meggersdog Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 So I bought one of these in ACA's last sale Today was the first time I've been near it since parking at my mates place.Started first turn although the air suspension took a while to lift.Anyway brought it into work to have a tinker about and loads of folk have stopped to have a look."look at the room in the back" said everybody.It's an LSE that's what the L stands for. forddeliveryboy, Brodders, dollywobbler and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayne Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 You should sort the suspension before you burn out an overworked compressor, air springs are cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puddlethumper Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Just had a look on How Much Shite left. Bloody hell, my Pug 305 GRD is one of only TWO on the road and its very likely the other is an estate, so I may have the ONLY GRD VAN on the road. How effing cool is that ? I think its dead cool but I am biased. A lot. brandersnatch, purplebargeken, FakeConcern and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 So after 12 months and 2 days of driving, I finally am able to get decent classic car cover. Was at work earlier and thought I'd try FJ for the AX and got £136 for the year with agreed value. Now I can actually use another car.... loserone, Banger Kenny and Sloth in a bowl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panhard65 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 It's a public holiday here in France today which seem to mean they all have a day off and decide to have car boot sales everywhere. I managed to score a whole load of manuals for Peugeot 204's including parts lists etc. All in French but it has pictures which will help trying to find parts. 4 books for 15 euro seemed like a bargain to me. anonymous user 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordperv Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 For a few years now ive been looking for a scuttle trim for my mk1 sierra that isn't broken, they all usually are around the screw holes at the end and worse case scenario the whole end splits away people have them up for a minimum of £50 damaged, I have finally been lucky enough to get an one thats in 1 piece, i picked it up earlier and to top it off it was from a fantastic guy in shrewsbury who i have dealt with for other parts in the past so had a good shit chatting session whilst i was there. I cleaned it up as it was a little dirty, came with the ends as well myglaren, adw1977, purplebargeken and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNWeigh Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 The Red Arrows flew over in V formation trailing smoke whilst I was at the car wash, presumably for the benefit of Bletchley Park rather than me and 12 Romanians , who it must be said, weren't as excited as me.

gordonbennet Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Mahoosive thumbs up for Twosmoke. Daughter was down in the Cornwall with her Aygo earlier in the week, we got a phone call bloody engine light has come on.Could be anything, and i didn't want the risk of them breaking down on the way back to Watford, so put a call out to our mate TwoSmoke, who luckily turned out to be only about 10 miles from where they were camping and was happy to have a poke nose at the thing. Anyway, put them in touch, she pops round next morning and the car gets the once over, has its bumps read, all seems ok and the girls sent on their way with the engine light not on any more and a short list of likely reasons to look at if the light comes on again.They travelled home yesterday, car seems all good. Top geezer the man, i wanted some bugger who we could trust knew what they were looking at to give it a look over, and that's exactly what we got. Thankyou Twosmoke. mercedade, Tickman, DodgeRover and 22 others 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
