I booked the ferry over to Calais for £65 and we always like to keep some flexiblity in these trips - so no hotel bookings in advance involving credit cards.
Any thoughts? Diesel prices and so on?... Read more
I wonder if anyone can help?

Gents, Long time lurker only recently started posting. I am hoping a few wise heads here can help clarify my thinking.
So it appears SWMBO and i have had a wee accident and number four might be on the way. I am planning to shortly be de-seeded to prevent future accidents but this leaves us in a dilemma. After number 2 arrived we decided to go for a large estate as we deemed even if number 3 appeared we would be covered. Avensis estate has performed admirably but within the next 5 months a change will be needed.... Read more
I was wondering if anybody in this forum has/had/remebers the Bridgestone 350 GTR? I saw a s/h one many moons ago (well around 1974/5) in a dealers. He suggested it was nearly as fast as a as the Bonneville of the same era. I cannot recall seeing one since. A few years ago I did see a 175 single at a classic vehicle show. They were attractive bikes and it seems a pity they gave up manufacturering them to focus on tyres! Read more
Good link! New site to me.
hi, my 2.0l hdi 406 2002, 207k has a screeching/crackling noise on start up until fully warmed up. It's coming from a pully which is driven by the cam belt, it is high up on the front of the engine. i think it drives the fuel pump...? Any help please

Hiya chaps,

I left my car for 4 weeks over the winter (freezing conditions, etc.)
When I returned, there was a slight rubbing when using the brake that coud be felt through the pedal - almost like there was something stuck on the pad causing it to catch then work properly (much like on a bicycle when the rim is out of alignent). I tried braking hard a few times then normally and it seemed to subside. However, it's still there 3 months later. Brakes seem to work fine, I was wondering whether it could be a rust patch or maybe the pad was worn in one area or perhaps wheel balancing? Read more
Is there any reason they warp?
It might be coincidence it was after 3 weeks of non use in winter, they have colder winters elsewhere than we have without problems....
I have to store my car in a garage for 3/4 months.
Any suggestions on how to keep it in order?
I have read suggestions of a trickle charger but the garage has no access to solar or electricity. Also, should I overpump the tyres and by how much?... Read more
