    Actually its up there on the left! Isle of Anglesey. North Wales And no I don't want a fiesta. I am keen on the newer type Mondeo Estate 2.0TDCi or even the Pug 407 SW. The thing is its my only transport (the disco) as the Mrs doesnt drive so everywhere we go is in the disco and it can be...

    Anyone want a Disco?

    I'm in no rush, I just put it through MOT with no probs and I'll sit and wait and wait and wait. Not worth much in a PX thats for sure. They give you next to nowt and then charge the earth for the car you buy. At least if I sell it and pay cash for my next motor I'll get a good deal.

Puddle of oil noticed at the services and had to tighten oil cooler hose up thats all. Fuel economy could be better but hey its a big motor that looks like a brick! None of the...

    K&N Induction Kit

    I think we are kidding ourselves. The best ever was on the way to Minehead when I stuck religiously to 65mph and got 31. The K&N actually seemed to make things worse economically but definitely improved performance. I guess you will never get both performance and economy. As far as selling it...

    What do you get on a full tank ??

    Just come back from a trip to Northampton and then on to Brighton and back to North Wales. averaged 28mpg at 65mph , nursing it along. The last leg of the journey from Brighton to NW used up nearly a tankful, just been to Bangor and the light came on at 450 miles. Anyone wanna buy it?

    proposterous!

    If it was cheap enough I'd buy 45 gall drums of the stuff. I think you can still get 1L bottles in Lidl for 78p so I amy have to go down that route.

    proposterous!

    Hope that applies to JAGS Rollers Mercs and BMWs too! £440? thats unbelievable! The daft thing is newer vehicles are less polluting than the old ones which arent affected by the increase!

    K&N Induction Kit

    Don't know about chips and EDC, mines the old fashioned type. The only other mod I am considering is the fan removal but I want to be sure about being able to manually control the A/C fans first.

    proposterous!

    Only if its registered after April 2007, Not round here you can't. Too little competition so they charge what they like.

    proposterous!

    Am I missing something? Did the chancellor increase the price of veg oil as well as fags and booze? Tesco 3l Veg oil was £2.21 for 3 litres the other day and now its £2.98 - unbelievable! daylight robbery and extortion if you ask me! Lidl still 78p/L but in 1L bottles. IU am working on a way...

    K&N Induction Kit

    Hi Dave Firstly, more low down power, less need to change down and definitely more acceleration. However noisier and the turbo whistle is more pronounced. I reckon if I drive as I have done it will be better on fuel. However, because it sounds better and goes better I know I will be tempted to...
