My mates transit ended up in Uganda after they rebuilt the entire engine. A lad who exports them over to his country told us he bought 100's of them transits here and got them to Uganda where they rebuild them were needed and use them for at least another 5-10 years :D

These lads only buy the old type vans like transporters, transits they go mad for them..

They refuse to buy any of the updated crap :P:D

I don't think any of the modern yokes will last as long as that transit.

I wonder if the Met Tractor unit is for a campaign for blind spots?

I do recall the Central Motorways Police Group had some sort of Tractor ( - trailer) trying to catch out lorry drivers on their phones/playing solitaire/cooking while driving.

The Met fund themselves by giving driving courses as well

.....we have also trained officers from abroad including Australia, Finland, Ireland and Cyprus in collision investigation and vehicle examination....All of the instructors in the unit are considered experts and have been or are serving police officers with a background in Collision Investigation

AGS did training for overseas forces until the college closed a few years back.

Focus h/b and Terrano - same light bars on both even though years apart, but 2 on the Terrano seem like overkill :rolleyes:

That focus looks like it was marked up really fast.. Looks like it needs more reflective stickers added to it.

I would imagine it was previously unmarked and resprayed white

Doubt they resprayed it. I'd imagine it was just a white unmarked focus previously and a few sticks were put on it.

One of the the 'new' RSU V70's passed me on blues in Galway this evening, first time i've spotted it down here, don't know if they replaced one or both of the cars. Much better light set up with the blue/white LED bar than previous XC70.

That shape focus looks much better than the long saloon.

Roxboro, but yes there was one down here. Looked odd as a marked hatchback instead of the saloon.

It was always white. DDU in Ronanstown had one. That one pictured is the compol car in Kilmainham.

I need help with my Ford Fiesta 1.4 tdci 07. Problems started in November. Car started intermittently chugging and spluttering. After 2 weeks engine warning light came on- the injectors were gone- 3 injectors were reconditioned. Egr valve had to be replaced also. Recieved car back and slight chugging and not smooth when sitting idle so fuel filter and fuel sensor replaced. Recieved car back 1 week ago and chugging and spluttering occurring again, worse when cold. But when car being driven it feels perfect. Please help me. I'm at my wits end. Mechanic doesn't know what else it could be.

Jesus the focus has fog lights on the front

Looks fresh enough.

Be best asking in motors.

It would have been a BL/Freightrover* Sherpa

Sherpa was the model name - but because British Leyland, Austin Rover and co changed their branding - I can't remember what the exact brand name it used for the make.

Fairly sure it was Freight Rover though

Later versions were Leyland Daf - and then LDV - due to owner changes etc.
