Go for it Dai. Always worth applying anyway as you can always say no thanks if you change your mind when you get it.

Nowt wrong with a Vauxhall when its as reliable & economical as mine is. Much as I liked my 406, it used to cost me a bomb in maintenance as there was always something at MOT time. Meanwhile I have 2 friends with VWs. The 99 Golf has had a full top end rebuild after a cambelt slip & the 07 Passat ha...

It was a weird combination of events that led to the 407 incident really. As it was my 1st official day driving (although I'd been out on deliveries when we were short) I was out with the driver-trainer. I had a heavy day (5 drops in Wales & Glos), wasn't familiar with the area & leading up to the r...

Well, 4 weeks in & all seems to be ok so far. Had a very shaky 1st day where I wrote off a poor woman's 407 while trying to get across a roundabout that I was unfamiliar with & was also under roadworks, but all been ok since. Days are longer now - usually finishing at 3pm after a 4am start now, but ...

Hi Stu, congratulations on the house.. :cheesy: Job wise, I think staying put and doing what you prefer for an extra 4K a year is a good choice, if you move to the CO-OP then you would have to learn a whole new set of rules/regimes/idiots.... How does the missus feel about the different hours? The ...

Pick up the keys to the house sometime before 4:30pm Tues (as specific as they could be) so going to move as many of the boxes after work during the week as we can & have a big blitz with the furniture on Sat & Sun with a 7.5t truck. On the job side of things, it got a little hazy over the past coup...

Disappointed I couldn't make it, but hopefully next year things will be more settled for me & I may be able to bring the little man with me (who's a lot less little since most of you saw him when we went to Gaydon). Eric's getting to be a dab hand at that hillclimb course now. That vid looks noticea...

Good news Stu.. :cheesy: 2015 has been a year of change for you, new house, new job with more money etc. Best of luck. You will have to put a name tag in the windscreen so I can wave. I'm told that nobody has the same truck, so I can't really do any "decorating", but with my bald head I'm fairly ea...

2015 is a real year of change for me now. Not only are we moving into our new part-buy house next month, but on 3rd August I'll be starting a new job. I've been at my current workplace for 14 years come July, but the last 3 years as a manager have been an "experience" & I've been looking for a chang...

I'm now pretty much a cert not to be able to make, which is a shame, but can't be helped.

House is now predicted to be completed week commencing 6th July which means we'll most likely be moving in on the weekend of 11th July now.

Ideally I'd like to sell as a job lot, but it all needs to go, so if you just want the head unit, make me an offer. Would you need it posting or are you relatively local (Hampshire)?

Reckoned it'd end up being an Ebay job anyway, but would have been handier to get rid of one big joblot (including the PSA bits). Worst comes to the worst, the teenager has 2 years before he's old enough to drive & if he ever tears himself away from the Playstation long enough to learn & earn, his w...

Don't think I have a patch lead, but I wouldn't be overly surprised if I found one in the shed. Best to assume not though as there are so many different types for Peugeots & Citroens anyway - had a nightmare when I had to get one for the Partner. CD changer just takes it's feed from the stereo. It's...

I've just fitted a bluetooth stereo into the Zafira & am selling my old Sony head unit, but I've actually amassed a fair bit of car stereo bits over the years & seeing as there's very little chance that I'll be doing much in the way of In Car Entertainment for a long long time now, I may as well cle...

That is pretty much the same story as every time I try to do anything on any car I have ever owned. I can do interior swaps & bits of trim fairly easily, but any time that I have ever tried to do anything mechanical there has always been a bolt I couldn't get off or something I couldn't get at. Fair...
