  11. what i would do mate is get it done and MOT it, inform the dvla of the engine change and colour change and see what happens at the end of the day you can buy the sva manual and try to get your car through it but it will be very difficult if not near impossible with a car designed 50/60 years ago james

  20. bring on the BNP my old faithful pajero stays at £185 pa with a 2.8 TD that struggles to do 25mpg yet the mrs has a 2.2 vectra that easily does 35-40mpg but thats gonna be around the £400 mark i shall keep ruining the planet with my dirty derv then
  21. i feel for those out of work due to the recession, seen many builders, joiners and the likes out of work now due to the downturn in the housing market meaning less and less new builds are going up i must say though im not feeling any of the credit crunch as yet, yes i have credit but its all payable, the shitter for me is im sat in a house thats possibly in negative equity, but the downturn will turn around and this recession will pick up we just have to wait it out i suppose im lucky people dont stop crashing cars so my job looks safe, whats going to really get me annoyed is by the end of the year paying £2 for a litre of diesel just to get to work james
  22. i followed a mate taking a car to weigh in today and took 2 vectra cats with me walked away with £160 for 2 cats bang on me thinks james
  23. this really does make my blood boil, an absolute outrage our children are being tought crap like this and being made to participate is downright disrespectful this is a C of E country and that should be the only religion tought in our schools. i remeber being in year 7 at school and telling my RE teachers their class was bullsh!t, pointless and a waste of time. lets be fair all immigrants whatever their religion come here for whatever reasons, but they should not be allowed to live here and dictate to us what we can do and how we teach our own, you dont like it then fook off home we dont want you here ill tell you one thing im voting BNP next time, i know what happened the last time an extreamist was voted into power in europe that time it was the jews that were persecuted, il wait and see what happens this time james
  24. i tow with a LWB pajero and heavy duty car transporter, i recently took a calibra turbo to the scrappers loaded with scrap and weighed in with driver and passenger at 4100 kilos. so its easy to get a towcar/trailer/car combo under 3.5tons but remember always pick a tow vehicle bigger than you actually need. my truck tows a car very well but i would not trust anything smaller, it may be legal but its not worth the risk james
