I reckon I could do 550 from full in my 300 auto, if it was all on the motorway. ...Running off to find my tin hat...:)

I find it very tough to trust anyone that tries to sell used cars. I'm sure they, for the most part, are genuine but have just had a bad rep since used cars have been about. If you think about it, you only have the sellers word that it isn't held together with snot and gaffer tape. Mine has...

When I get mine back from the garage (see my other thread about Rusty boot floor, MOT and possible dodgy dealer), I will be checking it with my local MOT centre (who are very helpful even if they don't do welding). I have been looking in to it-if you suspect that the garage that issues your MOT...

Does it sound odd that I have always wanted an angle grinder?.... I'm not sure what power snips are, but I am envisioning a 'Jaws of Life' like tool, but smaller :) Outside of cars, there hasn't ever been anything I couldn't fix, fit or repair with a hammer and a roll of duck tape (God bless...

I have answered my own question by taking the Disco for an MOT. Yes, I do need to learn to weld! Failed on a fairly big hole in the boot (just under the kids' seats!!!) and a bit on the rear driver's side body mount/sill area. I rang 8 garages in Bedworth/Nuneaton/Coventry area on Saturday...

Update: Rang the dealer this morning and without fight he took it back and is doing the work, he was full of regret. He did seem really shocked by the hole in the boot. Hopefully will get it back Tuesday or Wednesday.:D

Thanks guys, I'll ring the snakey little **** in the morning and try to get it sorted. I'll let you know how it pans out.

Nothing about the tax or MOT

I picked it up and the guy watched me transfer the kids' car seats from my old car...I can feel a red mist building. Couldn't get in touch with him because they had shut when I had finished at the MOT centre.

Hey everyone, I have a series of very important and related questions, but first a little background. I paid for and collected my N reg Disco two weeks ago. Sorted my insurance, but the vehicle was taxed until the end of August and I was told the car had an MOT until November but the boss had...

What about a bottle of K-seal, magic stuff! Fixed my Lucy right up...for a while.

Mine is a 96 N and I have had no issues with leaking (yes I know I have just tempted fate), just a little rot at the back part of the sill on the driver's side, the rest was considerately replaced with box section by one of the previous owners. The advantage with a even a late 300 is that...

Thanks Mr Nice. Having read a little more I am more relaxed. I know what you mean about some being nails and some being alright. I spoke to my wife granddad, who used to work for Rover a trillion years ago. He worked the day shift (this being back in the days when we made things in this...

Hey everyone. I have finally realised my childhood dream and bought a Disco. I am very pleased with it, even if it is a little slow off the mark! hHaving spent the last 4 years driving around in a Lucida, I needed something that could pull a house and fit the contents of one in the boot. It...
