according to the dvla/vosa websites, it can be positioned anywhere on the front of the vehicle as long as its as 'upright as possible'. when behind glass, it makes it difficult for the anpr cameras to identify, so they dont like it.

unless he's jury rigged a battery jump starter or such like?

I'd paint it. colour code it white. or black, if you're boring.

:suspicious:

sweet :) that should have flopped the mot and then some.

I've painted several sets of alloy and steel wheels, and the best low cost long lasting finish has always come from plastikote enamel paint in a rattle can. I don't find any need to laquer or prime it either, just a good hour or so with each wheel and a fine grade wet and dry, then 4 or 6 thin...

could it be damp in the muffler bearings? that always plays havoc with the 'leccy.

good luck. did a jeep cherokee this morning, a small hole just larger than a 50p in the cill needed welding up, well, until I started looking for good metal and found there was actually no steel left under the nice shiny paint and the whole damn cill was rotten as a disco boot, and some of the...

the earth is the biggest heat sink in the world. much warmer a few inches up and out of the wind imo.

mine does it sometimes, and occasionally when I put the handbrake on the dash lights and headlights go out completely. I believe its the handbrake switch shorting or something earthing through the handbrake cable if the plastic coating is worn. you'll find the switch under the gaiter, its not...

see if'n you cant get one from a breakers.

how do certain insurance companies fail so completely with their websites? I don't mean the advertising or quoting side, its once you've paid for the insurance and have to then log in to view certificates etc. Admiral's 'portal' is a prime example of the abominably frustrating bastard...

delphi lift pump about £25 on ebay when I last looked. try locking an auto in a high gear and driving slowly at a steep hill. easy peasy to stall :rolleyes:

soak it in wd40 and work the handle. do from inside, seeing as how you have the card off, and up the handle from the outside. if you take it to a garage thats all they'll do and will charge you for the priveledge.

I think he's asking what do you think about the PEOPLE who do not want the 4x4s in the city, not what you think of 4x4s in the city. although I don't have a tratter, my opinion on this is they can keep their dirty overcrowded cesspit of a city, so long as they keep their opinions out of my...
