Yup ive felt like that plenty of times, if you start doing little jobs first, nouthing more rewarding then doing a little thing that makes a big differance, i find it gives you that boost to start doing the bigger jobs.

There has been progress, will update a bit later

sure your aloud to tow just over half the weight of your own vehicle , if you get caught youl need 2 cars recovering, not one, or they may just seize them both if your on the motorway etc to get you off, hence alot of people towing big caravans with small/medium sized cars are breaking the law too. ...

Cheers everyone for the comments, and i got it for £450, been stood all that time as it had a missfire, now put that down to the fact theres no compression in cylinder 1, its either the piston, or a valve, but either way i have enough bits to sort it thankfully. seams rather solid underneith, either...

hmmm, so it doesent exactly wash any dirt away? never tried it myself but id be wanting to give the car a good claying session after. suppose it works well if the car is reasnably clean, id still feel like im rubbing the dirt in though myself. mite give it a go though.

Heres pics an stuff of excavating the satin red cav T with a member from vodc who offerd to come help , man he was a godsend then had a quick look around it once it was back. wheels had sank in about 2 inches so we had to dig them out abit, still had air in all 4 after 4+years http://i229.photobucke...

thinking of running a f20 for a while, rather then the f28 an locked txb , reason for the f20 is i cant afford a fully working f28 at the moment, and i really want to get it up and running. Thing to bear in mind, is the power rating of the gearbox. The numbers after the F identify how much torque t...
