That's so true Nick, absolutely bob on. The thing is, no matter how much they sting us for, we just put up with it. They know people won't ditch cars.

I didn't realise you could do that with a dynamo?! You must have been travelling at some speed.

Hehe of course Such a terrific idea I always thought, free lights, no messing around or buying batteries, at a time before LED obviously.

There must be a lot of people who don't know what this is.

I had issues with mine whereas the car would randomly cut out. I would have to disconnect it and reconnect for it to restart. Put the original back on and all ok. Used to be someone on here called Jim, he had issues with them too, as do others as I've discovered. And now you too!

Goodness me is that how much it is. They must be raking it in.

It was! Good to know Paul thanks - is there a decent one you'd recommend? I have a Lucas at the moment but the negative connection is rubbish for the condenser I can't really recommend one, but I had loads of issues with a brand new Intermotor one, and as I researched it I discovered that others ha...

When i can register her historic later this year I'm sure i will not have to pay ULEZ as will be exempt but this will probably change.!! Thanks for your reply Nick, fair enough :) As regards to the above though, I really wouldn't be too sure of that, I have heard rumblings that it may change, as yo...

Bleedin Hell chaps you're taking as though you actually live under Khans spell. Spare a thought for me. :wave: :lol: Trouble is Nick, it's spreading. There are ULEZ notices all around where I live, including just a few yards away, drive a few yards from your home and pay for the privilege. Recently...

Dumpy's Rusty Nuts, that's a blast from the past, brill. And great story there Andy.

Completely agree Andy, very fulfilling and enjoyable experience. For me, that continued with CD's (and still does), you'd often get a booklet too, just as good as an album sleeve/liner.

Non physical format music may be convenient, but that's another word for dull.

Up The Irons

I'm scared to death every time that guy opens his mouth.

I have Killers and The Trooper tattoo, both old now and showing their age a little. Saw them in Birmingham 2011 supported by Airbourne :cool: We left early as the Mrs was feeling a bit queer :( Oh, I have 3 Motorhead tattoos too :) Terrific! I was going to say I bet you have a Trooper one. I saw th...

I can't say that I have, no. It's a nice place though that is, large and swish.

I like his brother David's work better.

Bobby Dazzler. He walked in to where I used to work once, asking for directions.

It's a yes from me. It's brewed in my home town, Dickinson has been to the brewery to oversee it, etc. They do tours and sell Maiden goodies.

For now I've decided to ignore it completely :lol: Fair enough, a technique I often use :xd: Sounds like a plan, good luck with it Danny. Just one thing, if the coil happened to be an Intermotor one, then they are known to be problematic. It was! Good to know Paul thanks - is there a decent one you...

You have Maiden tats Andy?! Gotta offer a pic if so!

Loved them for years, seen them several times, every album etc.

I was about to book it in but Phil at Capri Care has thrown me - he has said that he has never hardened any valve seats on any car he runs and never had an issue so doesn't think it is a necessary job to do and more often than not reckons that worn camshaft is more likely culprit for valves constan...
