Hi guys, need to make space in the house and this novelty office chair is taking up a lot of it :lol: I bought it because I thought it was cool, which it obviously is, but I don't have an office to put it in and don't even have a desk big enough to fit it under... It is a passenger side seat that ha...

Ha! Yes I..... I mean...whoever wrote that note, has the mental age of a child for sure.

I think we can all agree on that

I believe I have, yes........from here at home !

Andrew.

Think they may be a new record then!!

I wonder if we will see it at any shows If we do, the new owner won't park next to Danny, as he's got the only Capri that can upstage the GWG car on exhaust noise! :lol: Andrew. I certainly try my best!! :lol: Have we heard it since I've had my new stainless steel straight through pipes put on...??

There's nothing wrong with 10 degrees if it runs ok with no pinking. I have mine at 8 degrees which is the book setting and I find it runs well at that. Your carb may only need a couple of tweaks/parts, I don't think I'd go to the expense of a complete new one. I'd agree with Paul - a brand new car...

It sounds like Tom will be OK if he accidentally leaves one of his upright tent poles at home....

Andrew.

Surprised to hear you got rid of the Mustang! Will certainly be a change of pacing halving your cylinders :lol: HI Danny, It wasn't the plan but an oil leak on an expensive 3 year old car is not acceptable in my book, even though I was offered a fix it was alot of hassle and to be honest running th...

Welcome back to classic motoring!!

Danny, I`m sure there must have been a fault with either the battery or the panel, as there`s a diode on the output so electricity can only come out of the panel: if the diode`s OK it`s impossible for it to flatten a battery. I can only say from my experience re. the Punto, when she got a company c...

Seriously though I was given some once years back. I thought why not, who cares, ate two and my girlfriend at the time Heidi looked at me with this urgent expression "you took two?!?" Man, it was so painful, for hours, just wouldn't go down or anything... felt like the look on that guy's ...

Looking good!
Your calender/wall art looks nice as well

Or, another idea would be a solar panel mounted on the parce;l shelf? Just wire the +ive to the boot lamp bulb (constant live), -ive to earth . I know a couple of people who have `occasional use` cars and this seems to work well. My brother fitted one to this Punto years ago and even after months s...

Was thinking something similar to this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Heavy-Duty-Battery-Disconnect-Isolator-Cut-Off-Switch-12v-24v/172096775398?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC IIRC Daisy fitted one of those to hers. One day she forgot to reconnect it. The car st...

Best thing to do is open up each compartment on the battery, suck out the electrolyte with a pipette, drain it into several phials, then fill the battery up whenever you want to go for a drive. That sounds like a lot more effort.... can't I just pick the battery up and drink it all each time I fini...

If you get a killswitch/isolator with a removable key as opposed to a wheel then you have an extra security device too Danny. You can make these work with any battery type. Do you have on fitted Paul? Just curious as to how they attach to the battery or if you put it in line from the ignition? Cheers

I have used one identical to the link. Quick and easy to install, and removing the knob is much better than disconnecting the terminal every time :cool: Couldn't get it to work on my last Capri with square terminals, but I have seen others that have managed it! :goodluck: Great stuff cheers Andy - ...

Hi All! I'm about to start a new job that will mean I work from home 90% of the time rather than commuting everyday like I currently do. Because I am incredibly lazy I don't really want to disconnect/reconnect the battery everytime I get in/out of the car to save the battery as I know that leaving i...

I'm sure there is also a way to adjust the clutch as described in the Haynes manual but I can't be sure and I've never tried it myself.
Failing that I'd say change it anyway

Cheers
Danny

It's all a bit nonsensical, Britain accounts for 1% of global carbon emissions. There are 3 coal fired power stations here. China has 1,081. But that's fine Tom, China make everything for us so they get to be exempt. Also, most EV manufacturers are based in China and make all the batteries in EV fo...
