dozeydustman Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Found out from work today I am working Saturday and on call Sunday. Means I'm going to have to miss the weekend which is a bummer. Sorry guys and gals. Six-cylinder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 My plan is; Depart home at circa before_breakfast on saturday Go to mums and help them assemble a summerhouse until its done (hopefully smash it out in a morning, it's a flat pack kit) Have luncheon Come to the fod and stay until whenever. I'll bring what's needed to be self sufficient which will probably be an chair, stove, teabags and food. Probably won't sleep over, but drive back late. @AnthonyG you'll be there afternoon on Saturday won't you? Obv weather will change all of this but equally we could just get wet and get it done regardless. May or May not come with parents, depends how they feel I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyrew Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Sorry to put this off topic, but if anyone wants some of the cheap size 100 batteries at £35 each,  Just ping me a message and I'll bring them with me. Ive got two for Chris, happy to bring more if anyone wants. This is the dimensions, pinched of the tanya site. I'm in no shape profiteering from this. They are just "shitter discount" clearance from work and seems a good price. Mrs6C, Six-cylinder and richardmorris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 I did not use the Peugeot 406 Coupe yesterday because it did not show up on the Mids insurance database. I added it to my insurance on-line late Sunday afternoon and checked several times yesterday Monday and it showed as uninsured. This morning it now shows an insured. Trouble is I have other cars to move around today, more news about that later! While I did have the Peugeot insured I did not want to do battle with the authorities if I was caught out in it without it being on the Database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't blame you. I got pulled over one evening on the M11 in an Iveco Daily van I'd just picked up - I'd added it to my insurance that lunchtime so obvs it wasn't showing up yet. Motorway plod took a lot of persuading not to impound it.

Talbot Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Plod really should know that it takes 24/48 hrs for a vehicle to show up on the MID. It even says on the MID web page that it isn't live. Whenever I take out new insurance I always keep a copy of the certificate (usually a screenshot) and the details about payment with me on my phone, in the hope that should be more than enough for an officer to realise it just hasn't been updated yet. Never had to test that theory yet.

bub2006 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 When I bought my 406 it was not insured. I put iton online in Coventry and drove it home via m1 stopping at a couple of services. Morning after I nipped into town and checked it online. Still not showing. Wife rang them up to find I'd put the wrong date by a day on it. I was rather lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 I got a text yesterday lunch time to say the Lancia Trevi was ready to collect! It took me by surprise so today I went to collect it. It looks about the same as when I had it transported to my favourite garage but now it drives and has an MOT. Works carried out include: Strip and clean carb, Fit throttle linkage, Welding, Thermostat, Header tank, Washer bottle, replace headlight switch, fit replacement fuse box, fit 4 new tyres, fit rear brake pads and spark plugs. None of this conveys how much time and effort they put into diagnosing stuff and waiting for me to find parts. Â The worst problem has been electrics and when I say things like they changed the fuse box that does not tell the story of mine being useless and then me providing another useless one and then a part broken one they had to provide patches for to get everything working. As I was told it is very lumpy until it is fully warmed up but apart from that drives very well. I was told to put petrol in it as soon as possible, I forgot my mask so could not use the closest petrol station and had to go six miles for a Tesco pay at the pump. Tense!

catsinthewelder Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Brilliant news, can't wait to perve over the dash at the weekend ? Should be heading over Friday night after work then heading back Sunday lunchtime but might adjust that slightly if the weather is awful ? Also need to fix my own car to travel in to save yet more miles in the Focus. LightBulbFun, Mrs6C and Six-cylinder 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
