Funny how it`s been cherished over thousands of years - although if you were a pre-cow of pre-history it must have been great to have a lick of the salt cake - if your tongue had gone blue due to lack of minerals.
`Worth your weight in salt`... Read more
I noticed a car covered in it last week. The rear wiper had been deployed and there was a clear arc you could see through.
There was little on our cars just South of Leeds - although I kept them rinsed off with a hose - in particular the glass areas.... Read more
Heater fan only works on full blast, what's likely to be the problem and can I fix it without major dismantlement? Wife hankering after another one but only does 2K a year and car runs perfectly well enough for that. Read more
Under the dash on passenger side,2 bolts/screws undo and slide out what looks like a credit card.Undo connection and remove.It will have burned out.You will be able to see where,at the top where the printed circuit is 'fattest'.Rub down with very fine wet & dry and solder a bridge across.Be patient,its tricky to do.I've done this a few times with success.Most cards in the sc***yard are burned out as well but can be repaired.Be careful about buying from ebay,as parts from sc***ped cars are about the same age and are on their way out !
A new card is about £40 from Nissan.
If you`ve ever looked at a global map in China, the UK is somewhere up near the top left corner - as relevant as the Galapogos islands are to us - and not worth a shrug - just a blank stare when you mention the UK.
That was my impression on meeting business minded relatives on a recent visit.... Read more
How can we export? The company i worked for (25 years), has now moved to china, machines and all.
Yes we may have ruled 1/3 of the known world, raped and pillage, but the strong have always taken from the weak, this is nature and will never change....
Please help! I've never had any problems with this car until yesterday. I went into neutral cos I stopped at a junction, but I tried to drive off, and go back into Drive, it went into Drive no problem, but it WOULD NOT go forward!! I tried reverse, and it can do that, so i tried Drive again, but it just wouldn't go forward! RAC came out and said it's the gearbox and would be £800 to replace!! Does this sound like a gearbox problem cos i don't have £800 lying around!!! Read more
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
This should prove ideal:-...
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

Been a couple of minor falls in NE Derbyshire and I've sluiced them away before using the wipers. Not noticeable on the paint though.
