Hi, if you press back on your browser you'll see another thread about a DAF 66 estate, well this is the same car, I'm just the new owner.

Bought it in August and have been enjoying it's quirkiness since, however, I've noticed a problem has developed (I think), so I'll start another thread, but thought I'd introduce myself first.

I'm Gez, I live over in Kent, this is my first DAF, my daily driver is a 1990 Renault 5 automatic.

Can't upload photos from my phone, but there's a few on the previous owners thread.

Aah, I've noticed a Volvo sticker on the bonnet, and that its a slightly different shade of white! Doesn't bother me though, the bodywork isn't exactly mint, more characterful.

I have posted in the technical bit, and had a reply, I'm just a bit busy to fix it at the mo!
