Drilled and grooved are not the same as vented....

There are now a frames and wiring that plugs into the car abs system and applies the brakes electronically. So the motorhome tow towing a little car can be legal.

Just sold the wife's puma... Speedo was reading 92500 for the second time! That passed with a couple of advisories as well! My mot man doesn't do me an invoice I just pay £50 cash always a free retest if it needs it.

Cheers Hippo, are you going up the ladder or am I? Not surprised at the fairy arguments - its standard tratter behaviour. We will also need some bacon to stick round the turkey, some gammon and also to make pigs in blankets. I was wondering if any one was volunteering their pig for the...

When it comes to braked or unbraked trailers it is the gross weight that counts so even a tiny car that weighs 700kg had a gross weight of at least 900 so is still illegal on a unbraked a frame unless being recovered. Autos should never be flat towed. You can front lift a hippo only with...

I have read that before, but I belive that they are incorrect, I can't find the info I found before, but basically put and as verified by a traffic plod who got his info book out, You cannot exceed any plated weight... So the tow vehicle must not be over weight on any axle or over its mgm the...

That's is what I was led to belive until recently... I double and triple and quadruple checked and that isn't the case. Also asked a traffic copper about it. As long as none of the plated maximums are exceeded you are legal. Have you ever tried finding a trailer with a mgw of 2000kg?

Legal for recovery use only. Weight wise hippo on hippo is fine. Some vehicles won't tow on a frame due to the suspension design but I think the freelander will as it is a simple suspension design unlike the bmw and rover 600s that cause problems. Best solution is a trailer as long as the...

I haven't even seen mine for days....... I will get it back after I have MOTed a seat ibiza. There is something wrong with my world!

Latest FB post....... Hi all dos anyone know if it an easy job to change clutch on 03 td4 cheers

No problem to run an engine for a minute or so with no coolant in it. So just cranking it for a compression test will be fine.

The cheap window regulator kits have too soft a spring. This helps in assembly but when you try to open the door the motor compresses the spring instead of pulling the window down. I will only use the kits from the windowregshop on eBay now. I have used several different suppliers and found...

No..... He unfriended me, I was most upset.
