Steviemillar Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 6 hours ago, colino said: I know Hoovie and the mechanic go back a long way, but someone who takes a hole saw to a Lambo because he didn't check over a very expensive, second hand part out of a crashed car, cannot diagnose a misfire because the car didn't have a diagnostic port and hates the complexity and poor quality of BMWs but loves modern Land Rovers really isn't a, "mechanic" you can take seriously. IIRC The Weeeezard gave Hoovie the choice of either taking the engine out of said Lambo again to rectify the fault or to cut the access hole, he didn’t agree with the hole cutting but ultimately it was the course of action his customer wanted him to take. As regards BMWs of the era he has been burnt with , we all know how needy late 90s/early 00s BMWs can be so it’s not surprising that he dislikes them to be honest, not BMWs finest hour and I’m a committed Beemer licker. I can also relate to his liking of newer Land Rovers as they are superb vehicles when working correctly, owning one gives me the fearz big time though! Can’t comment on the diagnostic plug incident as I missed that vid. I was pretty disappointed in how Hoovie behaved after the transmission oil change mishap on his Merc, no lasting damage (the oils were not too different as was pointed out at the time) and the Weeeeeezard committed to repair any issues that arose FOC and also waived the cost of repairs on quite a few of Hoovies projects too.

Supernaut Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 4 hours ago, Cavcraft said: That porno mag car reminds me of my tyre fitting days, there was a local lad with a Transit pick-up (large wooden sides) that collected old papers and magazines for pulping. He used to give us bongo mags all the time, and one day when he came in we tore a few pages out of some and glued them to the side and back of his truck. He didn't realise until he got back to his depot hours later and his boss went fucking mad at him due to the phone calls he'd received. We got a proper bollocking for that too. American Caravan and custom truck | eBay Quote can be driven on a car licence and the gross weight of the truck and caravan is 4.7 tonnes So it can't be driven on a car licence. At least one after 1997 anyway. Also, what really irks me about that (apart from the Iv*co) is that it's not even a 5th wheel style trailer. It's a bloody draw bar and it looks like they just welded a towing ball onto the chassis of the Iv*co above the rear axle. It looks so incredibly shonky. In that first photo I initially thought they'd disconnected the caravan and driven the tow vehicle forwards a couple of feet, but look closely and you realise that's the caravan connected to it! It looks like complete wank. SteersWithThrottle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulls like a train and has never let me down. Comes with 12 months MOT, will throw in a set of golf clubs too. Good points: everything Bad points: nothing, apart from mayonnaise like substance around oil cap, wipes off though, have to be honest even though its a small thing. No jokers or time wasters please, if you don't like what you see scroll on.

The flip side of course being that at 6,000rpm they're doing about 22mph. Alpe d'Huez is bad enough in a shitty VW Golf diesel let alone trying it in one of those.
