Glad you got back safe. Let me know what you want for them derek(dot)gregory3(at)gmail(dot)com Cheers, Derek.

Makes your 'zorst smell off strawberries! I used to sell that by the box - couldn't get enough of it, folks loved it. It was only pennies more than the standard stuff at the time.

And don't forget this;

Nice one. Decent make, Malaguti. Loads of "performance" options too - heavier variatior weights, pipes etc. Not going to give you much extra top end, but can be made to accelerate reasonably quick. Relatively speaking, of course.....

Scoots are awesome.... Used to work in a scooter shop when I was still in the UK. What is it? And is it de-restricted?

It's a US based site, so most likely based on the US market. It's not the be-all and end-all, I've noticed a few things not listed, but it is a decent starting point for ideas or identification.

I found this & reckoned it would be useful for peeps thinking of a colour change. Also good to reference if you like a particular standard paint, but don't know the colours name. If someone wants to move it to the links section or something, feel free. http://gtcarlot.com/colors/

Best Western or Golden Tulip are the main ones really.

Doh! - your right about the feedback scores. Didn't realize it was that limited. You can definitely block non PayPal holders though, at least on eBay.de. I had a freelander that I actually managed to sell 7 times, none of the times did the "buyers" even turn up or make contact after the sale. And eBay wouldn't let me leave them neg feedback - just open a complaint case and cancel my final sales fee. They still make the insertion fee though. Load of pants....

A bit late now, but you can go into your account and set it up so that certain bidders are blocked, for example under 10 feedback score, no paypal account etc. It's not perfect, but helps to keep some of the fools away.

Groover has pretty much got it covered, the only thing I would add is consider if laying your own primer would affect any warranty that whatever paint shop you go with might supply. If it starts to flake after a few months, you could be in trouble. At the very least, find your shop, speak with the painter, and come to an agreement on the best course of action before you do it.

There has been a few threads suggesting http://www.tapatalk.com/, and I still think it would be a great improvement. Although the forum can be accessed on a mobile browser, it can be a pain to navigate at times. Implementing Tapatalk is straight forward and free. It would benefit existing users by making the site nicer to use, a little more mobile friendly, and also reducing data usage at the same time. For most folks that is a plus, and folks who are happy to stay with the original version can. It is completely optional. It would also give us a chance to bring in some new members, as we would be listed in the Tapatalk directory under our relevant section - I know i have joined a few forums based on that.

Shiply.com is a good 'un.

Good result. Just make sure they keep their word!

Fair play. There is conflicting information on the HMRC website. Looks like the page I linked to is outdated. At least I had the good grace to state that I might be wrong regards the tax position in advance.

Like I said, I may be wrong, but according to the information on currently on the HMRC website, there is no mention of what you are saying. Did you look at the link I posted? For the 2nd time, here is a quote; Can I use vegetable oil in my car if I mix it with normal diesel? You can use vegetable oil in your car and mix it with diesel (vegetable oil is generally used as a substitute for diesel) but you will have to make arrangements to pay the Excise Duty to HMRC. See question 'How do I notify Revenue & Customs that I am using cooking oil in my vehicle?'. Important Note: It is illegal to run your car on any fuel substitute without having first paid us the duty. Have a think about this; your claim of 2500L/60L average tank = 41 refills a year. As you point out, that covers most folks need. If HMRC don't mind losing that revenue, why is road fuel duty not lower instead? I'm not convinced the defence of "I read it on a veggie forum" is going to cover my ar5e if I end up in court. If it turns out there is an allowance, then fair play, but 2500L seems hugely optimistic. Also, there is a need for fuel producers to demonstrate that their fuel is to spec. How do you go about doing that?

I strongly suspect that is complete *****cks, but I might be wrong - You need to notify them of use, and pay the duty before you use it. That would suggest from day one. No mention of a "tax free allowance". Quote from the website; "You can use vegetable oil in your car and mix it with diesel (vegetable oil is generally used as a substitute for diesel) but you will have to make arrangements to pay the Excise Duty to HMRC. See question 'How do I notify Revenue & Customs that I am using cooking oil in my vehicle?'. Important Note: It is illegal to run your car on any fuel substitute without having first paid us the duty." You are supposed to do monthly returns. Falsifying a return is an offence, and if they do catch you, you are going to get reamed. More info on the HMRC website

Loads of info out there on the web, various claims of success. No way would I be doing it on a decent new motor with EFI and loads of sensors. Might be worth it on an old banger with a mechanical pump etc., as a run around. Until you get done for tax evasion. Might as well be running red diesel, you will get fined the same. Personally, I wouldn't bother.

Stick a link up and we can all have a laugh!

That is a real nice colour. V++ sexy!

Check the polarity hasn't flipped on the battery. Connect a multi-meter up as properly, see what the reading says. If it has a negative reading, there's your problem.

Then you have a good relationship with them, and they probably know you won't mind. If they replaced bulbs and charged parts and labour, would you still be happy? As a repair workshop that is good practice in theory. My original statement is that it was not the job of a tester to do repairs as part of a test. I wasn't disputing what is or isn't good business practice. The statement I was responding to was "Honestly how difficult to a technician to tight up a bolt and and replace some bulbs ? I would not go there anymore as they are so helpfull [sic]" It still stands that the MOT inspection does not require the tester to carry out repairs, which is all I was trying to say. If it was my workshop, I would have called the customer, and asked if he wanted those repairs done, and would also only have charged for parts, if anything, so I agree with both the above comments. I was just highlighting the fact that the decision to not repair was a business decision (although not necessarily the one I would make) and nothing to do with the Testers abilities as a mechanic. The only point I would add is that although it is nice to do little jobs FOC for the sake of customer relations, scale it up to 4 or 5 tests a day and a third of them needing "little jobs". That soon adds up to a lot of time and money. It just kills me that unlike any other trade I have come across, Joe Public seems to expect the Motor Industry to work for free.

Not his job, if it was in for a test. If they done the work, they would have to bill. You want to pay workshop rates for tightening that bolt and replacing those bulbs?

Another free one is paint.net
