Re: and today i have mostly been...
Two stroke advice please guys... Cheap B&Q chainsaw. Less than 5 hours on it but about 2 years old. Starts and idles fine, as soon as you touch the throttle it floods and cuts out. Doesn't matter if it's on full, half or no choke. Can't work it out for the life of me? Air filter and spark plug are ...

Re: 2.0. v 2.2 Hdi engines.
Thanks for that. I collected my sons car from Telford and driving back here it averaged well over 60 mpg and went well, this was about what I was getting from my first 406 2.0. I'm impressed. I had a look on line for a 2.2 406 but there don't seem to be any, and if there were I would probably get o...

Re: 2.0. v 2.2 Hdi engines.
My HDI 110 gave around 49 in general running around. That was mostly 9 or 10 mile trips on windy country A roads, to nearest towns, plus occasional 3 mile trips to local supermarket. I didn't do much motorway driving in it. What I did do was always around 70mph, or more. I think at 70, I was getting...

Re: MOT history gap
Off the road.., SORNED..? Some nightmare problem that the owner couldn't get to the bottom of for ages..? When I look at the DVLA MOT histories I tend to screen out the cars that have long gaps like that, also the ones that repeatedly have advisories and fails for worn tyres, on the basis that if th...

Re: Mondeo 2.0/2,2 tdci
I'd never go near an older Ford of any description. They are just not quality built cars, the old nickname..'Dagenham dustbin' sums them up, for me. They don't survive the miles. My rolling project car, MX5 MK1, was succeeded by the MK2, at which point Ford took a heavy shareholding in Mazda, and ba...

Re: and today i have mostly been...
Way back when, '80's, I owned a Honda CX500. They were notorious for timing chain problems.
A new one completely transformed it from a horrible, noisy, lumpy old nail into a really nice
touring bike.

Re: GDPR emails
I love the BBC review, sounds right tasty does that :shock: They sell a lot of dried cod here (bakalar), it looks like knackered old chamois leathers hanging up in the supermarket. Max says it's delicious but takes a hell of a lot of cooking. I suspect rather like stone soup https://en.wikipedia.or...

Re: Mondeo 2.0/2,2 tdci
Went to look at the 2.2 Titanium X Sport estate today,bit disappointed to be honest.2010 on a 10 plate wit 104k on the clock,the seller neglected to tell me that the EML had been on for the past 15 months (but not in limp mode) also that a transit van had sideswiped the n/s rear wheel arch and scra...

Re: GDPR emails
With me, it's more a case of trying to do the right thing by my customers. Every person on the email list is someone who buys, or has made a purchase. No signing up for newsletters, no bought in email lists. In marketing terms, someone making a purchase was generally considered to be an opt-in. Now ...

Re: GDPR emails
I thought the whole idea was "hey we're telling you this so it's up to you what you do about it" but similarly "we did tell you" and "if you don't respond you're agreeing to...." etc...??? Moreover, what's this retail site of yours?? :D Yes, that's likely how I'll interpret it. Site is.. https://ww...

Re: GDPR emails
Over the last 10+ years, I've run a couple of small one man band retail websites, and accumulated a lot of customers and their email addresses. One of the sites I allowed to fade. The other is current. With the latter, there's a lot of customers who have ordered repeatedly from me. I've sent out the...

Re: 7 seater wanted
I seem to recall that van rentals are quite cheap on weekends. Have you considered perhaps a white Transit, with some added comfort options for the passengers ? http://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/garage-equipment/garage-essentials/rolson-6-piece-floor-mat-set-120-x-180cm?cm_mmc=Google+PLA-_-Gara...

Re: Warning to Photobucket Users
I've never had a Photobucket account, but noticed this on MX5 forum yesterday..... "... Photobucket looks to have a new management team in place. The huge fees that were introduced a while ago have now been reduced by about 95% and all old 3rd party hosted images in forums across the world have been...

Re: Peugeot 508 2.2HDi GT - talk to me...
I just think that if manufacturers are going through hoops, DPF's , and I understand Bosch say they have found some new way to make things cleaner......, all for a fuel which is basically dirty, I just think all that energy, R&D, manufacturing.... is going in the wrong direction. In a time when ever...
