Probably underbody lift generated at 82mph, like Mark Webbers Porsche at LeMans.

That's a good price, I'd certainly be happy with it mine is a lot more. I presume that it's limited mileage.

I had a 1995 2.0 GLX from new as a company car and had loads of trim problems in the 2 years that I had it. In a lot of ways it was better than my 2007 one which was written off due to water leaks.

Weren't those based on pre war BMW sixes?

But even they can have problems in something slightly more sophisticated than an invacare : "Boeing is being investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) for a United Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 flight that experienced a stuck rudder pedal upon landing at its base at Newark Liberty International Airport. The flight, UA1539, had operated from Nassau, Bahamas, and experienced the malfunction during touchdown at the New York airport on February 6th." Article: https://simpleflying.com/ntsb-inve

All it needs is a brief message that tells them that you now own it and here's a recent picture if they're interested. They can then take it from there if they want to. "I don't know if it's of any interest to you but I own your dad's old invacar and here's a photo of it. Please let me know if you want any further information"

I clicked on the link, just out of curiousity of course, and my virus checker went ballistic. I assume that it's a false alarm and I'll have to try again.

We've had our 2013 1.6D Roomster for about 8 years now with no engine problems. There were a couple of regeneration issues at first but now if it does a few short runs I give it an Italian tune up, well as much as you can give one of these them.

Asking about suppliers and customers can make a lot of sense if you have an overdraft for example. Say you are heavily reliant on one customer the risk, all other things being equal, is higher than if you have a decent spread of them. Others spring to mind but to me the financial risk one is the most likely, albeit not knowing the legal status of your business.

We have this every year both with the cars on the drive and some of the French doors. They tend to be Robins by what I've seen, being known to be very territorial. Mind you we do have a lot of Robins here.
-
They advertise a lot in the MG press and have done for many years as far as I remember.

I ended up sourcing parts from Egypt, Columbia, Australia, Vietnam and a host of other countries for my VW resto, the situation not being helped by it was an early production one and things like the brakes changed after 6 months. Fortunately I'd retired by then so could spend a lot of time searching, it still took about 3 years.
-
I agree. My missus will never know the true cost of my 2 restorations, I'd wake up one day with my balls in my mouth if she did. Fortunately I deal with the money side of things here and she leaves me to it.
-
I'm lost. I have a MGB that I've owned for the best part of 50 years and wouldn't be even slightly concerned if the make was recorded as BL rather than MG, in fact some later ones had BL badges on the wings. It wouldn't affect my enjoyment of it, it's just a reference on a form. I assume the 'bodge' you refer to is in response to a communication from you, where they've tried to help you.

I agree. To me the key will be how difficult/expensive it is, if it's too much it'll get rejected in my opinion. I suspect that one of Sheefag's favourite quotes will end up applying: "Attributed to Reinhold Niebuhr, Lutheran theologian (1892–1971) God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
-
It does. It might be their fault but everywhere I've worked there's had to be a cost/benefit analysis for any work. Admittedly it's all been private sector apart from the Post Office though. I've had to review lots of these proposals but I can't see any monetary benefits in this as I understand it. Sometimes work gets approved without these but usually because of legal requirements or so another system will work 'properly', e.g. a change in data format. If it's just an easy fix to a look up table it could probably be included in another work package. If it can't then someone will probably have to sign the cost off. In some ways it'd probably be easier to get the work done if it was a massive problem. I've been out of this field for a while now but let me know if you're unsure about what I've said.
-
So what exactly are the potential/actual consequences? To fix it are you just talking look up tables or is coding required ? If the latter it might be a world of pain from a testing point of view, especially, as is very likely, it's interfaced with other systems. By what you say there also might be data clean up exercise which in my experience is neither simple nor cheap.

In my experience professional people haven't studied for x years, had to pass 4x exams and other tests to do data input. That's an office junior's job and if they can't read the notes they go to someone who can, probably a local admin person.

Yes. He's a doctor not a data entry clerk and has little or no need to understand the system. It's not rude or ignorant as he didn't understand the impact what he was doing, he's got far better things to do with his time. If you're doing a responsible job you prioritise the use of your time and data entry tends to be near the bottom of the list, you can always use some uni arts grad to fix it.
