anonymous user Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Maybe a combination of both. Does the landlord own several other residential properties, suggesting a slight difficulty keeping on top of all of them? Is the letting agent one of those which pretends to listen to tenant concerns, only to bin them shortly after so that the landlord never gets a chance to even hear about them until too late?As long as the agent doesn't pretend that the tenant has let the bath overflow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean36014 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Waved goodbye to my Xsara van, genuinely going to miss it as its been such a good little van. of course this means I'm down to "only" 5 vehicles, meaning all can be parked off road again. The cash from van will clear the overdraft, refraining from buying another car is going to be hard! BorniteIdentity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadsword Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Can't rate Peter S Taylor highly enough. Great folks, and the only folk who will cover me for business use in classics for a not-ridiculous amount.Yes they are really, really good. They let me insure the blower Jag for £150 and the XJ Sport for £98. Not bad for a 27 year old. Unfortunately they hit a stone wall with the BX, it was over £500. I couldn't get anyone to do it for less than £300 so I aborted the BX mission unfortunately. I have just seen a big cat that I just have to go an look at tomorrow. Booked appointment, hope it doesn't vanish before I get over towards Blackpool. Have no space, but cannot be missed. Will just have to try and rent somewhere to store it all being well. skattrd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skattrd Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 As Broadsword is out can someone else please buy that BX TD, fix it with the rad from Dean then sell it to me in a couple of months. KTHXBAI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadsword Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 It's ripe for someone here to buy it. I suspect the seller is junking it precisely because the rad is a pain to source, probably amongst other things. If it is solid, it must be a good buy. I would bid £400.

dozeydustman Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Ah, plumbing during one of the great pipeclip famines. Someone also needs a manufacturer's instruction sheet stapling to his knackers to remind them not to mix different makes of plastic supply pipe. (The mix of waste pipes is bad enough but should still work.) Indeed. I am not a plumber, but even my wife knows the drain pipes shouldn't go up then down, and the feed pipes should be clipped in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good old France, always 10 years behind in virtual terms. #3615 The big question is, can you now have more than 3 photos on your ad? Also not sure I agree with the comment about the French being 10 years behind - the Minitel allowed them to book train tickets online, check the news / weather, send and receive messages etc. from 1982 - that's about 15 years before home internet became widespread in the UK. When we moved to France in 1993 my dad paid the extra to have a Minitel 2, which did all of the above but with a colour screen! somewhatfoolish, purplebargeken and egg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtriple Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Played with the Jaguar again, pulled off (oo-er!) all connections, checked hoses for vac leaks, hit things with hammers but I still cannot get to the bottom of the bloody idle problem! Start it after it's been stood a while and the idle is 900- 1000 rpm, switch it off again and restart and it's down to the correct, 700 and stays there. Why? I still think it's something electrical but I have run out of ideas and all the Jaguar forums seem to have given up on me (no wonder with all the stupid questions I ask). Also noted that after all my faffing with the dashboard I have lost the left side repeater for the indicators, they work properly so just the repeater and it's probably just the bulb, but... it is such a faff getting the dash connections back in I am loathe to take it out again and lose some other stuff! Nice to have a dash that displays information, scared! Started re-dying the tiny bit of wear on the driver's seat bolster, it really is minute but, OCD!

It's not a smart charge system boosting the revs under an electrical load is it? Or a fast idle controlled by engine temp? xtriple 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, indeed the French have been masters at developing alternative non Anglo-Saxon solutions to things for decades! I guess my comment was specifically directed at LBC - eBay had the functionality they are trumpeting about now years ago, and as France's premier classifieds site, I think that getting these basic tools has been a bit slow! (But also accept it has a different business model). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtriple Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 It's not a smart charge system boosting the revs under an electrical load is it? Or a fast idle controlled by engine temp?Sadly not. There is a fast idle controlled by the temp and it is known they can be dodgy but I'm pretty sure it's not that. Seems odd that it starts at 900 rpm and will stay there regardless of temp until it's turned off and restarted immediately when the idle is now the correct 700 and again, it will stay there forever until it is switched off and left for a while when the high idle is back (turn off, restart and back to 700 again - rinse and repeat!).

trigger Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I've been enjoying the Marina over the weekend, I took it to a little car meet in Colchester yesterday for a hour or so and enjoyed a nice bacon roll and coffee on the old lifeboat there This R12 has only done 18000 miles! This replica Timelord car was ace, apparently KLF tipped white paint all over it last year. Then today I had a new tumble dryer to collect so used the Marina, It fitted in with loads of room to spare! And then took it in for its first MOT since 1981 where it passed with no advisories. egg, D Spares & Tyres, mercrocker and 21 others 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brodders Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Oof,that looks like a cracking show. There are a few Renault 12s starting to come out around the area now, which is great considering how few there are in the UK. However, although it is not usual Autoshite material, I have to say that Lotus Carlton is absolutely top draw. Excellent photos as always, and well done on the Marina MOT pass. trigger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
