  2. It's just about April. The first run of the year is almost here. Choices . . . Studded snow tyres or just 'full wets'? What is going on? There can't be enough de catted Scoobs around cause the global warming isn't warming enough!!! Snow today around Lesmahagow, not lying but well piled up on the cars. Was up the M80 this morning in Glasgow and around Stepps there is snow lying in the outside lane? The hardshoulder was about an inch deep and white not slushy We're all doomed. . . . .
  3. Maybe you should ask for one of your three (posh c*nt) maps to be labelled "£2.10 for Vpower? Shove it up your hole - Unleaded for me please"
  4. Small coincidence that Tesco 99 sponsor them to the hilt?
  5. Was it Thorney Motorsport?
  6. At the same time!
  7. I fell asleep YAWN with all this boring banter! Quote redone Glyn, Del: London anyday mate!
  8. Mods? Keyboard warriors! We're on the frontline Doc, battling it out in the nitty gritty world sans Vpower! No patients today mate?
  9. Doctor: f**k off to your own region! Derek mate, now you've not got a hatch, so to speak, since regaining the burble, you can do whatever you want Mon the slanty backit Scoobs!
  10. Derek, I'll speak to you later about unauthorised meets
  11. Do. Absolutely do.
  12. I filled up last night at Cairn Lodge(aka Happendon). It was £1.25/litre I also had the forethought to ask the cashier how much stock they had. Scottish 20 year old lassie. "Pump 4?" "F**k knows pal, but since I'm THE only car on the forecourt I hope so!" "Sixty something ..... enter your pin" "Do you know how much Vpower you have in stock?" Eyes roll into back of head, thinks to herself - he's asked a question! "How?" "There seems to be a national shortage, I just wondered if you knew how much you had?" Another incredible delay while she computed this. I actually looked over the counter to see if she was plugged in! "Vpower?" Now I thinks to myself - wish I'd never asked "Goodbye" As I strolled out came this statement "We've got hunners! Noone ever buys Vpower cause it's so dear!" So there Anyone needs it: Cairn Lodge has hunners!
  13. Looks good Derek, looking forward to a wee swatch! When will all work be completed?
  14. That's the only way to do it Colin, unless, as you say, you have a sports cat. The cat does affect the noise.
  15. Here's a prediction - Sutil won't win
  16. It doesn't need to be perfect, you're opening the line anyway and you need to bleed it on completion of the refurb. Best for you, and easiest, is to get a piece of rubber hose and push it over the end of the brake hose when you remove it from the caliper, fold or blank the end of that just to stop all fluid loss. Remember to pump your caliper pistons out to the max before you break the lines so as to ease their removal!
  17. Must have a truck gearbox, it's got 3rd lo and 3rd hi
  18. That's difficult Robert. I would make a blank nut to fit the end of the hose then. You'll lose a little but not all.
  19. Do it any way you like Robert. Clamp the flexis so you don't lose so much fluid. If you're only doing front you won't need to bleed the rears.
  20. It's got to be a particular oil. Steering Tightening Isn'tit? oil which is quite hard to come by. Or, for yours iirc, Wheel Release Xtract oil! No, mate, it doesn't matter - engine oil will do. Just get some on it and turn from lock to lock. Watch for the oil turning rusty and if it does monitor the U/J for play. Depends how badly seized it is as to how much chances of wear and then failure there is.
  21. U/J Oil the U/J, it's a two second job
  22. Dipsy is right, their car should be 114, someone must have put a 100 spare in!
  23. Hope it wasn't a civil servant on strike who threw down nails cause you're a civil servant who's not on strike by any chance???
