So here I am, fully equipped with Winter Tyres and what happens? mild weather that's what. I reckon I've only seen Ice in the morning twice maybe? this year. This is not good enough, if February doesn't bring me some Schnow I'm gonna get quite cross and start tutting loudly. But if you tell everyon...

you've heard of the polar vortex plonking itself over canada/N.E Usa in the tabloids couple of weeks back? This is pouring cold air out into a relatively warm Atlantic , creating deep depressions that wing themselves at us,hit the wall that is the scandinavian high pressure (aka scandy block) keepin...

the lift pump under the seats has a plastic "top" thing on it with two pipes that need disconnecting. undo the plastic "top" you may need to GENTLY tap with a screwdriver to get it started. this unscrews and the whole pump unit comes out allowing a hose to be used for syphoning. Man i cranked the en...

Remove back seat remove lift pump and syphon out there is another way but its risky with a petrol so im not mentioning that. ithink it will have auntysyphon so no use trying getting pipe down neck of tank, (how about removing filler neck off tank and sending apipe in that way ??) thats exactly how ...

realistically i would think the tank has got to be dropped and emptied. syphoning is good for removing the bulk of any liquid in there but you don't want ANY water being left in the tank once emptied i'd also be inclined to leave it a couple of days to fully evaporate and pray that turning the engin...

Combi boilers don't need the tanks so they will go. combi works by heating the water as you use it so as soon as a hot tao is on it will heat that water and when switched off so does the boiler. much more energy efficient . we currently have an old gas back boiler which is thirsty but while it works...

Practically given the v6's away lol. Pick one up for about a grand. but these are 2001 _2002 which did suffer some niggles which wers ironed out 03 onwards.the diesels hold their price for obvious reasons insurance is not a prob for me . I've put loads of quotes through comparison sites from the jag...

I've been lookin at these too in 2.5 v6 guise.. again the ford duratec engine in the petrols = bullet proof. early ones upto 2002 had a few problems so just waiting for the 2003 onwards to drop into the price range and i might go and have a serious look about. 1700 quid for a diesel one is good, if ...
