I don't have Sky+ or HD. My box was installed 16/5/2006 according to Sky. It is a Pace dv3 box. I do not connect to telephone line so presumably I don't get updates! Does this additional info alter the advice given so far?

What benefit are they on? Thought it was only available to OAP's which I can't complain about, but not to work-shy scallies!!

Thanks- will give it a try!!

signal strength shows grey box only 100% ?? signal quality 1/2 grey box - 50%? Had system unplugged today. When reset it says no signal being rec'd for 2 or 3 mins then all my channels work!! Not sure how long this will last as has happened before!

Briefly! Have had problems with Sky- have now got a new viewing card- problem still persists (i.e. cant get all channels but only intermittent problem- it's ok for a short while - max of one hour- if I unplug from mains. Spoken to Sky several times (always different people) & they now want to send an engineer at cost to me of £65!! If a new box is needed they can give me a reconditioned one at no charge but only has 90 day warranty. The box was installed 15/5/2006 so not exactly 'old'. Any suggestions? Better to get a local engineer out or ditch SKY & go cable?

One way to prevent condensatio/ice on inside of screen when setting off is to equalise the screen temperature by driving with windows down ( and scarf , gloves & wooly hat on!)

That's fine by me!

I'm not gettin my spuds out in this weather!!

Jackie Graham?

I used to travel in Midlands & would occasionally tune in to 'Heart' but got fed up of them playing either UB bloody 40, Eddie Grant or that bird from wolverhampton who's name I cant remember!!

I once owned a Citroen Dyane (mechanically same as a 2cv), only 600cc. Front wheel drive, very narrow tyres & was absolutely brilliant in snow & ice. Crap rest of time!!

Have spoken to LCF- £30 1 day £50 2 days. seems cheap enough so haven't tried any others!

does anyone know where to buy these? They are used to raise vehicle by coupling to exhaust, the bag is then inflated to raise the car etc.

thanks- will ring tomorrow.

Sounds ideal. Is it twin axle? does it have lights & reflectors? Does he provide ratchet straps or do I need my own? Hope to hear from you soon as don't want to miss car!!

Am looking to hire a car trailer to move Nissan 200. I have a Transit pick-up to do the towing but need a suitable car trailer to put the 200 on. Can anyone recommend a hire company or have one I can hire privately?

Thank you, Duncan. One Dragon out already!

Have had it valued at £15k by Registration Transfers (they'd add their 'cut' on top, of course!

Yeah- you need an engine that's ok for going uphill as well as down!!

No. Am looking to buy a 'Z' related one from the proceeds! The one for sale is CHR 151 S.

thanks Tango450- very useful- all I need now is a buyer!

I thought the whole point of this comparison was that they ARE in the same league!?

I have one for sale but don't know the 'ins & outs' of the paperwork process. can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

How about telling her that your boyfriend doesn't approve of her? Should work!!

We know it's all set-up for them but at least they could pretend to navigate the route! There was only one mention of 'which way to go' , the short route over the volcano or the long way. even when they set off from the riverbank there was no mention of 'which way?'
