Shell V-Power all the way re high performance fuels, both petrol and diesel...Always in my case bought from a trusted garage with a trusted management for obvious reasons.

+1 on the pills :( My mrs used to say it was a shame they did away with the scrappage allowance, as she fancied trading me in for a younger model. I was initially quite upset, but i suppose constantly smelling of wee didn't help. :(

Ahh yes, but yours will end up an intergalactic space hippo with the super blower turbo inti matter pod fitted :D

Fingers crossed its still there this time!. These posh spec "super hippos" seem to not hang around. Make yourself up a check list, and get the steel toe caps out! :)

Ahh, so it was a waterlogged hippo :) I mentioned the Bosch leads, as i had a "Bubbles" exhaust about 2 years ago. Shotgunned the whole system..Coil/Dizzy cap/plugs/Injectors/fuel pump/ even inlet temp sensor. Replaced the lot!...and it was a plug lead!. So threw some new lucas ones on...

Nothing should be attempted in the morning without tea! (or coffee in my case). It takes 3 cups just to prime the system, wait for compression, flick the lever, check there is equal clouds of smoke from each ear. Then the day begins :D

That doesn't look to bad, nice spec and low miles for sure. Would want it a bit cheaper than that mileage or not. Black is a sod of a colour to keep clean. The one owner bit is a plus for me. Worth a sniff :)

Nice one, Event are supposed to be good i hear, and not a bad price by the look of it. Laff on the tunes!. Have fun :)

What make did you get Colinco?...are they any good/quiet etc?

Thats a bugga!...never mind, plenty more Hippo's in the river. For the next one you come across VCU wise just stick it in reverse on full lock and check if it really struggles to move after a while. If it struggles slightly, i would say its ok. Lots of debate over this, so that is just a...

Ultimate flash or what!?... Twin pipe stainless from Mr Tyre in Nottingham. For the pampered hippo who has everything...lol!:)

A 1.8 of your very own!!..what more could a man want :) Treat "Bubbles" (blame Grumpy) to a new set of Bosch plug leads if you can swing it money wise. Wouldn't advise using Lucas. Cant remember if it has a dizzy cap, if it does change that as well...and the plugs/dizzy arm. Just give it a...

There should be no continuity between the antenna and the knife/wheel mount. Think of it as a live wire, and the mount/knife is the earth. You should get a circuit/continuity between the knife/mount and the screw bit on the mount/outer bit of the PL259 plug (earth). Short antennas are also...

Yup, that looks right :)

:) sleep well when you do. cant be easy being an insomniac..lol! :)

The base of the antenna should not touch metal, the whole thing should be properly insulated. Think of the whip itself being the "live", and the negative/braid of the coax going to earth. You shouldn't need gash wires going all over the place, the existing spare wheel mount should be enough...

Nothing taken as rude at all, or daft questions :) Frankly (and i am probably being rude this side), your mount is not up to the job. Have seen the bayonet/multi washer stuff on many installations, especially trucks, and it doesn't seem to 100% do the job. Have always much preferred internal...

Yea, weird stuff RF

No worries, hope it may have been of even some help. Have never had any joy personally with snail mounts or 3/8's mounts in general. Always found the Sirio stuff was practically plug and play. The best solution being a nice big mag mount on the roof, or a hole drilled in the roof for max ground...

IMHO I would be tempted to start again with the wire (coax) etc, Sirio do a nice mount (link supplied), it includes the coax, and you can always make it longer with an extension lead (x2 PL259 plugs with coax in between). Tidy the whole thing up, get a longer springer antenna etc eventually...
