I know that I've not gone down too well with some of the other forums, but it is not me! I've been man enough to sort things out with the Soup guys, I apologised to John Branners and he's accepted my apology and w…

I went to replace my battey today and after putting it in, the engine won't turn over. The problem sounds as though the starter motor is just spinning and as I said the engine is just not turning over. I put in the old battery and jumped started it, but the same thing, just spinning up noise coming from the drivers side of the engine bay. Has anyone any ideas what it could be? Cheers Vijay

Jonny at Grasshopper supplied me with a Turbo Breather kit. Had it fitted along with new SS braided brake pipes from the Z Centre and USA fog lights from Courtesy Nissan. The kit works great, thanks Jonny. The Fog lights look super and with Osram H3 bulbs allow more rapid passage on dimly lit roads.The old girl looks even more beautiful now. Bill

What happened? I explained. Where was it? Told them. What is the damage? Told them. I explained to them that it would not be a good idea to use one of their recommended repair places. They told me to obtain a quote for a spoiler and they will organise my windscreen replacement. I did tell them to hold fire though as I want to see how much it costs first because there would be no point losing a years no claims and paying the excess. They said no problems, just call them when I get a quote. Am pleasently suprised by their attitude. So how much for a new spoiler (with break light) made of fibreglass, fitted and all the gubbins? …

Just thought I'd share my disgust at this obviously male chauvinist sexist drivel in the hope that we can get together and stop such nonsense being spread about the superior sex. I'll see you guys at the next feminist workshop at Greenham Common. Female Guinness Book Of Records : 1. Car Parking: The smallest kerbside space successfully reversed into by a woman was one of 19.36m (63ft 2ins), equivalent to three standard parking spaces, by Mrs.Elizabeth Simpkins, driving an unmodified Vauxhall Nova 'Swing' on 12th October 1993. She started the manoeuvre at 11.15am in Ropergate, Pontefract, and successfully parked within three feet of the pavement 8 hours…
