These ace little cars really can do anything (except handbrake turns). There is a lot of love for the venerable AX round here isn’t there, and I think they look ace. I must have a look and a drive of one some day. LightBulbFun and Bucketeer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dozeydustman Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Corolla's dodgy rear lights issue turned out to be an internal short between the 5w and 21w filaments in the brand new bulb. Had a spare. Freebie fix. The best kind. mrbenn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 The Civic has to go, it needs specialist insurance and my dad can't be on the policy due to his age, so it's not much cop to us. I doubt anyone on here will be interested as I want £1500-2000 for it. If anyone does happen to want a £1500 JDM yo go-kart, rust free and low mileage, let me know... choices of wheels and steering wheels are available. Besides something very nice has come up that's cheaper to insure. eBay auction so no guarantee I'll get it, but it'll be a shame if I don't.

beko1987 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I have Saturday afternoon to have a look at the zx and work out what the massive knocking noise is, diagnose it and get to the shops before they shut at 5 to buy any parts needed... Im fairly sure it's the lower ball joints (it's deffo on the front, fairly convinced it's on the drivers side, seems more affected with road undulations, smacking drain covers with the passenger side than shit road surfaces like the droplinks were when they went, and the noise all but goes when I corner.) I had a peer under earlier with the wheels on full lock and nothing looks untoward, but I suppose it won't be externally visible. I've never diagnosed anything properly with a pry bar before... Just need to hope nothing snaps before then really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardmorris Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Personally, as a chemist, I’d never drink out of a container like that. Keep it with the oil on a shelf as a curio, but don’t make it into a mug. SiC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I loaded up the Saab and took my bike away into the forest for a bit of fresh air right, I'll just adjust the saddle before I set off fucksticks ! thankfully, there was enough thread on the end of the bolt to get a pair of side cutters on and wind it out. and a conveniently sized bolt was robbed from the mudguard - jobs a good 'un lots of climbing of hills was done, and then the fun bit HillmanImp, djim, Bucketeer and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Having not even started my Ital Van since the beginning of February I got a lift from my dad back to the farm where it's be stored to bring it home yesterday so I can make a start unpacking it and thinking about selling it, annoyingly though I couldn't get the bugger started! After a bit of investigation work I found there was no fuel being drawn up so I'm guessing the fuel pump has packed up. A friend has one but I can't get it until next week so I ended up having to borrow dad's RAV4 to get home again, this was the first time I'd driven it and I have to say I was really impressed, his is the diesel one with 81k on it and it was quiet and smooth, only let down by the over light power steering. This was also the first time I've had two cars in my new garage, I still have tons of room! The Moog, LightBulbFun, wuvvum and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
