Why bother fixing a 03 Ka ? Simply because it's 60k miles 1 owner who I know well and was never used in winter because they're in the USA for 6 months. So I bought it for my D. i .Law and after a year of good use it overheated and lost water. I made a start on stripping stuff off to get @ the...

About 10+ years ago I owned a trike, all road legal etc. on a Q plate. Sold it and forgot about it. Blow me it's appeared on eBay ( still in the local area) looking a bit more sad and rusty than when I had it. Problem is there are NO DOCS. or REG. with it (n) What's really annoying is I can...

Just seeing if it's feasible to leave my sunroom roof as is and : 1 cover it with rubber sheet stuck on :2 fill the underside with celotex then cover with upvc soffit boards. Basically to save stripping it all and rebuilding with extra joists to take the weight of boarding and felt. It's 4m...
