As an aside to this story, and because I feel like it I will tell you a story about sun bleached front grills. My mate "Big Dave " has a P38 RR and his grill had gone grey in the sun. He saw a thing on U tube about rubbing it with peanut butter to restore it. So he blows into my farm looking to...

No a ****ed up ex soldier who tried to replace adrenaline with vodka and still maintain a position in life. Apparantly .

If I was stll in England I would be after you for that plate...R..HAB. REHAB!! Where they tried to put me before I fled to Spain !!

It was called the Swan.... some things still come back to you after all the years.. Is it still there?

I could not think for the life of where that place was. I went to a Bruce Springstein concert years ago with my then GF, later wife, even later money grabbing bitch etc. All it is is F""king roundabouts. Would recommend the hotel in the High Street at Leyton Buzzard!!

For 9k it would need to be dry and mint. HPI checked etc. Be interested to see the V5. Has it been "in trade" a lot sold by dealer to dealer ? Keep looking, they are out there. Took me a long time to find mine!

For a quick diagnosis try this. Find a local not busy MOT station. Run it in, explain the problem, up on the lift. In 30 seconds the tester will have a bar on it. He will know almost instantly. Off the ramp, bung him a tenner. Now you know ! Rest of it is up to you, depends when your next MOT is...

Set on Ebay now 50 quid

How long the tyres been on?...and how many roundabouts are there in Gillingham!!

Or stick a egg white in ! Told to me by an old soldier who had been stuck in the desert !!

There is a lot of myth and mystery about autoboxes and it seems owners accept bad ones as "thats the way it is". If it was a clutch playing up they would get it sorted, but the idea of getting an auto box sorted seems to give them the vapors with cost, plus a lot of garages are not willing to...

Top tip.. Use low ratio to get up the court house steps, and turn the engine off when you get inside.

Or as I have stupidly done,wear flip flops. Ouch!

Thanks for the tip fellas. Still waiting for the auto elec guy to show up. Should have been here yesterday morning !! I have had a go at the things you suggested. All seems OK . The compressor feels like its operating ( slight vibration ) but nothing is happening to the air springs. To confirm...

OK Old skool. here is the deal. I have a 2002 V8 Disco. Apart from the engine oil all other fluids have probably been in since birth. Price me for the job. Change everything. Has 30k on the clock and no service history. Gonna limp home and see me old mum in the new year :stick one years ticket...

You need to speak to Katie at Ace parts. I had the same problem. Mine is a D2 but also a D3 when it comes to lights. They have a reference site that tells you the correct bulb you need. Its not perfect because they sent the correct bulbs, exept the front spots which were wrong- NO PROBS i phoned...

Works over here as well. If you take an "Older" oil burner for MOT (ITV) the first thing the guy checks is the engine oil level. If its not on the button you fail. Bye Bye ! Reason is if when he puts the sensor up the pipe and its too high he will put it outside and red line it for a while. Then...

OK LED.. LCD whatever.. Stll good.. MOT could be an issue?? Very bright !!

Then look at LCD tail / stop lights. Freeky white bulbs that go red when activated.. gotta have them!

Got a phone number if it helps.
