W got feed up washing my T shirts now it's mandatory that I wear a bib or no bacon and runny egg with hP sauce 😊😊

In Newcastle it's a stottie cake. Best eaten with ham n peace pudding.

Like police scotland

Wix scotland

Honestly I don’t think it’s done anything to the chassis heat wise as all copper cables are intact, even the abs sensor cable at the site of the fire start, the aluminium rear quarters are melted but that’s only 650c, if copper cables are all...

To m ove it, get a secondhand spare tyre.

anything to do with wiring ECM BCM etc is going to be a right pain. As for the chassis, there must be ways of testing it to see if it has been seriously damaged. Testing it for twist resistance is just one thing see this...

As we don't know what you think are the obvious two.....

With all the disscusion of the name of a bread roll/bun, who really cares :p Did it come with an egg? if not why not? and what sauce? are the important questions. Oh did it drip on your shirt:p. J

Before trainers were invented, it was a gym shoe, for those who remember them. 🤣 But that was in Avon or Zummerset, or Glowwwcestershire!!

It’s a dap for a trainer in Wiltshire

So hot at the moment got some weeding done

Hmmm. How would you tell if the chassis was still OK? Not that you'd be bothered on selling it, if you are a dyed-in-the-wool scrote. This has got me thinking. If the running gear is still OK, i.e. bushes etc, tyres, shocks it MAY be an...

Dee yee nae hev Wickes north of the border? Bet there is a Scots equivalent.

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Went to Wix this morning to collect me noo lawn sprinkler. Not had any rain for a while and ground is getting parched. Also got some noo 5mm and 6mm HSS drill bits as the ones I have been using for the last couple of decades are now scrap.

No, he's thinking about Dan's version :cool:

Yea I’ve decided I’m probably just going to remove anything on value off the body that is salvageable, get rid of the body check over the chassis backend that the fire was at and rear axle. If all seems ok then I’ll just wheel the chassis, engine...

I've had another look at the pics and agree it doesn't actually look disastrously bad. electrical bits under the dash seem to have only had smoke on them, which shouldn't hurt, much! There is a company that offers kits you can convert a Disco...

Sorry for your loss, but you're lucky it didn't spread to the house. I think buy back from the insurance, won't be much, when they see what's left. Fingers crossed, you find another one soon.

Jeepers that's bad, devastating. Nothing to say that could make you feel any better. Gutted for you.

Same here tis drizzle rain off out to get some food shopping, hopefully we come back to better weather I was planning on cooking my tomahawk steaks on the bbq. :p

Panic over my neebs gave me a phone. 🤣 🤣

Standard 1275 will go really well with the right diff, 3.4 is best all round Have fun :)

I've seen worse

Don't know if this would be any use as I think you are probably on the right needle now. And I apologise for having told you the needle for an MG Metro, altho TBH none of us knew it wasn't an MG engine...

I think we are beginning to say the same thing now. Weaken the mixture a bit, and or change the plugs. If the engine really is a standard as it seem to be, now, I'd go with weaken ing the mix a tad to begin with. OK, this is for bikes, but a...

OK, so here are the very sooty BP6ES plugs. All equally awful, no special standout cases. I shall pop some BP5ES's in (hotter plugs I think). I hope they don't do any damage, and it might burn off the carbon. :)

I've bought several write offs back from the insurers. They ask scrap value which is naff all. I then repaired them and ran them until it wasn't worth it. Scrap value on yours would be pretty well nix as they would have to pay a scrap yard to...
