Re: drugs
So AI without the I, just what we have all been waiting for!! Amazon are using AI to give bloody awful `synopses` of customer`s feedback. This is the future? You`d think it would at least check the spelling though :D Customers like the quality, value, performance, and weight of the drill. For examp...

Re: NGK Spark plugs
That's what I like about old cars.. off the road for 4 months, £9 quids worth of plugs, £20 of fuel and she started up after 30 seconds of cranking.

Re: Jobs on a car that were easier than expected and jobs that were harder than expected
As for jobs that were easier than expected, that was my dad's Yaris, the aircon condenser was knackered, so changed that and the radiator as that looked like it was about to go too. Lovely easy job, no nasty surprises, very simple and modular for a modern car, nothing to get in the way that couldn't...

Re: Jobs on a car that were easier than expected and jobs that were harder than expected
A mate or mine had a Renault Clio van. He suffered complete brake failure when the rod connecting the pedal to the master cylinder just snapped. Never seen anything like it. Well, we ordered a master cylinder after a major major headache finding one, it fitted in the bulkhead, great, but, oh dear, i...

Re: First drive in an MG
The most egregious thing to me about modern vehicles is that they are so difficult to fix by the owner. Well, that and the arsenals of sensors and cameras helping accustom us to this Orwellian nightmare of indiscriminate surveillance we're walking into. yeah but ........the young ones seem to have ...

Glyn swapped an engine in a Capri in a field at one of the first meets I went to, CoCC. Think he had it done in an afternoon, even had a few beers during the task

I would love a Mk1, but well and truly missed the boat regarding skyrocketing prices.

Re: First drive in an MG
My theory is that everybody likes the commanding driving position, being so high up. That's all an SUV offers that an estate or hatch can't. Andrew. That would make for a funny comedy sketch, the next generation of SUVs being slightly higher and therefore more commanding to see over the older SUVs,...

Re: First drive in an MG
I was curious though to see if I could get why everyone wants an SUV. Others will of course be different to this but generally I'm bemused. I think that in the main, it's the fad aspect of it and the keeping up with the Joneses. Neighbour comes home in a big shiny status symbol and it spreads. :agr...

MK1 on ebay

Has this had a sunroof covered over? It's rusting in a really weird way on the roof, I've never seen one go like that before.
