Re: Advice on funny running

Re: Hammerite products

Some of the websites I've visited for research published the discontinuation news as far back as 2019. Yet, the official website is still up and running 4 years later. It looks like they found a way to be environmentally compliant. Call me cynical if you like, but could this have been a publicity st...

If you have a tank already on the car, be sure to drain as much fuel out as humanly possible before removing it, as it's amazing how heavy these things can be when they are balanced on your chest!

Re: 2.8i tank wanted

An extra £50 is worth it to keep them around The difference is only £5 for club members, plus whatever postage is. Definitely a price worth paying. I like dealing with Martin as he will give an all inclusive price, you never know how much the club postage will be until you get the the checkout stag...

Re: 2.8i tank wanted

Personally, I would advocate going through CapriGear, CCI, Tickover etc wherever possible as you get the backup of a known person of good standing who will see you right if there's a problem, or the part doesn't fit, etc, rather than someone off ebay with an unknown background! I agree with that, w...

Re: 1986 Laser on ebay

It looks like a nice car, although I'm surprised that the previous owners have kept the original invoice, but not all of the paperwork that would support the claims of a reasonably low mileage.

Hi Paul,
I haven't watched much of the recent stuff, although after seeing him this morning, I did catch up with the road trip videos featuring this very car.
