    One For Enthusiasts Of Old Cars

    There is some evidence from various enthusiast sites/forums to downgrade this potentially epic site to "utterly incorrect". Still, it's a nice diversion for a few minutes of nostalgia. :)

    More diesel news!

    Nah, I don't buy French gash and diesels in general are no use to me. I don't do enough miles to warrant their higher purchase price. As a confirmed planet raper I prefer big cheap petrols.....S6, V8 or V12.

    More diesel news!

    And it's supposed to be hygroscopic so there are fears of petrol tanks and lines rotting from the inside out. Supposedly the premium petrols will not have ethanol in them for a few years after the boggo unleaded.....watch the price of those rocket even more as folk switch to them. ****ing...

    More diesel news!

    Don't think I will ever buy a diesel, no point at the age I buy cars, the reliability is just not there. Could be some pain coming for petrol users too though if they insist on adding more and more ethanol into the petrol.

    Apollo 15/30B Boiler - BG suggest change - limited parts?

    Well the heat exchanger is obsolete for a start.....there's not much else in a B to worry about. Problem with BG lads is they see the headline saying parts are obsolete but almost never check which ones. The majority of the time its fancy fixings or the outer case that's obsolete and all the...

    Be careful.....insurance brokers will try to get out of any claim involving a vehicle not MOT'd at the time of a claim. Ask me how I know. :evil:

    Selling via EBay

    Also remember you get charged for ending a listing early, I don't know the costs but some people I know were not to happy about it. I stopped using Ebay some time ago for selling, it's full of scum waiting to scam you and Ebay are no help at all.

    Finding the Chassis number of my car?

    If you are desperate to put it on the road and have no other way of doing so with the current shell; I would "buy" a VIN off a scrapped car and use that. Finding a completely ****** TR7 that will never see the road again would be possible.....they love a good bit of rot after all. :)

    Bristish gas fitted new rad valve can this be shut off ?

    Two second fix.....BG lockshields come with the option of either a blank cover like the one on yours or a handle type that can be used to turn it on or off. Would be ****ed off for the recall but call them back to get the other type.
