i've been told this is a VERY grey area over the insurance as it is upto the officer who pulls you to decide as a car without tax & mot is not in a road worthy condition so your insurance CAN be invalid so i would make it clear to your insurance company what you are doing i got away with no insurance (many many years ago) when i bought a car & drove it home with no t&t or insurance cos i had it booked in to a mates garage for mot work & was told that you can drive a car to & from a place to have mot work done or an mot as long as its pre booked at a garage (not on the road outside your mates house ). the thing is if you get pulled on the way home from an mot & you have failed then your car should not be on the road yet they used to give you upto a month overlap on an old mot to put it right

sure oddkidd does adaptors for EFI & MFI XR's & one for the carbs to run zetecs but they are not cheap but look better than that or if you can know someone that can do ali welding you could weld thetop part of the cvh manifold to the inlet from the mondeo

as it says on your listing "advertised elsewhere" you can pull your listing anytime you want until the last 12hrs (or something like that) but the last few hours are when the bidding starts !!! i would contact the seller & give him 48hrs to sent a £100 deposit to end it for his offer or collect & pay in full in this time add this information to the bottom of the page that you may remove the item pending a deposit within the next 48 hrs but you will inform bidders if the deal has fell through & you intend to let it run to the end (or something along them lines ) dont take any notice of how many watchers you have as some of them could be off here,other sites you use or have advertised on or your sons mates i know im not the only one that has things on watch that i do not intend to bid on or buy i just like to see how much things go for these days so i have a bench mark to what to pay or sell stuff at

dont bother sending a letter as you have nothing to explain as there is a bit on the form that says i was not given the logbook by the last owner so just tick that & send it off with the details you have reg number & chassis number & you will get it back with all the other details thats all i do when i get a car with no logbooks

might sound daft but try towing it or bump starting it as i had the same problem with a mk3 escort 1.1 changed most bits & it just turned over & wouldnt start & was told to try that & it worked with it being a mini stock dont the have to have a cut out/imobilser ??? could it be that ?
-
ive got to lock ups at the minute but there 30 mins drive from apart & i cant get to the cars cos of stuff in them they are cheap but when you add them up over the month plus getting to them i thought i would try & find somewhere bigger in one place instead of gettting afew places dotted everywhere i think with 8000+ members we should give £1 a week & buy some land & rent it out OLDSKOOL STORAGE

cookie - farmers are a strange breed as ive been to see loads of them all run down non working farms so wouldnt damage any produce, but look at you like you have 10 heads !!! think some of them are ARMISH ??? then the others love to store caravans as they dont have to do anything as they just sit there & move once a year or they have been bought by someone to devolope into there estate when the buy there lord & lady of the manor title of the internet the problem with letting agencies now is all the messing about as i no a few places now that are now in what they call "brown belt land" so it limits what the land can be used for plus they are all on about H&S,fire regs,waste licenses, liabilatey insurance !!!!!! oh well i'll keep dreaming i even spoke to one bloke that has a big barn/shed & a huge empty compound round it & he stores industrial bins & skips in the shed (only takes up about 1/4 of the barn ) asked him compound is for commercial vechiles (should have got a recovery truck !!!! ) & this made me laugh the skips & bins are inside "so they dont get damaged & wet "

chassis number,reg & £25 thats all i needed for my escort as it had no logbooks & we didnt know what engine size it was (couldnt be bothered to go & look when iwas filling out the form at daft O'clock )

Petrol going up again heading for £1.10 @litre
ALL4SHOW replied to JAY PS's topic in OLD SKOOL FORD CHAT
i read in the paper that its at an all time high theres more proof on diesel about tax normal diesel £1.09 ltr red diesel 65p ltr ! why ? its the same stuff ???? i know a few lads that use "bio-fuel" some use fresh cooking oil but i know some that use the old stuff from chippies & stuff but why should they pay VAT on it (legally you are supposed to ) & the ones that run there cars on used cooking oil why should the pay for waste ? they should be payed for using it as the are always banging on about re-cycling & the enviroment well what are they doing & its supposed to be cleaner i was talking to a taxi driver & he said that he wont run his cab in rush hour as its not worth it & i know a few self employed & small bussinesses that are saying the same as they add the fuel bills up at the end of the month then theres the knock on effect of transport cost on EVERYTHING yet the minimuim hourly wage stays the same ? it cost a lad i worked with nearly a days wage just to get to work every week while he was on the starting pay grade RANT OVER FOR NOW -
i know a few people on here have got yards & workshops so i thought i would ask where you find them as the places ive seen are silly money new units or dont want cars there ? all i want is somewhere that i can leave a car,work on it,store the stuff i need or break it up for spares but all the places i new years ago have been knocked down/rebuilt so anyone in the northwest no any farmers with an empty barn ??? as the one i thought i had has changed his mind again

ive had a lot of problems with my teeth over the last few years due to working 12hrs nights so never got time to go for check-ups so it was always emergancy appointment jobs ( filling/tooth cracked,absess,major tooth ache ) i used pain killers,clove oil,ambisol,salt water then it was anti-biotics then get it ripped out but i always ended up in agony after it was done as the roots of my teeth are quite long & nearly touch at the end ( ask your dentist if yours do as they put it on file for next time & they try to split the tooth or something before they take it out as it does less damage to the gum ???? ) but the best thing they told me to use was was sensadyne tooth paste !!!! just rub it on the tooth or gum like an ointment & leave it there dont wash your mouth out & just do it as & when i tried it & it went from pain to dull ache to nothing within 24hrs its for sensertive teeth so it numbs the nerve & it works on tooth ache aswell well it works for me

even diesel is the same now might aswell drop down to a 1.4 petrol escort/orion as the family car & save on the tax
