So he's rebuilt the engine with a load of upgrades and now it's developed a funny noise.. Might be a bargain, but a bit of a punt, as it might be a nightmare of amateur engine tuning ineptitude.
Round here the Audi drivers seem to have stolen the crown from the BMW drivers when it comes to non functioning indicators

It's the way they just stand there looking at you
....
which is why they weren't sold here. Instead, you could buy a mk3 Capri, mk5 Cortina - and I believe an early Sierra, but I've never seen one - with a 1300 crossflow, although virtually nobody did. ....
the 1300 Sierra was a Pinto .....Never seen one though
I do remember that from the time but Wiki confirms ithttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Sierra
1.8 is okay if cambelt goes, how do I know
Yes I use an ad blocker, but as you say sites increasingly detect it and demand that I disable it for access.Absolutely.
Running internet sites is *VERY* expensive, and somehow needs to be funded. So assuming the site isn't selling anything, that means either:
Subscription required
Ad funded
A kind benefactor/sponsor that pays for it
So for ad funded sites, using an ad blocker means stopping that income for the website owner. Therefore I believe that website owner has every right to refuse to show the content when ad blockers are being used.
I'm now at an age where mine is moving away from risk into lower returns. I guess a sensible move, as a big hit now might not have time to recover before I want to retire.
Mrs TB was stressed a few weeks ago when I borrowed a chainsaw* and I started cackling like a madman. But I had fun
She is half aware I have history of chainsaw accidents when I was a nipper.
*it was only a cordless one this time, but I was mega impressed with its performance. Impressed enough I considered buying one, but not worth it for the very limited use I have for one. It was a 12V Milwaukee one I borrowed from chrisgixer. I also borrowed some cordless DeWalt pruners which were very impressive, and was just about to buy some when Mr Bezos offered me an unbranded set on the Vine programme
To cope with my conifer trees, I have a Stihl petrol chainsaw, an extendable pole Stihl petrol chainsaw/hedge trimmer multi-tool, an electric chainsaw and electric hedge trimmer, but by far the best addition to those is my battery Stihl HLA 86 extendable pole hedge trimmer and my battery Stihl HSA 66 normal hedge trimmer that I bought around 3 years ago.
They are so good that they’ve pretty much made the other tools redundant. I would be the first to slag off battery powered tools in the past but these are awesome, and the battery lasts for ages as well.
With those mods it's definitely sellable
Yes he'd might get more with a no reserve listing on ebay. Although saying that, I did that with the Mondeo, it went to £155, the buyer didn't make contact and later cancelled via ebay.
Does anyone sell LPG anymore? All the places round here where I used to fill mine up have stopped selling it.
I'd like to own a 1960's-1990's classic British sports car..
I'd love a TR6 although French Albitz informs me they are utter shite. Perhaps a TVR Griffith 500 would be the sensible choice.
My mate has a 1974 MGB GT V8 it has been completely restored the total cost including the purchase price is around £60,000 it looks & sounds terrific, but after a ride out in it you realise how much vehicles have improved I felt quite vulnerable in it .
Yeahbut, how does the car actually know which wheel is in which location?
It looks like the MOT will be changing to do a particulate measurement to catch cars with gutted DPFs (I suspect 2026 so you have some time)Not sure how that will work...
Surely a well maintained non DPF car won't produce any more soot that a dpf equipped one.
A white van, with a thieving Eastern European couple touring around our area to see who's left their garage open or left something of any value outside, number given to police vehicle untaxed, suprise surprise.
Unless its an auto and they never get used and seize up come MOT time!!!
