At the weekend the car started to sound more 'performance' than it really is. Although the hole in the back box (deemed a drain hole where none existed but passed two mot's!) had been increasing in size, this sounded worse :scratch . Since I'm unable to get that low anymore I visited KF yesterday wi...

I don't know how i missed this post, nice selection of vehicles. I might get to a show this year but for now it's the stuff i see on shopping trips a couple of times a week. This is a month's worth :( . Since we've ended with vans i'll start there. https://i.postimg.cc/tJCPm5BL/vlcsnap-2023-06-30-02...

As usual, I do not know whether to revert to original LS spec without hearests, or to have the headrests to coincide with the SRi seats. For my tuppence worth, do you need the extra couple of inches in height in the load area space that's afforded by the plain one? If not I'd stick with the headres...

What a varied collection :thumb I'd completely forgotten phone cards, I think they used to be collectable. That car phone looks like a house phone, I can't imagine a family car it wouldn't look out of place in :scratch . I only started driving in 1987, i think i got the best years, no lez's or anpr ...

Nice lathe work. I miss my engineering apprenticeship days, creating something from nothing with 1-2 thou tolerances. Happy times :D First rule of apprentice school- always check the oily coolant nozzle isn't directed towards you when you switch the power on :lol: I can see it being a 'fun' gimick a...

- From an earlier post of mine, with the heatshield off: https://i.postimg.cc/9fJdvR0H/Screenshot-104.png The trombone slide as i like to call it, is attached to the manifold by two torx bolts so if the manifold absolutely has to be replaced(which I doubt) it shouldn't cost any more. I must admit I ...

I seen one here in Finland but it's 160 Euros though so pricey but looks to be new. https://www.tori.fi/uusimaa/836719_imuilmaletku_Opel_107087337.htm Thanks, I'm impressed you found that, what a price! The paint-pen makes me think it's used, it looks a bit aged :scratch Having exhausted duckduckgo...

Hmm - Deja Vue.... I could have sworn that I had read this post before today. Strange.... Funny you should say that. I was sure I'd written a similar one last week, linking to an earlier post of mine relating to the same problem. When i went back to it a few days later all that was left was the quo...

Can't believe it's been three months since i posted here! The car ran really smoothly up until mot time but things went a bit downhill after that. The eml started coming on at start-up, more frequently than before :roll: . My first thought was the crimped connectors for the modified cam sensor - tha...

Still looking really nice, it's scrubbed up well

It looks as good as it did when it went into semi retirement, it'll definitely stand out at VBOA.

Good luck

Are they illegal? The rule is that they must not extend beyond the body, and there is a small arch extension there. Probably sitting in a grey area as it meets the rule, but tread is still exposed from the car. Good question. Looking at it with fresh (and more nostalgic) eyes I'd say it's definitel...

I saw a range rover in that :sick beige colour and on foreign plates. No pic though, I can't remember where it was that means there's a lot of 5min clips to check :roll: This escort looked almost new on passing. I couldn't see any flaws, not bad for a twenty-two year old van. https://i.postimg.cc/rz...

I don't mind generic pics but do expect different part numbers, not the case in this advert.

That seems to be the case up here but I'm sure I read recently that after a grace period in london blue badge holders will have to pay £12.50 if their cars aren't compliant after an appointed date. London's Ulez's are nothing more than a money making exercise under the guise of climate change, sadly...

I think I've worked it out now.

Their tax checker will be more comprehensive than joe public's, it probably showed them the car being in the disabled tax band.
It still has to be registered though as far as I can tell.

88L, star silver 1 met (91-97) will be the original, the other two are later.

I wasn't sure about starting a new thread so it's a resurrection. Here's the thing. Glasgow's LEZ starts in June and now that there's finally an online link to register for blue badge exemption there isn't one for vehicles over 30yrs. I know that doesn't affect me yet but it would be nice if the web...

This one had me baffled until i did a little digging. The thing that first caught my eye was the black number plate https://i.postimg.cc/j512pP20/BMW-TRIBUTE-250-SWB2crop.jpg next was the badging, I didn't know that model of ferrari even existed. https://i.postimg.cc/KcKDR5nT/BMW-TRIBUTE-250-SWB2cro...

Pheasant and venison on your doorstep. You're making me hungry :lol: I've got the same problem with air leaks on two tyres, coincidentally where hammer on weights :o were fitted on holiday by a country garage. My wheels are long overdue a refurb, they've been tatty for ages but the oxidising weights...

Way back when range rovers were the biggest car on the road I used to see one like this. It didn't really catch on, I wonder why :lol: https://i.postimg.cc/jd72VvWq/twin-axle-range-rover-crop.jpg --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Sorry that it's too late, a three inch wide strip of quarter inch foam would disguise the bolt heads.

Good to see the old girl's getting attention

Could you remove it and weld it at Troy's?

I know what you mean about ebay, I've still got parts bought twenty years ago for a previous cav! I'd say slap the underseal on, the more the better and ignore the tester's findings. I've had an mot mention twice about not being able to assess properly because of excessive underseal. Both times the ...

It must have been a relief when cleaning solved the smoke problem. Good luck for the mot!
