I had a head gasket blow and it caused the white smoke, do not drive untill u know.

I wish I had done it earlier ;);)

I had a Peugot 406 V6 3.0L estate which was under 7 sec 0-60, that was a sleeper OK. :D

I always wanted to be an inventor, so I became a Design Engineer the hard way (apprenticeship, tech & lots of study) now semi retired ,have patented many ideas, and really enjoyed my working life.:D:D

I had a 406 V6 saloon, which would blast off all the Chav cars, it was great & would pass anything but a petrol pump! (3 litre engine):D:D

In Peterborough we only had about 1" of snow so far, so no comment about how my M&S tyres are behaving :D.

I had 2 pairs of glasses for reading and driving, 2 years ago I got the highest specification varifocals available, put them on and had no problems at all, it is important to get the best quality even though they cost a fair bit more.

On my C Class, if the fuel gets too low, the engine management light stays on for three days after the car gets refuelled. Hope this helps.

My Hilka set is over 50 years old, I haven't broken anything but lost the odd socket, which I replaced with Britool, Anybody need any Whitworth socets?:):)

I found it was a lot less easy putting it back:wallbash::wallbash:
