thats according to mot standards but the police (who will have pulled you over) work on the other premis, ie if its failed it is dangerous to drive regardless of an old valid certificate. after all the mot is only safe/legal on the day of the test. eg a tyre within wear limit at test time will...

id say go for it, it will save a lot of cash/ hassle in the future and will up the worth of your house if you have off street parking, as well as lower your car insurance:clap:clap. at my last house i made a concrete ramp to get my bike up and down without damaging the fairing, people complained...

my mate had his scooby knicked and used in a ramraid, they cut the handbrake and used one of those dollys like the AA have. its on cctv and took less than 2 mins! proffesional criminals. A bloke i used to work with had a mitsubishi animal with all the extras including alloys imported from usa...

i dont like it, after all that effort it just doesnt seem worth while. but each to their own i guess, some people dont like knobbly tyres and snorkles!! :augiei know really!!!!:naughty

a huge buck jumped over the guardrail and landed on my uncles metro last year. stopped him dead, pushed the engine into the floor about 3"deep and squashed everything forward of the A pillar. then it stood up and wandered off. deer 1-metro 0.

in these situations nothing needs to be said, just to be there with him when he needs you is enough. different people react to death in different ways and timescales and the important thing is to allow everyone to come to terms in their own time. im sorry for your loss, vince

its an easy enough job to do if you have a balljoint remover and a big hammer:naughty. i drove up onto a couple of breeze blocs at the front to save jacking. the n/s (left if your in the car) can be done without removing the wheel, just put it on full lock. i had to remove the o/s wheel to get...

mine just rolled over to 160,000 today. but i suspect it was run without a speedo cable for a long while as old mots show it doing about 50-100 miles between tests but there are reciepts for consumables??!!?? still running and uses no engine oil.

i was trawling the tinterweb for pics and came across this. (not literally i might add!!!!)

iv used it loads when on special offer at asda (2x6l bottles for £10) and never had any ill-effects, i also use rapeseed oil and the ktc soya stuff with the e900 in it. i think these old diesel engines will run on anything!

im getting to be a bit of an expert at this now:doh, first remove the oil dipstick,(the one for checking the oil, im not being rude:lol) then remove the plug and the main strap on the nut then also remove the plug that connects to the engine block just above the starter, then if you remove the...

i dont use 4wd that often, and surely if its on a loose surface 20mm of tread isnt going to make that much difference.
