Can anyone give me any clues on this? My good old reliable 2001 Vaux Astravan (Envoy) played up for the first time today. When giving it some revs I let off the pedal and the engine slows down and dies. Its like the auto idle stability stopped working (if it has it?). This isnt happening all of the time but in a 5 min journey it happened twice. Turn the key and it starts and idles fine like nothing happened. Like I say, first time its happened. I checked all of the vac pipes and connections that I could see but nothing obvious. Any pointers? Thanks

im trying to watch on iplayer, who do i want to win?

Hope everyone is ok, so sorry I'm never on here these days. This nurse training malarky is pretty time consuming, funnily enough!! Will try to have a catch up in the coming weeks as I have a bit of time off before my next long placement. Before that though I have an exam (my first one since 1995, eek!) so I'm off to revise and try not to crap myself lol!! J xx

But I don't want an ipod or a smart phone... Needs to be cheap but of decent quality, don't need huge storage capacity and radio function would be nice. I bought a cheap one from amazon a couple of years ago but it died within a month. lol Any suggestions?

Today is the day we are finally going to paint our Barcelona Banger. I have loads of quality Autoglym aand Zymol shampoo's but wondered what would be best to use prior to hand painting the car. Ordinary washing up liquid perhaps?? I tried to get hold of some TRF but failed so it is literally getting washed dried and painted :surrender: I'll update later with pics but any advice appreciated. I paint and decorate for a living but have never painted a car lol :surrender:

http://www.dft.gov.uk/news/press-releases/dft-press-20120521a Classic vehicles will be exempted from the MoT test, Roads Minister Mike Penning announced today. Classic and historic vehicles are often very well maintained by their owners and have a much lower accident and MoT failure rate than newer vehicles. The current requirement to undergo an MoT test goes over and above the obligations set out in European legislation. Following a public consultation which showed high levels of support for the proposals, vehicles manufactured before 1960 will be exempted from the MoT test from 18th November 2012 reducing costs for owners. Owners of affected vehicles…

Anyone able to recommend a top notch resprayer in the south west, who is reasonable on price, not cheap as I dont want a cheap job, but I dont want to be ripped of at the same time :P any samples of work done would be appreciated too. I would also like it to have a deep polish after paint, so it is totally smooth, with not even the slightest "orange peel" as seen on new cars, and resprayed cars.

May as well ask here, worth a shout. Does anyone know anywhere in Cardiff (or surrounding areas) that do hourly van hire? Or can anyone lend me a van for a day? :thumbup1: Been searching on Google but when you click on the link that says 'Van hire £10 per day' its more like £85 effing quid!! :( Doesnt need to be transit size, something like a Combo would do. I need it for next Saturday the 26th. Thanks :)
