Just spoken to Mike at UK Sports eyewear and he's extended an old 20% discount code to the end of this month (Sept). So if anyone was thinking of buying..... Code is skcc2014. (no link just a satisfied customer) Malcolm

Although I haven't done it on mine so this isn't a criticism (I've just got the pump wired directly on a ignition circuit), I'm told that the best way is to wire through a pressure switch so that should there be an accident and the engine stalls fuel flow will stop to minimise the risk of fire. (oh and happy birthday Mowerman....)

and as I don't have an email address, I've sent you a pm.....

It's an inspiration for me to get out in the garage and sort out all those things that I intend to do someday..... Thanks for posting the link. Malcolm

I was worried about the same question a couple of years ago when I had to replace tyres on 'tubed' type rims. My local tyre dealer's opinion was that it depended upon the brand of tubeless tyre as some are more ribbed on the inside than others. In the end we chose Firestone because although they were not perfectly smooth, they were better than some of the others. Two years use and no problems yet. (I also made sure that the tubes were a decent brand, think that they were michelin....) I'm certainly not an expert and tyres aren't an area to take risks with, but I trust my local dealer and accepted his advice. Malcolm

Thought you meant this... http://www.itv.com/n...new-their-vows/ Sorry! Malcolm

Love to watch it but click play and get "This video is private" Have I got a setting wrong?

Hasn't got a brake servo has he? If the white smoke that you saw was smoke and not steam could be a leaking servo with brake fluid being drawn into the engine. Had it on an MG, didn't notice any brake inefficiency, but the fluid went down.

No one seems to mention the exhaust exit, are they on opposite sides from one another on the Zetec and Duratec? Is the Duratec opposite from Pinto but Zetec the same? (or are they both opposite?). That would be a big part of my decision if I were to swop from the Pinto. thanks Malcolm

When I sold a car last year I took a cheque and agreed that the car could be collected one week later to allow for clearance of the cheque. Put the cheque through on express clearance.... bad idea because his bank claimed not to have received the cheque, despite my bank saying that someone had signed for it! Ordinary clearance isn't much better either, they can still come back unpaid after more than 3 days because the banks still rely on royal mail to send back an unpaid cheque. In the end he brought cash but I was sweating until I had banked it. So when I went to buy a car last month, I went on a weekday, arranged with the local branch of my bank for withdrawal of the cash, took the seller with me when I withdrew the cash and went staight to his bank to pay it in. Then I drove the car home! So apart from saying cash to the bank (or bank transfer), take care! Malcolm

I've used Morris's oils for some time now, I buy from a local wholesaler in either 25l drums or 4*5l packs. Don't know of suppliers in your area, but another reason that I like them is that they are very helpful on the phone, so it may be worth ringing them. By the way I also find a 25L drum difficult to use without a pump! Malcolm

Hello Helen, try this site http://marksaccjokes.blogspot.com/ Everyone else take care, I'm an accountant and easily offended!........... Remember it's solicitors who are like Rhinos because they're thick skinned and charge a lot, (not accountants) Malcolm

I thought that this post was a wind up. Afterall arn't most of us people who have taken an old Sierra and spent hours of time and lots of pounds to make a lotus 7 lookalike!
