to have missed miguisr20's post on 2 Nov, sorry. Great that all going OK. I've not looked at the news stories but maybe the 360 will be mobile again on Tuesday. I've not been driving in the lockdown and guess I won't be if we're still in tier 3.
