Drop arm ball joint replaced, bit of a ball ache (get it 🫣), but got there in the end! The atb diff helped mask the problem a little, but it got to the point where it was getting silly! Back to cornering on rails!

Well i picked up the new slave cylinder on Thursday on the way to work. Decided to fit it yesterday. It went in alright and the number of threads in the hose hole must be the same as it tightened up with the cylinder being perfectly lined up with...

Still working through my (getting shorter) list of family and mates who want a ride in the 101. My nephew called in this morning. I was pre-warned so was checking the tyre pressures on it and the BM. The back two go down a few psi over a couple...

I bet THAT was a party you won't forget any day soon!

Without a doubt. And when they've taxed everyone off the road, they'll put the tax on shoes

I don't see why you can't simply make the brackets to fit the mattock head yourself, or have them made. If you have a vice it shouldn't be too hard to bend one using aluminium sheet. Get some cardboard(corn flake box or something similar) and...

When i built my kitcar i used enough of the donor car to qualify to use that reg number but before i could register it i had to get it inspected with a 'super MOT' at a DVLA test station. I had to insure it using the chassis number. Once it...

Valves or rings? Pour oil down the bores and re do the compression test

If it's a turbo charged engine then it probably won't be too bad. If no turbo then just wait for the blue lights flashing behind you...

Well if you think about it, which one would be easier to grab? The legal one parked at the address DVLA have, or the stolen one?

Nah, that magazine folded a year or so ago, but i hear they have a Youtube channel now. Not sure they be interested in this though.

Id slash the tryes oh wait what size are they..

"Could be arsed to go and see it" you mean? 🤣

Oh i've had those sort of notes before, but from a local scrapyard. At least they used their own business cards...

If you were in Japan and not Netherlands i'd suspect those marks meant some of the erm, iffy Japanese videos i've watched were based on real living things 😁

Maybe if you'd asked me twenty or so years ago when they lived there, but not now, other than saying if they could claim it, they did!

I think there are many people who will only be happy when Chump is in rigueur mortice! (that's either stiff as a board or behind a locked cell door)

Oh they were quite proud of the fact that they didn't work and claimed for everything!

Yes, but have you never gone onto a forum looking for an answer to a question and seen person A say one thing and person B say the complete opposite and then person C claim they are BOTH wrong then person D agree with C except that C is wrong as...

I tend to fill things up with what the manufacturer states should go in it. I figure they should know better than some bloke 'down the pub/end of our street/local garage/internet experts' etc

There are I suspect a lot more fake disability claimants than there are politicians or millionaires, so maybe all those small amounts add up to a very large amount.

I'm afraid that the £2 billion figure is likely to be an underestimation the fraudsters hit me in the pocket in the form of taxes to pay for their idleness as do the others so I would be after all of them.

But it isn't just £118 a week is it. That's just the start, something to get your foot through the door of claiming for everything else... Those neighbours of mine claimed for everything!

Oh i get angry at many sorts of people. Sometimes it's the only thing that gets me up in the morning! Personally, i don't know ANYONE who was genuinely mis-sold PPI, but many who made a claim. I got fed up with letters asking me to forward my...
