Hmmm, mine had been plated quite badly on the inner wing there, plate was seam welded from underneath, probably to save moving the servo. When I had the front apart, that area still sounded solid when whacked with a hammer so I simply added a ton of seam sealer over the old inner wing to stop...

Surely the main type of trailer being objected to here is the naff, rotten, trailers with knackered bearings, bald tyres and no or non existent brakes. Most of these items are already covered by our laws, so why do we need new ones to cause even more agro? Chances are it'll only apply to...

Glad she's back in business, always worth keeping a small jerry can of diesel on standby in the shed for the odd winter morning.

Probably find that the block will have 'warmed' enough during the day for it to cough back to life as it is, I've had a few near misses last winter where my WVO/diesel ratio was a bit out. Luckily the battery is fairly recent so it's managed to splutter to life each time. Have occasionally...

Have you checked to make sure there is actually any space left on the drive you are downloading to? Try to download something tiny to see, and try different locations on the machine in case you've lost the rights to save in the default one?

I'd slap some diesel in there just to get things running, quick way to force her to start would be to whip off the fuel filter, tip it out and refill with diesel, reattach and prime up. Should fire on that.

Beat me to it, what he said.

looks like in theory you can, but many CC companies will try and duck out of the agreement unless forced: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/section75-protect-your-purchases Haven't heard of someone having tried, so no idea if I'm spouting nonsense now.....I'll get me coat...

Credit card protection doesn't apply when used via Paypal - at least, fairly sure that's the case.

Something you might want to take in mind Ryan is respective fuel economies of the different vehicles you are interested in. Being a teenager stuck in the dark side of Scotland, you're bound to end up running up a reasonable number of miles each year. This argument probably adds fuel to the T2...

Got mine from ebay too, think I did ok, but I had a mate I trust check it out for me as he was in Manchester for work at the time. If you can get someone who knows a bit about the type of vehicle have a nosy first then you'd probably feel better about it. It all depends on how much your...

You'll soon find when it's getting colder the car will be lumpy on start up. The older non intercooler ones have a hand throttle that's great for solving that little issue. Best way to learn ratios, is keep a few little jars outside with oil mixed at different levels, but generally you'll need...

Mine is similar vintage to an L reg and the towbar on mine isn't like that either - could it be for a Terrano I not Terrano II?, or am I being blond - is that what a R3M is!

Pretty much, but far better MP£ :D

Stop moaning, some of us feel lucky to have what hair we have left!

Yep, with SVO, slug it all in and petrol/diesel will mix without any shaking of the car, but driving around like a loon to 'mix it a bit' is a bit fun, especially when you've saved so much on a tank full.

Theory I had heard was that in the early days the main fuel filter was a paper based product and if left too long could start to break down, hence the need for a mini mesh filter as a last line of defence. Dunno if that's true or not, but I think most of them left the factory with some sort of...

Same here for getting the bolt undone, but my mini filter was a tiny basket filter surprisingly deep down in the pump. I made a tiny hook on the end of the piece of metal usually used to reinforce a wiper blade - long enough to reach without removing anything. Also, I got a extending magnetic...

So, what you're saying Ryan is that you've fixed it beyond repair?

My neighbour uses a winch, but got a newer winch a couple of years back as her chair was a bit heavy for the previous one. I was going to try and see if I could make use o it, but I'm 100% certain they'd be happy for me to send it down to you Pete if you get another truck.
