Re: Matts CDX - Work In Progress.
Last year I renewed with GA (aviva) because I was happy with their service when the car was hit, and felt for the sake of a twenty quid saving by the meerkat to an unknown company it was worth it. I fear thing will be different this year. I was reading last week that drivers over 50 would experience...

Re: Stuff we've seen on the road
I thought I'd seen it all last year with the snowman biker but this year was definitely better. I was nearly home and sitting at lights when the lead car, a 4x4, at the right of the crossroads caught my eye. Hard to miss really, around the roof there were loads of flashing coloured lights, that's wh...

Re: Matts CDX - Work In Progress.
I must be getting old, i'm actually ok with the wait, in hind sight. During the snow the phone recording said 'if you're at home or in a snowdrift etc you may not receive an appointment due to unprecedented demand for our service' - or something like that :D That's when I thought fair enough, I'll t...

Are you having an early night
You're making good progress there Rob. Will the epas mod push you onto a Q plate?

Re: Matts CDX - Work In Progress.
I picked up the car today, it wasn't exactly the happy feeling i was expecting though, partly due to cost. How much! :o Although it was dark the ignition didn't feel right , it felt recessed, turns out it was. Steering wouldn't lock but key wouldn't turn, a quick spray of graphite oil soon released ...

Re: Matts CDX - Work In Progress.
It's been an interesting week. I parked up Monday night after using the car twice. Next day it refused to start(strong year-old battery) and the AA was contacted with the(not very good) app, then cancelled by me after a series of updates that took my time from 16.20 to eventually 21.25 by a second p...

Re: Rear Chassis Frame Leg Sections
Happy to help
I think christmas has gotten easier for me over the years, the older I get the less i need/want and the family are happy with recent changes- 'cards for adults, gifts for children', it removes a lot of financial pressure from them.

I only looked here because asc was able to supply spring seats (after i'd had them made up because they weren't available anywhere at the time) so thought worth bookmarking.

Re: Toyota Yaris 1.3 CDX (2002).
Cannot grumble at that price. Just in time before the proper cold weather arrives, to kill off any old or tired batteries. In years gone by, I have run the Cavalier on electric wheelchair batteries. Not ideal, as they are more like "leisure" batteries, but they have got me out of a fix a ...

Re: My VERY RUSTY VW T25 Camper Van Project
Nice work, both of you.
It's always more satisfying making your own parts, usually of thicker metal, than fettling thin copy panels.
As the saying goes, "Proper Job" - scrapheap challenge

Re: Stuff we've seen on the road
It's funny you should say that.
I thought exactly the same. So much that i checked all my postimages galleries then the topic followed by a hard drive search before posting, and i couldn't find it.
I wonder if there's a tv ad somewhere i've picked up on subliminally
