hairnet Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 The view from my office window. I think I am going to have to find a new position for the dustbins as they feature in nearly every shot I take of the drive.KILL RANGE ROVER PUT BINS IN PRIDE OF PLAICE WHERE RANGE ROVER WAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chatsharris Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I just blue tack them to the fuse box lid in the Saab. One or two of each, as occasionally the front windows like to pop the fuse if I'm turning the wheel and the aircon/rear window demister are on at the same time. It happens less than once a year, so I can't really grumble if that's the height of my problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 KILL RANGE ROVER PUT BINS IN PRIDE OF PLAICE WHERE RANGE ROVER WAS I am not sure what you had in mind! A small change yesterday has changed the view and so I did not have to look at the Audi back I parked it facing my office window, trouble is the battery was flat so I put it on charge with the bonnet open a bit! Maybe I should just get a picture to hang in front of my window! Coprolalia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My E30 has never popped a fuse in 7 years (except the boot light I have just done) I have owned it, so the loose fuses are from the previous owner or the Auto electrician when be removed the alarm or changed the speedohead.

Tricky question, I have tried short notice when I have a fair idea of the weather and everybody is busy and it seems a shame to wait until summer so I guess it is time for me to find provisional dates subject to weather.

Slowsilver Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 How about Sunday 15th July, the day after the Festival of the Unexceptional.Then any long-distance visitors who wanted to could stay overnight and attend.If we can persuade dollywobbler to stay over we can all practise autocrossing the Invacar.There are at least two locals who are dying to try it out.If Zelandeth brings his as well we can have Invacar races!

Slowsilver Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Maybe we could include the FoU Saturday as well and make it a FoD weekend.Since FoU finishes early afternoon anyone who wanted to could reconvene at FoD afterwards.

Six-cylinder Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Shame. No decision just saying. I have been too busy today to think about dates as I received back my moped that now starts thanks to the efforts of a member of this parish.

Six-cylinder Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 A BIG thanks to Panhard65 without his help my Peugeot 103 project would have failed and you would have seen a spares or repair ad. Major problems - thread on the end of the crankshaft buggered, wrong width of piston rings, ball bearing races seized, carb had a broken lever and electrical issues so no spark. All these have been sorted for me leaving me a list of things to do that I hope I can cope with. Jobs to do sort - Tune and reset idle, sort decompression lever for stopping engine, fit a new disengagement catch for the variator so it can be pushed, number plate, bracket for front mudguard stay, fit thin wall petrol pipe so cover can be refitted.

beko1987 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Could also possibly do Friday afternoon... but now I've seen this thread edit! Possibly snow dependant though, but judging by how quickly the snow hit last weekend we won't know until half an hour before we set off anyway! 1 - Beko1987!
