It's fixed and back on the road :clap2::clap2::clap2: Next week it's MOT time again :faint2: :faint2: :faint2: lets hope it passes without costing me a shed load......

My little Lotus has got nitrogen in it's tyres... Plus it's not that expensive and a bottle lasts for ages. I'll give you a race! I'll even give you a head start!

Well I'm not sure :scratching_chin:

Mine did the same thing last week :-( It must be the time of the year (or the month!)

For once I can say I knew that! Still there's a **** load of stuff I don't have a clue about!!!

I will of had mine for a year in two weeks time and the list so far is: Air con re-build and re-fill £250 Diesel Bob power chip (I know it's not a repair but it is essential if you want to get anywhere the same day!!!) £250 ish New back tire £100 Four Arnott Gen II air bags £400 (fitted)...

I found one for £144 all in, a couple of the other guys have them with no complaints. When I got my Rangie last year the air con didn't work :-( I wasn't shocked! I had a chap I've used in the past come round to take a look and he told me I needed a new condenser :-( then he told me that as...

I thought there must've been a way! They filled our tank last week and I think we paid about 55p a litre. I guess the rest must be tax! The robbing feckers...

Before I bought my diesel Rangie I looked into LPG. Mainly because I've got a 1000 litre tank in the back garden for heating and wondered just how hard would it be to get it out?

If you ask me that looks bespoke! There used to a firm near me that could make you one from scratch or repair your old one, but now that most rads are made of plastic they've all gone out of business I guess. Shame really. But wouldn't mind finding out who they are myself!

Thanks for that, If I didn't want advice I'm in the wrong place! ;-) I'll give them a call in my lunch hour.

Do you know I had a feeling you were going to remind me about that! My friend loves to remind me that the land of wine and cheese is a little forgiving to the car driver! Mind you isn't income tax a bit steep over there?

Thanks for that advice Keith, With that in mind I'm going to ring the company some of the guys have mentioned and ask them about the baffle. I'm really hoping it's only the rad and nothing more serious as the tax and mot are both dew as well! :-(

Thanks, I just had a quick look and there about £144 ;) Lets hope it's just the rad and nothing more serious!!! :eek:

Thanks for that. ;) Did you mean "Budget Radiators"? :confused: I found them on Ebay £124 + P&P? I don't think I'll order one until I've had a good look to see if there's more damage than just a split rad :(

After spending a pile of cash just before Christmas on airbags air pump and glow plugs my trusty Rangie repays me by splitting her radiator :-( I've had and look through some of the other threads and I'm getting the feeling this isn't going to be cheap!

You've got to love the freedom of speech act!

Has anyone seen a Rangie for sale around here?

You see that's the beauty of these sites! If you don't know what your talking about (like me) there's always someone who does! Unless they really know what they're looking for I don't think many will get spotted!

I'm not sure how your box works but mine has a wire going to the boost sensor so it doesn't start working until the turbo comes on song so I guess I could put a switch on it if I wanted!
