I use an out of date Garmin, love hearing recalculating on the sections that have been bypassed

Would you adam & eve it??? Came across a mint condition replacement wing this weekend for a just a drink, shame it's not chianti red but needless to say that will now be going on the mav instead.

I'm with SAGA (Send A Granny Away) fully comp, breakdown cover and legal assistance for £210 PLUS they mirrored my NCD to my Skoda Octavia as a second car, I have that for £35 a quarter fully comp. My two transits have risen this year sorry to say. Last year I paid £2110.60 This year £2226.26...

A Transit is a Transit, well proven. I'm running two N reg Transit midibuses with 2.5 non turbo diesels at the moment, both over 230,000 miles. As long as they are reguarly serviced they are bulletproof. The only problem was with the Lucas Epic pump used briefly on the 2.5TD, it had a tendancy...

She Who Must Be Obeyed tells me my Maverick sounds like a hamster is in it's wheel when coming down the road, WD 40 on the power steering belt quietens it down but a new belt is the only solution for my peace of mind, until then I tell her if she can hear me arriving, there's no excuse for not...

No luck finding a replacement wing so here we go DIY style. Too much rot to use the quick option of Tiger Seal, so welding new metal is the only secure way to go. First the rot is removed and new horizontal metal tacked in place. Next the hole is bridged with vertical plates Now all welded...

A new employee is hired at the "Tickle Me Elmo" (a cuddly toy which laughs when tickled) factory. The Personnel Manager explains her duties and tells her to report to work promptly at 8.00am. The next day at 8.45am there is a knock at the Personnel Manager's door. The assembly line foreman...

The previous owner spent a small fortune on the Maverick I bought from him just six days ago, (I know, I have the receipts), even though a lift pump was replaced along with filters, the poor running problem eluded the garage. Now to quote Oddball in the film Kelley's Heros...."I only drive...

Never used them tyres Rustic, but the original GHs were crossply, later radials. I had the sticker on my first motorbike when I was 16 and it kind of grew on me. I adopted the name as a CB handle when on the trucks and eventually asked Dunlop if i could have their permission to use the graphic...

Thank you all for the welcome, I've spent part of this morning finding my spanners and sockets before attempting to rectify the running problem. With download 10 etched into my memory I tackled the battery, power steering pump and finally the banjo bolt. (one thing missing from the list of...

I get Tiger Seal from my local automotive finishing supplier, they only sell to the trade so may have to get your friendly garage to order it for you :naughty

I'm faced with the same task, o/s front wing but am considering a different approach,by attaching new metal to the rear of the wing with "Tiger Seal", which i've used on other vehicles, once cured it's there forever, then apply the filler and finish off. Hopefully I can get a good match for...

Never mind the Reliant...I remember the Bond. Lift bonnet and kick start the engine when the battery was flat.:lol

Thanks, tenner duly paid, I had heard about the banjo filter problem but nice to see the illustrated guide, not so daunting a task.

Hello all I'm Bob, semi retired through health not wealth. I run a school bus to earn a crust. My pastimes are photography, occasional motorcycle riding (weather permitting) on my BMW flying brick and short camping/caravan breaks. Getting into my saloon was getting difficult so I've switched to...
