Not that often these days tbh, when i first got it yes, the previous owner hadnt done anything to it mechanically, so although it looked great cosmetically, the bits the mattered not so much, then the ensuing work that carried on from this and some other circumstances meant i was faffing about with it for a while. Ive owned the car for 5 years now, touch wood its been pretty reliable for the last 3/4 years, i have had it off the road fot times to do things like convert it to maual etc, that was purely personal modifactions. So realistically if its in pieces, its because im fiddling for the sake of fiddling haha. Ive currently got all the boot pannels out and the everything everywhere as i got some new rear springs for a bargin and wanted to see if they would drop the back end down any further. As far as insures yeah you will struggle under 25 to get classic policies, some will honour them at 21 SOME but they wont be as cheap, my capri was on a classic policy at 21. Id wait the 5 months if you can, or buy one now and get it all serviced up ready to drive once you turn 25.

theres where your going wrong lol

Bloody wind up merch, you can have my car next spring for working your magic... You'll enjoy that.

Been talking to powertrix this evening....

I spose the thing is Dorset doesn't have a single motorway, just busy a roads and dual carriageways, stop start make cruise damn near useless.

mine worked before I removed it.

yeah ive got 265/35/18 at the rear and 225/40/18 up front.

Oh spill the damn beans already.

:s confusing, also where is vodkashots? hasn't posted in ages? and dazvert...

Intermittent stuff sucks!

Did you instal all the cruise switches on the pedals? pretty sure it doenst work anyways. In any event cruise control is useless in this day and age, just throw it out and de-clutter the engine bay.

having one as a toy/second car is soooo much better than using it daily, a zed on ice is no fun lol. neither is having to know its got to be back on piece by Monday.... not to mention sitting in a traffic que and watching pound notes falling out the back.

I dunno what the weather is like where you are but its been chucking it down here...targas leak for fun, try sprasying water over your roof and waiting to see droplets foprm on the inside of the roof. Check your engine fluid levels, and pour some water down the targa drain holes check the water comes out the sill, if it doesn't the tube insides probably popped off.

I see a mob mounting come on numbers!

if the powersteering is working that tends to suggest the speedo sensor is working, iirc consult shows your speedo from the ecu? so you could try that to see if you get a reading, that would tend to indicate to me the cabling from there on isn't right.

that is an example of fail, that's an awful colour!

is it going to noz's place aint that far is it?

That does clear up how the reindeer fly and how he gets round the world in one night.

I didn't drive mine for about 6 months and had this issue, took the clocks apart and cleaned the connections so far still good.

Strange what you get used to isn't it.

£95 for a beaver... http://www.transporterhire.co.uk/transporterhire_co_uk_recovery_truck_hire_prices.php

lol, I cant taste the difference anyways, wouldn't surprise me if it was made by the same people already. Coca cola is only as big as it is cos santa sponsers them.

You can rent one for the day for between 45 and 70 quid mark, id rather do that personally than drive that car without it setup.

Is it something to do with a certain American company?

That looks a bit like zedworld lol.
