Hi All, What's the score with sourcing rover parts? We have 2 cars - a knackered Fiesta which needs replacing and a good A class. I could sell them both and get a nice Rover 25 for her and a nice 45 for me for the same money. Both would be 2003/2004 and 20-40k miles which would mean we...

Thanks gman, I might just have a go.

Thanks Peter, I'll bear that in mind when I come to look. Although I was thinking of something younger, you have to think of rust and wear and tear and stuff. The last thing I want is to get a new car only to have to start with the exhaust, breaks and bodywork all over again. The obvious...

I think if I were part exing the GF I'd have to go for something a little better than a Rover 45... ...maybe a Ford Focus! :D Is getting a cheap Rover is a false economy, parts availability and all? Will I be shooting myself in the foot when things start needing replacing?

Your probably right, too little too late. On top of the engine problems the interior light and headlight alarm doesn't work on the drivers side, the rear wiper works only 75% of the time, only 1 of the measly 2 speakers work and now the drivers door won't unlock with the (one and only) key - I...

Thanks for your reply IW, The car does sound like a bag of spanners. In the morning when I engage the clutch to change gear, the revs pick up a bit as the load decreases, the sound is so bad I have to mentally block it out otherwise I have the urge to drive directly to the scrap yard! This...

Hi I need some help keeping the old girl alive. I have a 1999 ford fiesta 1.2 or 1.25 finesse with 100k+ miles. I'm not good with car maintenance so I'm afraid she's been neglected a bit and running quite badly with an oil leak and the engine sounds terrible - probably from the lack of oil...

Thanks again Rocks but that's not it. It drains, refills and hums. It stops after that. By the way it's an AS150 not A150 as first stated.

Thanks for the reply Rocks but I only have 4 lights. 1 & 2 are flashing.

Hi All, Does anyone have any information on the following: I have an Ariston A150 dishwasher which has gone kaput. It started with the power, salt and rinse aid lights operating as normal but no actual operation, there was some water inside. I left it for a couple of days and tried again...

Here is a link to the post that cured my problem. It was a different problem to yours but there is a wiring diagram attached and it explains the valve operations. Basically the valve at rest is at W. If only HW calls there is no change as it already is at W. If HW & CH calls the valve...

Simon, As the problem resolves itself when you power cycle the programmer it would suggest the problem may lie there (I don't know much about plumbing so don't take my word for it) but it would be cheaper and easier to replace the programmer. Just switch off at the mains as you have been...

Try this

How about one of these? You can also get an adjustable spanner with a tightening lever (like a monkey wrench)

Thanks Nige, I don't really mind paying for something, I just really :x HATE :x paying too much, lining someone elses pocket with my hard earned cash. As nobody's replied in astonishment at the price, I guess it's reasonable. Thanks again guys.

Cheers Guys, The 7800GTX is a bit pricey for me. Maybe a 6800 with Abit N18 (SLI 775 1066FSB DDR2 SATA Raid5 PCI-E)!!! Bring it ON! :twisted:

How about these with a large washer with these

Whenever I (as an amateur) screw into plasterboard I always use these

You can get live traps, which traps them in a small cage, then you can either let them go in your local woods or your enemies garden! :twisted:

Thanks Eddie, I've agreed the price already (I would have cancelled if it was too much), I've tried to get other quotes, one said £500 for roof bits only but he said he would just cover facias (no thank you), one said £600 but when I asked how he would get round the conservatory he said he...
