Gun it or gunning it!

DanB

That is a beautiful car.
How on earth does it only have that low mileage!
As said, get the wax out!!

DanB

So gutted for you! That stinks, I'd be fuming! Pikey's really make me mad, they do whatever the hell they want and nothing happens to them! Arggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh If you ever get a whisper of who it was I'd be sooooooo tempted to blow up the truck/van/caravan! Bstads!!! you are taking it better than ...

DanB

Yeah, lol I noticed that. Great mph it got!!

I think there was a site that had galactic mileage on some hondas and volvos.

Mad mileage.

Probably been posted before, please feel free to remove if so.

Haven't seen anything like that since rotten.com
Very nasty.
You know these emergency people must have steel stomachs.

DanB

Thing is Humans are omniverous and can eat anything. We have the digestive sytem to break down meat and we have the teeth to eat meat. If we kill animals for food so be it. Have you seen how a bear grabs a salmon from a stream and starts to tuck into it whilst it's alive? It doesn't care to kill it ...

DanB

Why oh why does this keep being said.
It's on the news and it's wrong.
It's a new company that is being set up by Rover and SAIC.
Rover is still owned by PVH and Longbridge is still owned by PVH.

Have a look on the MGX forums.
Looks nice.
I hope Jerry doesn't mind the link..

Cool, cheers guys.
I'll see if I can find a smashed up ZR160!! Shouldn't be too hard to find lol

DanB

I was thinking of replacement engine but surely that would cost a fair bit to change over.
I'm not savvy enough to change over a complete engine tbh.

DanB

Ok quick question guys, I've seen a nice quality 25 Gti, everything looks nice but I think it's got HGF. Also noisy engine, sounds like tappets, maybe piston slap. The car's Â£4k with 67k on the clock. Now I was thinking of getting a bit extra on the loan and getting the engine sorted out. Any ideas...

DanB

Thing is if anyone actually spoke to the "minorities" they couldn't give a to55 about Santa's grotto. It's going to be down to some d1ckcheese in his council office thinking it might offend some poor people, oh bunnykins you poor souls. F off. No one is offended. So get a life you sad government job...

DanB

Sometimes the bearings get a bit noisy.
Usually you just end up with a puddle.

When you put it back what did the condition of the blades look like? much play in the bearing? Did you say you replaced the seal for it?
If the seal and bearing is ok then no reason it should fail.

DanB

Yep as said they are all photoshopped except the bull which was actually film footgage and it was simply the bull fell over and knocked the camera over.
Looks good though.

DanB

Looks great.
Is your car on a big downhill slope? as your coolant level looks way too high.
Just a thought.

DanB

Well I've been away for a couple of days and missed all the fireworks about the legal advice thread. Well I can see why it was locked. The only thing I'd like to say is..... It wasn't possible for me to get out of it by saying there was no car reg on the slip. I took the slip and signed it so it's n...

DanB

m Section 108. Cheers Mark, It's all done now, I went to the police station today and handed over my license for the points. The only thing I hate is the way that the police talk down to you. Well they did to me anyway, make you feel like you were back at school and getting a telling off! I won't be...

DanB

I have to say that you're very mature and responsible for your deicsion DanB. At the end of the day, you did do wrong and you don't need me to tell you that double whites are there for a reason. If it makes you feel better, it shouldn't affect your insurance at all by having 3 points - just make su...

DanB

I did feel bitter initially and thought why didn't they pull over the learner as I wouldn't have done it in the first place.. BUT... that's no excuse as I didn't have to overtake where I did and it is massively frustrating to be stuck behind a learner but I can't really complain when I get pulled ov...

DanB

I'm going to take the hit. I don't want to go to court and drag it all out and get the 2 coppers into court and then they give evidence. It's not what I wanted on a reasonable Saturday but it could have been worse. I should have waited and then overtaken when there were no white lines. It's a learni...

DanB

Cheers Steve, I'll drop him a PM.
Thanks

DanB

Any legal boffs out there can I pick your brains. Here's the situation, Overtaking a learner driver doing 15mph on a single carriageway road 60mph limit. I overtook the learner when safe to do so but unfortunately went over the double white lines in the middle of the road. So out comes white astra f...

DanB

Chavscum! Soo many people like that now. I had some cobbler go flying down the wrong side of the road so he could cut back infront of me becuase I pulled infront of him at a roundabout. Er hello he wasn't on the roundabout. He had his wife and kid in the car too. Some people suffer so much from road...

DanB

Pics are good but get some with a tape measure in there. Give it some scale. Or put something in the hole that people can sense scale like a can of coke or similar. If you can show the depth etc then yes the council or the contractors that did the work are negligent and you have a claim. However the...

DanB

Well, took one for a test drive today. It was an ex-demonstrator with 4k miles on the clock in black. Have to say that I was very impressed but am not completely won over. The interior is very nice, everything is laid out nicely and I love the seats. Also, I can sit upright without my head touching...

DanB

Sunning Ctunt.
Not quite eh? lol

DanB

Weird, I was looking at one the other day in red. Fantastic car, white and black interior with leather. Also had one bombing up the M1 the other morning. Some people still think naff but pretty much everyone I talk to now about cars think they are very good. Also my Dad's just bought one!! Tdi thoug...

DanB

What can I say...
Big fan of your work!!
Good skills!

DanB

I think it's very bad to allow this to happen.
A colleague I work with is always going on about VW's.
I have ignored him for years but one thing he has a point on.
Parts.. He has a VW camper van, it's awful but he can still get parts for it and it's over 30 years old.
That I applaud.

DanB

just thinking of the service book stamp thing...how much would a stamp be to buy? i do all my own servicing and quite a few other peoples and i think i do it to a very high standard. change oil, filter, air filter, plugs, leads, pollen filter, check levels etc. grease hinges, check and clean/dust o...

DanB

That's why I service my own car.
I don't trust anyone to look after it.

DanB

IIRC Yes you have to pay the excess, not sure but I think your company should claim it back from his.

DanB

Love the expression on the pigs face at the end!! classic

DanB

I was just going to say the same thing.
Get another car and block him in, park literally an inch from front and back bumpers then go out for the day.
