So if I sell my car for say £20k, ebay gets £2k??

Does anybody else find spray painting incredibly addictive? I bought a few cans of Satin Black today to spray behind the grill of my Mk2. I did that then continued on to the bonnet. Then took the wheels off and will be doing them tomorrow. I spent the good part of an hour looking around the shed for things to paint

I'm about to order a Marelli (Brise) Alternator for my Pinto. It is expensive, so I am open to suggestions/alternatives before I hand over the readies.....

Is your caps lock key in the boot?

Good points re the output levels. Are there plug-in sport/up-rated ones available then?

The funniest comment I heard about them is still Grandpa Simpson: "It's not a scam. You see, you give them your credit card number and if your number comes up you're a winner"

I'm after an alternator for a Pinto. What do you all recommend? I've found this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-ESCORT-MK2-R ... 518c84f33d

Thanks guys. Looks like I just need the non-slipper type then. You've just saved me £80

I'm looking at single leaf springs for my Mk2 Escort. One of them i've looked at is a slipper Whats the diff?

Cheers mate.But I meant the dash switches (ie hazard, etc). I wasnt clear in my initial post.

Are Mk2 Escort switches the same as on any other OSF of that era?

How did they turn out?

What would you guys recommend to clean 30 years of filth off seatbelts?

Whoa!!!! I could see that becoming very very addictive though. I'd sent everything there to get cleaned. (Laundry included )

I'm not a scientist by any means but wouldnt that cover store condensation? (Not sure if the term is "store" or "generate" or "attract". Anyway you know what I mean)

You silly silly man. The best bit of spending the £12 is you get to post in the "secret" room. And yet you still chose to post here.

Yeah would definitely suck if it was yours they were using as the guinea pig. I wonder how many ppl they actually get. 1 every couple of weeks would make for a pretty nice living.

I dont think its a problem at all. If you're stupid enough to pay money for a car directly after "winning" it on ebay and without seeing it, and to a dodgy dodgy kenyan bank account, and when the seller has minimal (if any) feedback, then you're too stupid to have a drivers licence anyway so you wont be bidding. So by using Jeremy Clarkson logic, IMO there's no issue. * flame suit on * Disclaimer: Opinion has been exaggerated somewhat to get my message across

This is making me feel that same way as when I saw boobies the first time: http://www.customcarbon.co.uk/_content/ ... l_dash.php

Thats exactly what I was thinking when I typed Beanometer

Maybe I should just get a Beanometer

Yep good call. Added to the list

Oooh now thats tricky. I like it

Mate have a break
