Interesting times. My TV / internet/ radio will be switched off when the polls close on Thursday and back on late friday afternoon for the final result watching bit by bit will be torturous. I will be voting but after that it will be a case of "tell me when it's over"

ELO..............awesomeness

And loads will be drunk/hungover from celebrating/comiserating!

:lol::lol:

typo......"cruise liners currently berthed at Lerwick. ..."

There are 28 members of NATO, 20 of those countries dont have nuclear weapons. Although it's a stated aim of the Nats to remove them from Scotland, I think it will (if ever) be a long time before it actually happens. I'm sure politicians (as is their nature) will find a way to both reject nukes and go along with them simultaneously! The EU might reject Scotland as a member however given that the country has 60% of the EU oil, a huge chunk of the EU gas reserves, 25% of EU offshore renewable energy as well as wind energy. There are 6 cruise lelsewhere currently berthed at Lerwick in Shetland to house the construction workers who are expanding the Sullom Voe oil terminal. UK figures published state that there will be 20,000 new jobs in that development over the next two years and that due to skills shortages, we (the UK) will only be able to fill 8000, the rest will come from elsewhere. I dont know who/how/when etc Scotland's membership of the EU would be decided, but if resource rich industrial giants like Romania, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia etc can join, them I'd expect that there's a chance that Scotland might also be considered for membership. Whaterever happens on Thursday happens, it will at least be interesting to watch.

I sprayed WD40 on all connectors, left engine running, and then jet washed, I used a high pressure airline to blow everything out and it was ok. I also did it to a V12 Jag and it didn't run right again for a week!

Possibly green deposits in the coil/injector connectors.

:lol::lol:

Wouldn't it be just fab if the subsidised scots just voted yes and unburdened the rest of the UK with the expense of keeping them. Maybe if the rest of the UK had a vote in the referendum they would give the YES campaign a massive boost!

Oil pressure switch a bit awkward but doable. Access from below engine. Fan must be faulty poss.due to a duff thermo switch.

I'm so sorry to hear your news. Your post really moved me. I hope you can stay strong and get through the rest of your trip. Good luck. R.I.P. your mum.

Please let us know how you get on. Good luck

I bought a car in 1996 for the reg number. The car was taxed and MOTd. I got a valuation for the reg no. from Motor Marks reg number dealer in Leicester. I didnt send off the V5 to put it in my name. The car was put in the back of my garage and largely forgotten about. Fast forward to 2005 and the issue of the new V5 docs. I applied for the doc, sending the old v5 to DVLA. They then sent back a letter requesting the VIN etc. The registration dealer had, a few months earlier, applied for a v5 (I wasnt informed as the car wasnt in my name). They had some garage write out an MOT, taxed the car and then applied to put number on retention. When this was done, they sent the v5 back declaring the car was scrapped. I then applied for a V5 . The reg number co. Motor Marks, fraudulently transferred the number. The DVLA then issued an alternative number.

:lol:

I have a car that was technically scrapped. The V5 was returned to DVLA with box "Vehicle Scrapped" ticked. This was in 2005 when the V5 still had the option to self register a vehicle as scrapped. When I applied for an updated V5 the dvla wrote to ask me to check the ID of the car. I supplied the info and they sent a V5 (with a different reg no.)

I think it would mean cutting a hole in the bonnet for the blower to stick through

Make sure the thermostat is fitted the right way up. Its a very easy mistake to fit it incorrectly.

Based on the above you might not be in the sh#t. You need to make sure that the original VIN of the "new" 1990 car is on the shell and hopefully also the ID tag on the bonnet landing panel. Decode the VIN and tag to get details of original build date and plant and present this along with reference details as to where you got the info from (website/nissan/here etc) Take the car for an MOT . This will be tested against the shell's VIN no. And take it from there with DVLA. With a bit of luck you wont need an IVA. good luck

BTW the minute you tell DVLA that you have swapped the bodyshell there's a high chance that they will suspend or withdraw the V5 until you can prove to them that you're not doing what you have done. ...so dont tell DVLA!

You cant use the scrapyard shell with your plates/vin/V5 etc. What you are doing in that instance is effectively "ringing" the shell. You will be passing off a car bodyshell built in 1990 as a 1992 car. Thats a no no. You either need to use the vehicles original shell plus 2 components or a brand new shell. You'll have a car that carries the stamped VIN of the scrapped car on the bulkhead. You could cut out the stamped VIN plates and weld yours into the scrapyard shell but if someone flags up that your car has had an identity change you'll be up sh#t creek. If an MOT tester /traffic cop/potential buyer/insurance company engineer etc notice this you could have all sorts of trouble to deal with. Good luck with it,

Very similar to Rays Volk CV pro centre cap ( rare too)

Drugs in my lights?....... And inside the tyres, fuel tank, sill cavities, door casings, sump, roof lining, spare wheel etc oops! Wrong forum!:lol:

Its bad luck mate. You could jig it or get it on a dozer and get the rail straightened and get the geometry set up. Itll never be 100% perfect but a decent tradesmans could improve it 100% and keep you motoring and a bit safer too. Good luck

I have always fancied one but I see lots of them in thehe motor auctions and they are generally avoided by the trade unless absolutely mint with low miles. Ive seen 2006 cars for around £800. I should take a punt at that price but they're cheap for a reason.
