Here are a few of my holiday pictures for anyone who may be interested. A cracking little cafe right next door to where we stayed in Keswick called The Filling Station always had interesting stuff parked outside and lots of yummy bikers. We managed to find a V8 Marlin who was also on holiday. Heading out to the Honister Pass, video going on YouTube soon. That's all folks, hope you enjoy.

Good to meet you Quinten, nice motor! I'll be back in my car.............................................................................next year!

Pah, bunch of part-time Westfield drivers... Thanks for making me feel welcome (and hungry again!)

Another mighty Xflow lives to fight another day.... Good luck with the rewire

Bad luck. Taking off the top of the transmission tunnel will give you good access, as will removing the boot box. Probably be able to do 90% of the rewiring this way. I usually just lift either the front, or back end of the car on axle stands, but that's mostly 'cause I only have two . Four stands would be fine. Your car may have a mechanical fuel pump on the engine. The only way I can see it getting home with no electrics at all to the back. Remarkable! Jen

Steve's wind deflectors are a little heavy ... You may have a chance ! NOT !

Oooh... Yes it was definitely the deflectors that caused it so... Recovery fees Air ambulance Counselling Consequential loss of reputation I think you owe me £48,367.95 PayPal will be fine..!

They will simply argue that the MOT was carried out as per schedule and the car passed on all points . the MOT is not a service inspection , they don't have to check every service item for wear and condition , only the ones listed on the test agenda . having said that , my mondeo failed because the discs were worn as did my daughters scenic ! strange the tester didnt notice the disks worn on yours , possibly the apprentice did the test and not a pukka mechanic.

Change of underwear , clean the seat and climb back in !!!!! Not surprised you sat there once stopped !!! P.S. Like the helmet sticker

It's no good asking people who have them, when you've spent £15'000 on something you don't turn around and say "actually everyone was right, they're not saving me anything at all". They have a placebo effect, you kinda just assume they're saving money because that's what the salesman told you. But I think even at current rates, 15000 in the bank is going to collect more interest than it'd save attached to your roof. They're also becoming a bit like conservatories, once one person gets one, the whole street has to keep up. Even in mid summer, with full light on them, they're not enough to run a high power appliance. What you are in fact doing is paying to have your house used as a solar generation point. You don't have batteries, so your not storing what you generate. If someone came to you and said "we want to stick a wind turbine in your garden", you'd say "hey, f**k off, not unless your paying me.......", equally if they wanted to turn the neighbouring field into a solar farm, everyone would be up in arms. But with some clever marketing they get almost exactly that, only you pay them for it. Solar water heating on the other hand (much more efficient that converting light into electrical power), that could be a massive money saver and really quite easy to DIY the panels with the raw materials. I've actually done some initial experiments and managed to heat half a litre of water to near 170c in just short of 1 hour. Whilst my solar power experiments have been nothing but a disappointment. I'm all for being "green", but lets do that by making stuff last longer, instead of ramping up production of consumer goods and making them last less than half as long as they should. Just my 2p worth
