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

i live near the trafford center & i think theres is on tonight & i seems to get less & less every year the first year was mad but i think there was alot of complaints plus if you drive down the M60 past it you can see a few hundred people stood on the bridge over the motorway watching
-
my brother said i worked for him to a point changed from pain to dull ache but he only went once & now its come back what do they do (apart from turn you into a pin cushion ) get you to go every so many weeks or as & when ? did the pain get worse before it got better ? i was there today & she sort of sprung the idea on me so i didnt have much time to think about or ask anything & im there next friday but would like to know more about it from people that have had it done as i dont want to waste my time going for it if : A it dosent work or B it only works while you keep going

does it work ? ive heard a few people say it stopped them smoking but i mean for injuries ? ive had a long standing injury to one knee for years so they say my other knee has taken most of the strain up until 2yrs ago when i twisted my other knee so now they are both f*****d so ive been going to physio on & off for years & painkillers arnt working aswell (propably got used to them ) they have done the usual heres some exercises stuff & tried ultra sound works for a bit then back to square one they wanted to remove the cartlidge at one point but said no as i spoke to a few people & they said it was worse so know they have said try this as they have good results with sports injuries ? or is this just another well it worked for ...... so we will try this cos we havnt really got a clue what to do next treatment

History behind 940cc for Italian mk1 Escort?
ALL4SHOW replied to escysean's topic in OLD SKOOL FORD CHAT
they had a few odd-ball engines. i bought a mk3 escort with a 1.1 cvh -
they called it industrial asthma when i saw my doctor for it about 14yrs ago as i worked in a bodyshop repairing hgv's & he said it was the fumes & filler dust as they have fine particales in them . when i left there i never had a problem again till i started working in a bakery & then i had the odd problem with breathing & it was the flour i also notice some chemicals can make it harder to breath as but ive just put it down to family history as my mum has it really bad & my brother did when he was younger . but i find it hard to breath in some of the dush masks but its dust & stuff that sets it off

dont really read much but i did read that lenny mclean one a few years back

its an old one that mate what they are doing is hoping you will get out & chase him then his mate will come out from somewhere & get the money out of your cab while you are gone so you loose out whatever you do it was happening here a few years back but with the emergancy services : 999 call to a block of high rise flats leave vechile in car park go to top floor while they were up there t**ts took stuff out of the vechiles like walkie talkie/radios, stab proof vests ,or anything they could get there hands on

about 20yrs ago my brothers mate had a mk5 cortina with a transit engine in it as he worked for the council he got his diesel at a *discount* & as said above ive seen that fiesta 1.8 diesel running rwd in a magazine & i had a vectra tdci hire car for a few months & yes it was quick but it was very thirsty the thing i would think of is just like petrol engines the newer the engine the more sensors & electric/wiring you have to do my mate did a mk4 escort 1.3 to a 1.6 diesel in a day with the cars sat next to each other just the odd bit of wiring & re plumming

seen a few people ask other forums mebers to do it (not here) & my mate asked me to do it on one of his items & i won it but it was more to get his feedback rating up when he first started using it
