And another thing, why am I seemingly the only one I've seen so far on this site, to have pointed out to all and sundry, that i have 0 warning points? whats that all about?

[Pillock]

You only see your own. I can't see yours, but I can see that I've got 65 warning points.

Except when you live [edit: have an internet connection which routes through] somewhere with draconian surveillance legislation like the UK.

Seen similar but far better on a Cadillac a year or two back, probably a 70's Caddy.

I saw them on the front of a new Citroën DS3 the other day, so apparently not now the exclusive preserve of Audis.

Ctrl-Shift-P in firefox, not sure on other browsers but F11 often works too.

 

Bear in mind though, without cookies any shopping baskets won't work nor will you be able to sign in to a lot of websites.

I can't seem to find the links thread that I think Pillock started? Can I have a clue please. Thsnks

[bub2006]

Thanks for that chao

CTRL-Shift-P brings up the printer page and F11 goes fullscreen for me (Chromium) but the options button in both - top far left) has an "Incognito" or "Private Browsing" button.

F11 is fullscreen on both.

What's the best way to remove the round bushes on a Peugeot / Citroën wishbone? Yeah I know I should have bought new control arms with bushes but I have the new bushes now.

Burning them didn't work.

This is definitely a stupid question. I've always fancied a 110 defender. There, I've said it. Probably since Brian the builder owned two and lived across the road from a 9 year old me, I've thought they're ideal.

 

I've got a bit of cash spare, probably up to 2.5k. Are defenders on this price range total rubbish?

 

If not a defender, what is a suitable alternative that can go on classic or enthusiasts insurance, seats 5 with proper seatbelts, and 4x4?

[dave21478]

Have you driven a Defender?

I like them and am a dedicated Land Rover apologist, but they are grim on the road. Surprisingly cramped in the cab and woeful road manners.

2.5k could get you a reasonably nice one, but it could also get you one just on the point of dissolving totaly. 

Pretty decent off road, massive spares and accessories backup, infinite knowledge on several forums, decent looks, higher driving position than most Fuck You, Peasant X5 type 4x4s, nobody ever pulls out in front of you or parks too close....there is a lot to like, but the road manners are a BIG negative. Also one of the most stolen cars on the road iirc.

 

Personally I would look at an early Discovery - does pretty much everything the Defender will do and is pretty decent on a long journey. 

Another early 3-door would do me nicely right now.

 

 

I had a lovely G-reg in that burgandy colour with the nice graphics down the sides that was brilliant apart from the crippling rot.

long bolt and selection of tube/sockets/washers to wind them out?

[Lacquer Peel]

I was being a bit dense. I've done it before with a big socket, a smaller socket to push it through and a G clamp or vice.

 

The issue with these bushes is that they're two bushes pressed in at either side of the shaft, I'm sure they'll come out with some brute force.

CTRL+Shift+N for incognito in Chrome.

Everything Dave numbers says except the possibility of a decent one for 2.5k

Who had the Rolls Royce on here in the last week. Looking for the picture for the calendar thread and can't remember which thread it was in.

You would struggle to get a useable 110 for 2.5k ! Unless you manage to get one word of mouth but on the open market - no chance

[meshking]

Thanks, I feared this was a moon on a stick type of request. Disco it might just be then,

Thanks Richard, but not that one. It was a new person and a burgundy car. I know I'm a fussy bugger.

Windscreen repair kits...

 

In my experience they follow the Haynes bodywork page paradigm : your repair will never be anywhere as good as in the pictures.

 

Is there a trick to using them, that I am unaware of ?

[Honey Badger]

My hand me down 2005 Lexus RX300 has a rear outer light bulb out, which appears to be a LED bulb.

 

I've had a trawl online and I don't appear to be able to find a replacement from the usual places. Is this a Lexus only part and will I have to assume the position when I find out how much it costs? 

 

Have I mentioned I don't actually like the fucking thing and I'm spending far too much time looking at Honda Legends and Accord Coupes than is healthy, why the fuck did I sell mine......

They're a bit of a pain, but the way that I do them is to burn the insides out, use a hacksaw through the middle to cut through the outer bush casing and then using a cold chisel and hammer knock the lips inwards and collapse the casing in on itself. You can now use the normal socket, nut and bolt trick to pull them both out as one.

 

That said, those front bushes rarely fail in my experience - the issue is almost always the P-bush at the rear.

[Lacquer Peel]

They're okay on the offside but one of the nearside ones is gubbed. I might just leave the offside ones.
