Just found a couple of old Kevin Wood stickers from Milton. These are for inside the windows-approx 5 1/2 inch long. Have been sat in a drawer out of sunlight so assuming they will still stick? £5 posted UK for the pair-i only have these 2.

£40k for a left hooker that has nothing whatsoever to do with a Mex? Shocking...

Thanks Ray-i'd be after the standard type no need for the Gojacks.

Has anyone any experience with car wheel dollies for moving their car in tight spaces? Pros/cons are they worth it, which ones etc. cheers.

Swapped the wires-lighter still works-but don't have a charger to try now lol...

Thanks will try swapping them over.

Hi i have a 2011 KA, and recently plugged in a USB charger socket for phones into the cig socket, and it went pop followed by wisps of smoke. I just thought it was an old charger and had it's last breath. Bought a new charger and today plugged it in and again it went pop followed by wisps of smoke. I tried the lighter in the socket & that still works so it's not blowing the cars fuse (5A standard if i remember rightly) so what's going on any ideas? Could the socket be wired up back to front & still work the lighter as i replaced that recently-there were only 2 wires to socket.

Well if it doesn't work he's made a very expensive mistake lol-although it looks like he can afford to.

By 'not your car' he means he can do what he likes as it's his car. And if you've got the money & are a bit savvy then why not do what he did-escorts have been done to death to be honest-nice to see something a little bit leftfield i reckon-especially if you have a garage full of 'standard' fare motors.

Don't have a classic Ford anymore just got these lol...

Stop/start works fine.

Ok box is fitted along with a new 3 piece clutch kit & all is fine. Not yet tried the stop/start system as it's normally switched off anyway. So yes a Fiat 500 gearbox fits a KA.

KGF added their 75% profit tho lol...

Yes i am a bit wary but have been reliably informed by someone who has done this that the drivetrains are exactly the same between Ford KA and Fiat 500 of the same years. My main concern is the Ford stop/start system, and not being able to source a gearbox from a similar stop/start KA. But someone has said it's not the gearboxes that differ it's triggered from somewhere else-maybe ecu/gear selector/clutch pedal etc. but seeing as there is an on/off switch on the dash for stop/start i can just keep it switched off & it won't matter - famous last words....

Right it seems the boxes are standard and should work fine. Got a low mile Fiat box coming so we'll see lol.
