Whats a rear anti roll bar



Should have saved your money and taken it off, you want more roll, not less. Its not a sports car

kind of agree. but free bushes so rude not to.

it gets a lot of road use so figured i'd keep it on - fairly easy to take off when i spend a day playing...

He means tyres and footwear. :lol:

Finally got the 90 back on the road and also adjusted stop locks to stop the new boots rubbing on radius arms, just need to get the bloody heater working now as I'm getting hot air just no flow, think either the bower or the switch is knackered, if it's the switch on the dash I'm thinking of getting a pwm switch and running a live from the fuse to that then to the blower, should give me good rotary control of the blower speed, but that's a job for tomorrow I now need a beer, hope you all had fun yesterday sorry I could not make it,
Mikey glad to hear you got ya motor sorted with little fuss.

Rest of the poly bush kit turned up today.... bloody plonkers forgot to send the metal plates

Something else to be getting on with I suppose

Good fun last night, nice to see a few new faces.

Matt, I never gave you the fixing plates for the wall units. I've still got them if you need them.

I thought about them when I got on the A14 :doh:

Bring them when we next meet. I may end up putting some ply over the backs and just drilling and screwing them up..... not sure yet - other things to do first.

My fault rushing about without enough thought :doh:
I'll put them in the car as I'm in Ipswich this morning, but with a colleague.
If I get an op I'll drop them in if not I'll make time next week.

Got a business lunch in a little while for all my clients this year so thought'd I'd do some catering (qualified pastry chef ) Up since 5....... 25x trays of 15 sausage rolls.......



If I have to make anymore pastry this year, it'll be too soon!

Oh and I ordered some lovely Pinot Noir off the net last week, just found the receipt for it...... £35 a bloody bottle!!

I left my fuel cap on the wheel when I filled up yesterday. Pick it up later that day. Don't know why I wasted time & money getting to the station, cos it was f**ked.:doh:
Anybody want a second hand fuel cap.

I left mine on the roof once after filling up with biodiesel.......... :doh: I did find it though and it was still in the correct shape

Probably best as you wouldn't have had many left

It will work the same on ipad as any other laptop/pda/pc. If you hav'nt bought the license it will not work,unless you get an hooky copy for nothing, but for £25 you get to download 25000 sq kilometres and the license.

Sorry, I know this was posted over a month ago, but I'm testing mm on the iPad. It's £83.66 to activate 3500 sq km which in miles is less than an area 40 x 40 miles (apx the size of Essex).

This is at OS 1:25k Explorer GB map. What is everyone else using 1:50k?
