Is the Mason's Arms at Strawbery Bank still trading? That used to be a good boozer.

What a worthwhile use of our taxes and judicial system. Full marks to the police. :doh:

I used to get some waves in my SAAB 900, even more in the 99. It follows that the older/rarer etc car you have the more folk of that ilk like to show a bond. My mate has a VW bus and his wrist aches on a long journey...as it were...!

I drove about 2000 miles in France this summer. I have some issues with the way the French drive (too liberal with the horn and sharing the road seems to be a struggle for them...although I reckon that may have been down to my nazi car) but as a rule their lane dscipline is good. On every...

If he's so bothered about the loss of life etc why was he instrumental in sending so many young men to their deaths over the last six years? Not to mention civilian casualties. And all for no apparent benefit. Well done.

:D Well the bolts on the manifolds were known to shear on the slant 4.

Sure, but if the door cards do have to come off is there any risk of setting off the airbags?

Thanks for all the helpful advice with this. I'm going to have a bash at these Door Control Modules. I've never had a car with side airbags though. If I open up the door panels in the front doors is there anything I have to watch out for as far as settting the airbags off, or anything else for...

That's what I thought until everything else started to go west. I haven't checked the battery yet (don't have the kit currently) but doesn't the fact that the car is starting fine mean the battery is ok?

Ok, I'll look into all that. Cheers Steve.

I haven't, do you think it might just be a failing battery? The indicators and windscreen wiper have now stopped working. I noticed when changing the myriad of fuses that a lot of the systems that have failed, share fuses (which makes sense as far as them failing together). I wondered if it...

I've had a few SAAB's and I loved them. My old 900 was probably the best car I've ever owned, all things considered. The problems with SAAB are manifold and it would require an essay to go into here but I think they're solvable. I would hate to see the name disappear and I'm surprised the...

I've been having various electrical issues with my 1998 w202. First the drivers electric window stopped working...then the passenger. I changed the fuses and they were fine. Then the windows broke again. I pulled out the old fuses, tested then and they were fine. I replaced them and the...

Why would you need a caravan when you've got a 124 estate? Can't be that much more roomy... ;)

Computers don't make very good customers though so if nobody works they won't be able to pay you for your services.

Cheers, I'm ringing round.

Yes, I will need a replacement but if i can't source one in the next day or so I'll be off the road and currently I can't find one anywhere. I was hoping some tape would give me a bit of leeway.

Somebody has kindly smashed into my bumper whilst parked. The bumper is ok, if unslightly, but they have also broken the side of my rear light lens. I assume, after looking at it, it's not possible to replace just the lens but the whole cluster and assembly must come out, correct? I can't seem...

Any way of checking?

Great stuff. Thanks.
