Hi all, have relented & emailed the relevant councils. Will update when have a response. Done the same RE Standon — we all know it’s legal but the home owner is a massive anti so will be useful to have formal response on hand.

It’s a UCR so road rather than byway — but agree it’s out of date (and some of the star ratings are far off)

Just to say she’s still like this — claiming it’s closed, threatening to call the police etc.

Hello all, Trying to chase down some braking issues ahead of the MOT. When desires the pedal, I get a slight initial braking force (no pedal resistance) that dissipates, with the pedal going to the floor. If I push hard once it is on the floor it will brake properly, but with little...

Unfortunately Suffolk doesn’t have one. TW2/FindMyStreet don’t show it, as it’s a UCR it isn’t on the DM, but OS maps show it as a yellow road

Hi all, Sorry for reviving the thread. Me and some mates are going to Essex tomorrow from Norfolk — has anyone done the UCR section off the Ford at Wagger Farm, and has anyone tried doing the Layham Ford? Thanks

Hi all, a few of us are doing a laning trip this weekend down in Essex. I was wondering if anyone has done Hullbridge recently & how it went? Thanks!

Not quite With the hazard switch ‘off’ no indicators work With it ‘on’ the green trailer light illuminates on the dash and indicators work as normal No way to turn the hazards on (!) This is without a trailer connected (I don’t really tow)

Hi all, On my 1988 110, the hazard switch when on illuminates the trailer light, but the hazards don’t work. Indicators work fine, but require the hazards to be ‘on’ (e.g. trailer light on) MOT in May — any suggestions as to where to look? Thanks!

Amazingly the switch has decided to stay ‘on’ so now being operated by the application of the fuse (!)

Thanks! Managed to get them working again now but will bear in mind if they go again

Hello all, Currently on holiday in Beulah (wales) and my wiper switch has packed up on my 1988 110. Trying to find a part, but if all else fails, is there a way to ‘hotwire’ the switch? Many thanks in advance

To continue my habit of reviving old threads - first attempted this in my 110 on 285/75/16’s, standard height, and HD springs a few months ago on a solo night run (on route down to wales). That, and the 2 fords to the NE of the TRO’d west acre lane, got to the top of the headlights even when...

Hi all, Wipers on the 1989 110 suddenly stopped working last night. Managed to get them working for a short time this AM but then stopped again Undone some dash and the arm is moving on the passenger side of the passenger wiper motor (if that makes sense) but nothing else Can anyone give me...

Is this a particularly challenging job or something that I should be able to do on my driveway?
