I'm voting no to AV but before everyone jumps down my throat listen to my reasons: Av is fairer but only 'proper' AV which is known as 'Full Preferential Voting'. This is where the numbering is mandatory IE you have to number the candidates in order. The half arsed system (AV) that is being put...

You know me aswell its Bev from CAA. Are you planning on taking that 90 of your off roading then?

get an oil spy and check any you want to buy. they are like 7 quid for a big pack, well worth not getting the headache of buying a landy with hidden faults in the engine.

thats a good price for new... well done sir,

mechanic yes...novice no lol, if it goes wrong hes gunna have no electrics then some garage is gunna pull his pants down for over a grand to fit it all... just label the wires up...

GKN are aviation spec so very good. I believe Landy ones are just OEM ones repackaged and repriced. I was just going to suggest changing the UJ's its pretty easy if you have a vice...

Tedious 5 not all bad a?

i mentioned crimping solely because if you don't know how to solder it is the easy option. Personally I would use hermetically sealing splices and a heat gun. Plus if crimp correctly using decent crimps then they will be fine. Most problems come when people use cheap crimps with no witness marks...

Just about sums up electrickery stuff. You might as well have a go and if you fail then send it to the garage. Make sure you have a proper set of strippers and crimps don't use halfords ****e or you'll be doing it again in 3 months. Proper fitting is easier than fault finding. Use stripmasters...

Not a bad thing to have hanging around if you don't use it i'm sure someone will... Was the management light on when you lost power? If the orange light went then the ECU will have limped it before the damage happened... If you lost power in normal function (no lights on dash board) then you...

you could go on the police forum and ask though...

sounds like a crock of **** to me matey. I doubt they would be able to pin much on you other than breach of peace, I don't know of any specific driving laws. Probably having a bad day... It would be there fault if they hit you from behind, no questions asked. I think it was 'friendly advice' lol

i would be prepared to travel far for the right defender. Why don't you slow down and sell your clio privately then look for a nice defender. I'm sure there are plenty of kids who wanna buy a speedly little clio. I know exactly what you mean I went from a 90 to an RX 8 then an abarth punto...

we were obvs writing at the same time lol. as a fellow tedious 5 owner i feel your pain...
