Picked the car up from Nottingham today, it is a hell of a long of a drive from here. It had been a real struggle to buy as the guy did not really want to sell it. He bought it new 28 years ago and had absolutely maticulasly looked after the car, from new it has only ever been driven with seat covers on it and two mats all the way round. The guy never drove it in the rain, left it out in direct sunlight and had it serviced every year even if had not been driven 32K from new!!!!. His mother died and he wanted to keep some of her belongings so needed to clear some room in the garage. His wife kind of forced him into selling it to make room. There was a whole load of pe…

And more importantly, how do we get them out ?? Personally, I think the last one may be the hardest ? . Alan.............

I have bought this and dont plan to modify it, im not selling the Zed as I love her to bits but could not resist this little gem. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3167010.htm The guy bought the car brand new and thought he would own it forever. He has the original bill of sale, hand book, sales brocure, every MOT, Tax disk, it has a full main dealer service history etc. It has been garaged for the last 27 years occasionally being driven in the summer. Its already a classic car, never been welded or modified... and I am so excited to be getting it on Saturday. I know its a fair bit of cash for an old escort but there are not many of these about and definate…

Whats the deal with using cooking oil instead of diesel? Is it possible with all diesel cars, new and old? Has anyone tried this?

shell's htc sensation had developed green lines on the video and was producing crap pic's, she took the phone back as it's within the 14days grace period and asked for them to check it advisor shouted for the so called tech advisor, he came full of it and took the phone behind the store, came back and showed shell a tiny 1mm scratch (literally 1mm) on the back cover (not the camera lens) he told her that she must have goosed the camera and that it would have to be sent off at a cost to her, she rang me and i told her to cancel the contract as that sounded bullshit, she told them to cancel the contract (again, still in 14days grace period), they told her she coul…

Only had one key and I managed to lose it on friday, along with the keys for the extra security locks for the rear. Van is sat imobile on a customers drive 30 miles away, and been there 4 days now!! Meaning I couldn't work all bank holiday. Trying to get a code of Fiat, never mind a key is proving nigh on impossible. Might just have cracked it though by tracing the vans history myself and finding it was an Irish import. The lady in Ireland couldn't have been more helpful :cool3: But just incase there are any auto locksmiths on here I shall keep my opinions on those to myself. Looking like costing me about 200quid on top of 3 days lost wages. So pissed off right n…

Hi Guys, this one is for the teccies out there :) I`ve posted some pics of my Android tablet because I`m having problems getting a GPS signal, it has an external antenna, anyway after trying everything software wise I decided to take it apart and have a peek inside to see how it ticked, to my surprise the GPS circuit board doesnt connect to anything? is this strange or do the gps signals use bluetooth or similar, seems a bit strange to me
