Sadly the time has come to help clear my parents garage as they move to a smaller place, much to my dad's disgust as I threw away rusty stone age screws (slotted) and previously used drywall screws, with bits of old wood, blunt saws, countless gallons of paint and some old car parts (my dad...

So just watched the news with a milkman of 32 years saying his customer base is increasing As a child we always had our milk delivered, something I personally kept up until about 20 years ago. Now I don't know anyone who has milk delivers and at 30pence a pint more than The local supermarket I...

I pass this rather poor looking car fairly regularly - it has certainly sat unmoved and unloved for at least 8 years, probably more. Every now and then someone washes it and removes the bird pooh and road grime - it is right next to a busy road. The pictures make it look far better than it...

Sad to hear the passing of lead singer Delores O'Riordan at age 46, great voice and and some all time classic tracks, Linger, Zombie.

A well known issue and relatively easy fix. After an MoT advisory and a very lucky escape when at 10mph the brake lines split above the rear wheel arch, causing another entry in 'the low loader thread' the challenge of replacing the corroded parts was under taken. Jacking the car quite high on...

Having just replaced the water pump on my 2001 3200, which took rather longer than expected, largely down to not being rushed rather than mechanical ineptitude! I am approaching completion, I must say how helpful the threads on cambelt and water pump removal are. But I am left with a dilemma...

Always been a bit sceptical about these, but as new cars now only come with a can of foam rather than a complete tyre and wheel has anybody used one and what are they like after? This morning the mrs returns home with a very flat tyre and a drywall screw sticking out the middle of the tread. I...

Anyone who was caught in the fall out of the security alert yesterday afternoon in and around London Bridge will be pleased to hear it was caused by an suspicious car. Apperently someone had seen a 3200 without CEL and it's engine running.:conspiracy::conspiracy:

Having just changed the cambelt and more recently the starter motor, I was looking forward to getting some of the little jobs done, such as the brake lines, a good under body wash and seal. etc etc. My dismay at finding a small puddle of coolant under the engine and no sign of any leaking...

Just watched this in HD and can't wait for the rest of the series. Just what are going to do when David Attenborough finally passes on - what an amazing life that man has had, moreover what an amazing influence he has had on millions of people. He is a true legend and inspiration for so many...

Well I quite like the look. http://www.topgear.com/car-news/insider/high-performance-kia-gt-arrives-next-year Rear end is more Jag, but I can't bring myself to like a car built by people that eat dogs

Sadly I must report the embarrassing non starting at Brands Hatch is it the battery. Having tried charging it I eventually found the receipt, took it back to Halfords, they stuck it on a machine which said it was good - but the girl changed it anyway, no hassle , no quibble, can't argue with...

Had these removed from my 2001 3200 a couple of weeks ago to make way for some thing a little less bulky. They are now surplus to requirements and offered for sale on the Forum first - I'll put them on ebay later. I do not know the make, somebody may recognise them As you can see they are not...

So having changed the cambelt, I removed the spark plugs and have NGK PMR8B plugs What is the correct gap, service schedule states replace every 20km, but these look new - aside form a bit of oil that was nestling in the bottom of the bore, should I be worried about that?)

Having had my exhaust fettled - well removed and replaced with a tube and spent most of the afternoon trying to get around You Tube - I am certainly no techno phobe, I hope these links work. The picture is of the rather nice end caps Josh supplied, I asked him to leave them protruding from...

A visit to a nice young man today. Just look what he has done - I have moved to the dark side.

I have booked the 28th May as "upset your neighbours day" This is because I shall be visiting a certain den where my rusty steel pipes and restrictive boxes will be swapped for an uncluttered straight through bore, from front to back. I can't wait!!!!!!

I have 3 x 2m high Comms Cabinets complete with lots of things with flashing lights in and a UPS, I am not technical in IT so couldn't tell any more details but I can take pictures if required. Also a number of 1400x800 office desks with black tops and two drawer wheeled pedestals - all going...

Just seen this Maserati are one of the least depreciating cars - shame I can't afford a new one http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-news/94359/car-valuations-how-much-is-your-car-worth

Watching this just now and loving the retired Lt.Col who at 82 years old deliver a coup degrais to the council on appeal when he parked in a previously free car park at a station. After being told he should have checked the new signs - he produced a photo of the 'Free Parking' sign on the main...
