Thanks Jasper, will keep an eye on those things. Had a first chance to have a really good look at it yesterday, can't find anything of note wrong with it at all so for. Service history is poor but it's clearly been serviced recently, oil filter looks new and the oil is clean (although it has been ov...

Well lookie here, a fred about cars for young uns! I'm considerably tighter than you Welters and had set myself a budget of £500 max for my boy's first car. Been keeping a lazy eye out, well he isn't 17 until June, half thinking that if we got something sooner I'll run around in it and save the Vulv...

Welcome aboard my brother from another mother

But where would you place the Axle Standz? Under the lower suspension arm, that'd be fine. I realised that where I have the jack positioned there I can jack it up high enough that the back wheel comes off the ground too, so I can change both wheels on either side with one jacking point. Also becaus...

There's a cross member there with very convenient shape ideal for a trolley jack. I'm always very conscious of wher...

It's that time again.

Also Jasper5's old mowtah and Peter64's new mowtah. Had a great facebook chat with Peter this afternoon talking about my old 406 HPi Exectutive Estate which he's now managed to wrestle from his brother John :lol: I'm delighted to hear that the old bus is going from strength to strength and is safe i...

I'm pretty sure that both front doors need to be working but the back doors just need to be secure. Of course, if Mr Tester decides that he needs to access the rear cabin area for any reason (e.g. to check the seatbelts) and he can't open the door then he might get pissy.

I never knowed that neither. :o 406's don't, but I see that Mr Rees's conveyance has. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff162/DaiaRees/20140415_083029_zpsbaxx4rix.jpg Sure it's not a Volvo thing, what with their target market being experienced motorists who may be apt to forget things? Indeed lol!...

Awesome work that man!

I've been looking at your your "for sale" posting for the black one on farcebook.... OOOOhhhhhhhhhh I want a coupe!!!!!! (can't have a diesel though )

It is considerably less hassle, much more convenient and better paid, fixed hours with some flexibility if needed, and only 10 mins walk from home. Sounds ideal but it has it's problems (as I'm sure all jobs do). Not wishing to whinge here but it's a really weird place to work. There's poor communic...

So been back in work 3 and half days (early finish Fridays) and the Christmas break is already a long forgotten memory. I never manage to get any sleep on Sunday nights (although t'was Monday night this week of course). I'm generally a bit more rested after the weekend so my brain goes "you don't ne...

Thursday finish then off until the 3rd.

Had 2, still miss the second one. Would still love to have a coupe at some point but I fear they're getting to the age where the good ones are too expensive and the cheap ones are too far gone...
