Had a moment of clarity when I popped to the shops for a pack of fags, and precid the bit about the gearbox and power delivery....... which may make it a tad more paletable or easier to understand. Basically, the 110 is an old fasioned 'commercial' vehicle. Ie heavy and woefully underpowered...

No, he just didn't have the Doe, bloke wanted big Bucks for it!

Extra leverage to force the ignition barel steering lock, so it can be turned with a screwdriver, or the wires on the back got at and bridged. BUT depends on the steering wheel lock and where / how its fitted, Put the long side through the 'wide' side of the wheel, then the bit they can get a...

:pop2:[wonders:] Minty & Girtie; Two Skimpy Bikini's; one mud pit churned to a morass by a hundred Landies; which would make more profit; selling tickets or opening a book........[/wonders]

I'm not sure whether that is INCREDIBLY clever, or just incredibly SAD.... (coming from the bloke that pimped something to be hidden in an engine bay!) either way it IS incredible!

Pair of 92 3.9 classics; one on commission, one on SORN, donating 'parts' as required! No..... I dont want a 4.0l GEMS to play with:eek: Well...... If I had five or six grand to spare to do a distributorless Mega-Squirt duel fuel........... with crane cam, hi-rat roller rockers, vernier timing...

I think there-in lies your FIRST problem! V8 has a HUGE amount of low down torque. It makes as much at tick-over as a TDi does at peak, and its easy to 'surf' on the torque, rather than reving the nuts off the thing, in fact its one of the 'joys' of the engine.... BUT! V8 revs from about...

Already got one sat on the drive!

The 'LPG Causes Breakdowns' legend has been circulating for YEARS! Stuff has a higher octane than petrol so can stand more advance and a weaker mixture without knock, while it has a burn initiation, basically it dont go 'bang' as quick as petrol. So you get a more even pressure through the...

OK, precid..... "I use 3 in town and D on 50+ roads" :D

Why do you have two perm mounted rigs? Is one CB and the Other Ameteur? or are both CB? Agree with the 'loose' PMR's:D Mine are half reasonable sets; have thier own lith-ion batteries, so they do transmit pretty close to limit most the time, semi-rugedised, rubber cases, and belt clips...

Twas my thought too....... unfortunately she wiped out the bank accounts before she went, then set the vampires on me to bleed me of everything I've had since!

A 'rough' guide? Geez, tough one. OK, well using 3rd as your 'driving' gear gives the more responsive shift points. So, I guess, Use 3rd anywhere you might want better response, and or the box is likely to be doing a lot of shifting. So round town, on a twisty road or in stop-start...

oportunists are legion, but there are enough 'pros' about, and a rural area isn't enough to put them off. Round my old stomping ground Stratford Upon Avon, they relished it; plenty of posh country houses, with plenty of posh cars, well away from any other, down lanes with forty minute response...

You Know, I reckon, on Planet 'R', not only must maths work different, and logic completely escaped it, but grammer must be be founded on a completely different set of protocols as well..... More and More Bizare.... if it gets any MORE surreal, Chanel 4 will be making a documentary on it...

Towing / Lifting strop has advantage it rolls up neatly for storage, but it doesn't have any natural 'give' like a rope, or the elasticity of a kenetic recovery strop. Caution I was given about them was that they were OK for towing, but for recovery, rope was better as the 'give' means you are...

No, Be Happy! They ALL play up! If yours is working be VERY happy, and enjoy it while you can! P38's put enough strain on owners nerves without you go looking for any more!

Open the hanger doors....... here comes the aeroplane! Neawmmmm, there, now dont dribble, you'll get your bib dirty......... :-) ...............save you using the 'search' function, thread's titled "Hand brake" for some strange and entirely random reason! And my contribution to it, was as...

Not Really, we're in the middle of a 'Credit Crunch'; Credit is hard to come by.....

I'm 'Retired due To Ill Health' as they put it on the insurance questionaires! Spent the week-end down in Wiltshire with the kids, camping & laning.... something like 16 hours on the trails and 24hrs in the driving seat in two days! Dont keep regular hours at the best of times, but since...
