Wha? I tried 3 times to post that, in the end it came up on the wrong thread! I don't think it's the new board's fault either, I think I need to go and lie down or something.

Either that or a fridge.

Yeah, sure, don't forget to add the 25% of their estimated value import tax, plus 22% tax. And don't forget that RHD cars sell like stone cold cakes with mould on.

I've done some checking...

Argh! Cars in the UK are just soo cheap. From the Plavi Oglasnik (that's Blue Advertiser to you):

P-406 coupe 3.0 V6, 98.g., 130000 km, all equipment, irreproachable condition, £5,452.57

I hate you all!

Put it in the paper for a silly price, if it goes, wayhay! If it don't then it's next year. Cars sell easier in the spring too so I wouldn't sweat it too hard.

Not managed to do that.

I've read somewhere that it's very important to change the air filter on a diesel. Will investigate.

Running problems, you say...

Apparantly they do exist, they're only on for a fraction of a second (or not at all if it's warm) when it's above zero. There's a light too, don't blink or you'll miss it.

Oh yeah, only one ignition key that actually works. Cheapskates.

Perhaps it needs to see a shrink... :P Yeah yeah, no more nails, superglue, baked beans tin, sticky back plastic and some ordinary household bleach... Sooo won't last very long!

Take newish rear disks from D8 to put on D9, take warped disks from D9 and shove back on D8 without touching anything or worrying about old pads, turn adjusters 'til brakes lock, back off a bit without caring much.

open the bonnet and get a friend to put the hand brake on and two big bricks in front of the tyres and try and pull away untill the point where the car is almost stalling All the time remembering just which car you're standing in front of...

It's like everything that's wrong with my eyes, only more so. I can't even read it!
