Massive rain cloud over the botton arf ov england. If only it would move up er bit.

Got me harvester up and sorted. Din't order any clips so eye tie wrapped it to me boiler condensate pipe then run it along the top ov me fence. Temp install. Will get some propper clips ferrit. Late nights recently doing it. Wevver said it were...

Morning All. :D A cool & overcast one at the moment. :( Mini club tonight. :) Have a great day. :D

Well, the son on law did it. So the filters and all the cyclones now have sick in them so it pumps out eau de puke constantly, bit like a fart gun. "Errm, could you strip it down an clean it for me..?" 'Foxtrot Oscar, monkey boy..'

You might need a carpet washer, but the hoover will pick up vom…made the mistake of hosting a party a few years back for some Neanderthals…next morning was a mess lots of regurgitant and one splashdown. Jeez man. Hoover did it but without the...

Not broken had a bust water hose & the lad said hes got his eye on somit else take it, years mot too. Im looking for another one as im going to convert my boat to run on m57 engines. :D

Does it have a standard full exhaust, or a straight through because after taking out my middle box and taking the cat off it, mine whistles away quite happily

You took it in to the garage with a knocking noise and they've turned round and told you they've diagnosed a knocking noise!? Maybe they should earn their money, get a stethoscope or and see if it's coming from the top/bottom/front/back

Quick update for the folks who were kind enough to lend me their advice a few weeks ago. Just heard from JLR. Email said “we’ve noticed a knocking from the engine… and here’s a quote of €1300 to take the diff off and remove the sump to inspect...

Alain has just emailed me, he has some severe personal problems but he took the time to tell me this. He just had an engine rebuilt by a guy who has appaz a very high reputation but 4000 kms later it has seized, also the garagey bloke said that...

Funny you should say that...... I think the Vax Spotwash cleaner is a godsend for such mishaps.

Pop quiz. How thick would you have to be to hoover up kiddie vomit with Dyson? 🤪 Freelander owners can pass..

Your phrase "cars I kept the longest" really got me thinking. The problem being that I have a habit of driving cars and then sometimes, especially if they break down, simply parking them up until I can get around to fixing them. Which means that...

Famous for being frontwheel drive as the words "traction avant" indicates, but apparently their drive shafts were a weak point! I know a Brit chap who runs a B& B with his wife, we used to stay with them when going north to the ferry. He is ex...

When I was a youngster working out of IBM South Bank (next to the National Theatre) we used to use a local boozer at lunchtimes and it was opposite the waterloo East station stairway entrance. In one of the railway arches was a business/bloke...

Have wanted a Traction for a long time. surprisingly they are not the most expensive of veteran cars over here. Not cheap mind but still not all that bad.

Had a few as well but wish I'd kept the '52 Citroen 6 cylinder Traction avant, the Moskvitch and the 66 Austin Cooper The cars I kept the longest were a 2.2 diesel Renault 21, a diesel Pug 106 and an 05 Ford Ranger pickup All other vehicles...

That post re the 50 best Britsh cars. I am tempted to start one on "Cars I have owned and wish I still did" In my case, Mk2 Jag, Mk1 Cortina, Opel Manta 1900 A series, Renault 17, Dolomite Sprint, "Hot" mini, even a Renault 6 for heaven's sake.

Me pipe is ere. Well appy wivvit.

Issit broke'd? They normally are.

Really do feel for both you, your W and the old dear. So sad what dementia does. Do so hope that it gets sorted out eventually. :(

Love it!! The pipes under the floor, the rerouting, the new rad. I even ran pipes into my garage from the utility to heat it. Not a lot, but it does make a bit of difference.

Cheeky Sod! I done more plumbering than you by a mile. Just in the house I am sitting in at the moment: The house had nowt in when we moved in. Kitchen: double sink together with a dishwasher. Utility: sink plus washing machine. Downstairs bog...

This is getting like ordering a chinese!

Nothing perverse about that at all. I too love them and would have one in a heartbeat. 1500 obvs. Mine was a 1200 and a bit weak. But my dad had a 1500 back in the 60s, great little cars. I got rid of the 1200 back in 1981, I'd had it a coupla...
