Damned Brexit

Do you need a trailer Eric,what about a towing dolly something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EX-AA-RAC-TO ... Sw4GJdCP2n

Eric,can't you use a Bypass relay kit and standard wiring and save a few quid over the dedicated wiring? I fitted one to my BMW when i wired up the towbar,o.k. it doesn't turn off the rear fog when towing or cancel the rear parking sensors but i've never once towed in the fog and as you say you can ...

It needs an o/s front wing due to laquer peel which makes it look a bit shabby,on the plus side it's had new front springs and strut top bearings,new rear wheel bearings/hubs,cambelt,water pump etc,new radiator,new rad fan (not cheap),new exhaust from cat back,and everything works except for the A/C...

I still have my Exec Estate although to be honest i hardly ever use it now and it is sat in next doors garage,i can't bear to part with it as it's probably not worth much at 163k miles but it starts.stops as it should and i've changed most things that need changing but realisticaly it's worth peanut...

i saw one today,a mItsubishi Shogun,took me a bit by suprise as i looked at it and thought "19" plate whats that all about then realised it was March,in the old days when August the 1st came round it seemed to be a special day but not now.

It looks to me a bit like the revs rise and fall when the clutch pedal is being depressed and released?

I know your looking at French Eric but what about a Mondeo diesel estate,it's still a DW10 engine.

I've still got mine at 164k,bought an 11 plate 2.2 Mondeo estate to replace it but keep finding excuses to keep it.

Happy Christmas to all the members,still can't part with my old 406.

It is my understanding that even with the old MOT rules if the car was deemed "dangerous" by the MOT tester it would have got an off the road notice and could not legally be driven no matter how much of the old MOT was left, I should have said in my original post that if the car fails on a non "dang...

I was going to part with it since i got the Mondeo but i keep finding excuses to keep it and now it's got a years ticket on it there's another excuse

My Estate went straight through the MOT today with just a couple of advisories :D ,i was chatting to the tester and i said to him that i believe if the car had failed then it would then be illegal to drive it from then on although it still had 2 weeks of the original MOT to run,he said that is a com...

In my experience once a thread has picked up it's game over,it's a weird phenomena no amount of force will undo it but it will do up again,not really a feesable option but the only way i can see to save the threads in the crank is to drill the bolt out.

I had exactly the same problem with my drivers rear door on my estate some months ago,i wish i had changed the door lock mechanism when it was just "playing up" and openong on occasions but it failed shut totally in the end.The door card was reasonably easy to remove with the seat base removed with ...
