On a lot of more modern cars the exterior lock is only on the passengr side as for LHD that is the driver's side! W's Citroen is just the same, as is the bonnet lock which can only be actione by opening the passenger side door. :rolleyes:

The range changes all the time according to how you have been driving recently. Yessdi I went on a 3 hours drive in the wife's car, the range changed from 220 kms to 310 as I was driving most of the time in 5th gear. Previously it had only been doing shortish shopping type trips.

Only true test of consumption is a brim to brim test using the mileometer or tripmeter. Computers can get things wrong you know! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Quite, as I mentioned him without taggin him further upthread he may read the whole thing and get interested!! I am now very interested in this Zenon, or Xenon or HID thing so will search for pics to see what the flip they look like!

My stake for today is defrorsting as we speak. Don't fink W will be eating much today. :(:( Still we had two nice lunches out two days running.

So naffin hot here I have decided to keep all doors and windows shut until it cools down. W is in bed as her stomach problem is playing her up today. Nothing to do with the meal as far as we can see, more to do with the far distant remnant they have left attached to her for use at a later date...

Always worth a look again, the damage could have been done after you swapped it, or to one of the others. The bloke who welded mine up and had to take the tank out, obvs, managed somehow to damage the tank cos when I got it back there was white numbers painted in where the fuel pump sits, and...

By "bumping" do you mean a start caused by pushing or towing it? Which is what most people mean by that, or do you mean a "jump start" i.e. leads from another battery, preferably connected to a car that is running? I think I am right in saying that that rpm under cranking will not start it. So...

Good, we can all rest easy, until the next time!;)

Reminds me of the bloke who bought a big engined bike despite being rather skint. He was showing it off to his mates when one of thm asked him "How many does it do to the gallon?" He said, "Dunno, never had a full gallon in it." 🤣 🤣 Having checked out the Norman Stanley Fletchers I see they...

I'm beginning to wonder, as it started after you had the chassis work done, whether one or more of the fuel pipes has developed a tiny crack or something. There is a known place where one or more rub on chassis rails, outa sight.

You've been there a long time. We only come over here 6 months a year and that is April to October. But when we used to come over in the winter the village was closed to traffic twice. So that is since 2004. We rely on neighbours to send us pics if we get snow. We also go the Dales a lot in...

And you! Best of luck in your search!

I have them, or similar, on one of my Disco 1s they are OK, my Disco 2 has Goodyear All terrains, I think. But I thought you had to drive around on studded or winter tyres where you live?

You are dead right, which is why it is a job best done in a warm dry spell, although you can speed things up by using hairdryers, hot air guns,infra-red heaters if you have a garage, which I don't, well not tall enough to take a Disco!

Just one last question as I really must lock up the chicken coop and get to bed, what tyres do you run on in the winter?

Wow!! closest to that I have known is a house I lived in in Bath, where ground floor at the front was the first floor at the back and the garden was so steep, if it rained you slid down it. So pretty cool at night then!

People on here are always on about what is the best paint, and of course over here in Frogland it isn't easy to get the same thing. Message a guy called Datatek he may be able to help as he lives near Poitiers and is a mine of info about this sort of stuff. You'll read his stuff on P38s on the...

Is it hot where you are? We are at 600 metres above sea level and it is currently 27 outside the house and 26 inside, on the ground floor, but we drove to the canal du Midi today in 39 degs. Phew!

Well wouldn't you just know it! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
