I used to have one of these. Was it the 115 diesel? It was chipped 130bhp. It used to surprise a few bois away from the lights! Very grin inducing.
In fact I think I still have the chip box, a Tunit. Whoever wins If you want it I'll dig it out for some beer tokens.

Yesterday my friend Mervyn hosted a car show in his home village of Willington near Bedford. He reckons there were over 200 cars present, a record for this little show. Here's some highlights.

Edit: Done, complete, appears to have worked. Woohoo!

Hi,
 
We've got our new shiny forum license, and I'm about to switch the board over to it. This involves removing the existing license, and adding the new one.
 
I'm almost certain it will work.
 
Since the board doesn't tell you what the existing license is, if the new one can't be added for whatever reason, there may be a period of down time while I wait for Invision support to answer a support ticket, which may be ~24hrs.
 
I'm 99% sure this won't happen. Well, maybe 95%.

(In all seriousness I have actually tested this process on the new server, so I'm as positive as I can be that it will go smoothly. Famous last words.)
 
Many thanks,
 
Slartibartfast.

Makes me wonder if any small change to be found under the handbrake.

Ah, a Herald Coupé. My first ever car, mine was a 948cc twin carb "Clubman" model. Sebring Green over Arctic White or something like that. Apparently it was quite rare even then as most were 1250cc I think.

Just a thought have you checked the in tank gauze filter on the fuel pickup? I've seen them covered in old fuel that's turned to jelly.

Yes but that was 9 years ago!

If it was running ok before its going to be something silly.

Fuel pressure at idle should be 2 bars or about 30 psi. According to Haynes bol.

Bx 16v if the pressure sensor is duff on the fuel rail it won't fire the injectors or if there isn't enough pressure there anyway.

Well bought Neil, I do regret selling the ex-SL LS400 that I had last year, they really are a fantastic car.

We took the DS for a run today, while we were out it turned another 100,000 km. This is 300,000km now, I know this because in spite of it being 45 years old and starting life in France I have the full history of the car.

He can spaff the donations on Thai ladyboys and extra large jars of mayonnaise for all I care.
 
What are the other options? No Autoshite? Autoshite plagued with adverts? Fuck all of that.

If you don't feel comfortable handing over money to an undisclosed set of circumstances, surely the easy option is simply to not donate?

Why do you need to know exactly what server costs are,should i make a thread with daily running costs or something.
Its a free internet forum,if you dont want to donate then dont,simple as that.

I used to know an old school service engineer who was a great all-round chap, except he didn't give a flying feck about the environment.
 
His parting shot after doing some job on the engine on a yacht was to chuck a bowl full of genklene over the side. He and the owner watched in horror as this glob of genklene floated against the side of the fibreglass hull and did it's worst.

Without reading the above link I'd be starting at the dip/main switch on the bars.

Saab 94 turbo.
