A certain group of individuals i think he means :pac:

The brother has a 08 diesel accord. Recently he's been able to knock it out of reverse with the slightest touch of the gear stick. Not normal so not good. So lads, what's wrong with it? Linkage? Clutch?

Oh yeah I forgot about yours. How is it going any progress. You should move it to a motor electrician or motor electronic expert rather than in a body shop.

You'd fit plenty of copper in the back of a Pajero

I can testify to that

GvidoR

That's one of the reasons I like 70's - 90's cars. Little to no electronics.

It aint going :pac:

It's getting more diagnostics done Friday so right now it's good where it is, after that it's down to a specialist if we can't narrow it someway, right now I'm hoping it's the DME, if it is I can just get one in a scrappy and code it to the car.

Sure did, it was spectacularly filthy & ran like pure sh1t, it could barely break 60km/h when I got it. I was a bit eager - but I saw potential.

It's a good yoke now though, hope it gets some way looked after, I've put hundreds of hours and tens of euros into it...

I'm sure it was! Smelled good too I'd say. :eek:

Got the VX running today. Panicked for a bit when it wasn't getting spark but the plugs weren't fully in. Ordered a service kit for it there earlier, and a vinyl roof. Off to a good start anyway.

spotted you driving the corolla on the priorswood rd earlier- me in the kinda green e36 flashed you;):pac:

Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime

I had to park it there. Sure the car park is empty and it won't fit in the drive through no matter how hard i try

Went over to a friends house there and took the m7, where i met a lovely subaru legacy (i think) and we proceeded to play match the speed all the way up the m7 :pac:

So if you are the owner of a 05 red dual exhaust legacy, I salute you sir!

Booked my Panda in for its first NCT early (due in June). I waited til after 11.30 and got a date for 2 weeks time.

I find when you put the money into the engine via the oil fill cap, it works better

Jesus Christ. Someone posted this 1.0 Corsa for sale.



and someone wants to swap this e39 520 for it.

166man

Wonder how much that Corsa is.....so I could buy it and burn it. Hideous isn't even the word...

Foxhole Norman

Probably because the E39 is fecked at that price :pac:

It's open to offers, didn't see any mention of a price. And yes, it looks awful.
