A plan

Cheap to run and insure, robin wasn't expensive to buy. A built one holds it's value. I wanted to build one, but knew I would never finish it so brought a built one. What pushed me over the edge was the one I brought was unloved, it was built but never driven. I look for looks, practicality and price ( the order of the last 2 can be swapped!) also the attitude of the owner groups and the manufacturer.... Not a fan of arrogance.

They restart if cabin temp drops too much from desired climate control. Voltage drop too causes a start (lights on etc). Why oh why am I defending them still....cause they look pruity!!!

Which kit did you go for? Friend and I are looking into getting one! How did you choose that kit? ta ed

My last car was an Alfa Giulietta....I know your pain. Stop start hardly ever worked properly, car would refuse to lock, radio would stop working, power steering, and just before I got ready of it, it started dropping a cylinder. They live up to their reps!! Re: Diesel filter. They can't check inside the can............so an easy dodge!

Directors/chairmen aren't on great salaries. Actually that is part of the problem, along with hr and Union problems. Good managers, directors go and work elsewhere after spending time in the nhs, the crap ones tend to surf til retirement, again linked to hr and low paid directors / chairs. There are some very good ones floating around though.

Hi, email would be good.....edwin_bond@hotmail.com thanks Is it ok for me to upload here for others too? Ed

Tell him to use his other hand....

Drive over them?

Found this on kitspares, is it th same thing? http://www.kitspares.co.uk/shop/item.php?product=8943 Anyone got a photo of one fitted? Ed

I'm using a 2013 Mac mini with 16gb ram to edit hd video (multi angle wedding video). The biggest limitation is storage really. Ideally need the extra hd, so check out the Mac mini server.....or fit the caddy yourself.

Just a bit!

I brought one of these to wind up my nuts on my zimmers http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Hand%20Tools/Plumbers%20Tools/Superwide%20Jaws%20Adjustable%20Wrench/d10/sd210/p13892 Gave me about 2cm more clearance

Finally made myself a Surrey....kept me dry when moving, though in the car park my "friend" lifted the roof up to move the pools of water.....which was dumped in my lap......special feeling!!

Or just run new cable, other brake light should be easy to get to, little trickier to run new indicator cable......took me several hours to actual re run cable.....days chasing the fault with my indicator problems. I suspect my problem was with the instrument pod and water ingress.

Woooo passed my first mot (first one in 6 years). Hazard and indicator problems all sorted! That's all Happy ed.

45seconds.....go grandad

I only had 1.....once the lock becomes loose it gets a little easier.....getting them to move was frustrating but doable!

If the are original shocks, i used this: http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Hand%20Tools/Plumbers%20Tools/Superwide%20Jaws%20Adjustable%20Wrench/d10/sd210/p13892 £20

Piston heads?

I'm a happy camper, just won £500 for using a new website......not sure if this post should be in the adverts bit, so apologies mods, but i have no link to the site, just very happy and wanted to share the news so someone else has a chance of winning!! All I had to do was set up a profile and advertise some journeys I was doing. The site is http://www.blablacar.com/ and the idea is you get paid to share your car with someone else. My win is on the facebook site: https://www.facebook.com/blablacar.com?brand_redir=1 Not offered any trips in the hood yet.... 4 more chances to win! Ed

Anything in the MOT guide to say you can't have indicators on perm live rather than ignition switched?

(Ps buying parts separately is cheaper !)

Diodes aren't always necessary. I am just re doing mine, and going for the switch and wiring diagram here: http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/pub/files/Resources/PDF/1353487361_ISSUE%2022.pdf #HAZKIT Ed
