bombers
My thoughts go to familly & friends who lost loved ones through this most horrific act. Terrorist have been around before we & America went to war on Iraqu! I did not agree with Bush or Blair for taking us to war. The muslums must look at thier problems, they have very big issues to tackle. We are observing the 2 min silence in respect of the dead caught by these mad people!

Poly bushes...DIY??
I replaced front ones DIY style. removed front struts off car, then a local engineering firm (yellow pages) pressed old ones out & pressed new bushes in. Took him 1 hour. Charged me a tenner. You need to use the grease provided with the bushes to get them to slide in. The type of press is called a Fly Press I think? The rear ones not sure about. Arthur

Hi Then they charge VAT + 80 pounds transfer! I thought 825 was a rip off for E2 ART. Then after VAT +trans =1045! Arthur

Hi Mate Im not sure! I dont mind, my past Z had cloth which I liked. Will check it out & let you know, if reports come back ok about it. I wonder if I might miss the umph of turbo power? I have been without a car for 8 months, no! no ban. Been in Tenerife all this time, now due back around 13-14 March. Do you have an induction kit or any mods? Is there much difference between the SWB & 2+2? Am I about to start WW3 with a question like that! Like what coluor is best, or TT or not. First jobs will be lights & clear side repeaters. Any comments welcome. Arthur

Sorry maybe not much help. Good luck with the matrix had that job too PIA Arthur

heater matrix
HI Busaman! Fit a new one! They are easy to get! Lots of us just do not know what is available! If you look in your Yellow Pages & go to Radiators-Motor you will find a local specialist ! They will need your old one as a template, but it will be correct in, size & threads for screws. The cost is approx £110. Arthur if you want to speak phone 01303-244137
