To put it bluntly, the driver's a phukking tw@t, and deserves all the ridicule and fines he's got coming.

Should it not have twin webers?- mine did, but you are talking in the singular.....Check for a massive air leak at the joint between either of the carbs bodies and the manifold-this is your most likely cause, and they also need to be synchronised with a vacuum gauge, this gets rid of any flat spots.

These people do 12v ones, I don't think they do 24v but they may be able to get one or know of a supplier who does do them. They are good for lots of old type wiring bita and bobs.

alternativity without inferiority.

It's not just parking tickets.
It is every fixed penalty including the millions handed out by speed cameras.

Didn't know it was still in existence!
I'm up for it.

There has been pictures of C4 concept but it will not get used.
Both Citroen and Peogeot are pulling out of the WRC at the end of year! (psa group)

Any pictures of the said Reno? Not too sure which one your on about but my money is on an Alpine GTA, or am I right off the mark?

Is it just the way I'm looking at the photo, or does this car only have half a driver's door mirror? Looks like the same sort of damage as was done to mine, so I'll keep an eye on it to see if it sells and for how much - at least my engine still works...

£400 and they're going to find something wrong with it? They either got ripped off, or its a mk2...

Take a look at the Pepsi Max advert, with a monkey/chimpanze apparently driving a Peugeot.
It's a funny advert !

Before anybody says,
She pulled the dust sheet off the car, she did not go in the garage and start stripping! (Or is it just me who thought that when reading my post again)

I kept on thinking they had largely disappeared, then realised that some days I see 2, 3 or even more fairly tidy ones - and that's not just when I drive over in mine to see Tom!
Might that BX16 be the cream one that kept on cropping up on ebay as an ex-demonstrator?

I think it's LAUGH OUT LOUD at least thats what I thought

sorry bout the double post :S

Oh come on, theres nothing wrong with Natasha, couldnt you have just muted the tv and shut your eyes when Daniel was in shot? :D

If your car is clamped at Ikea, do you think that the clampers have all the bits for the clamp or are some missing?

This scam's been around for quite a while now, and is applied to all sorts of advertised items of significant value. Apparently, it all works as claimed until the cheque bounces!

GS looks like a good project.
Even rarer, I found this
Can't even remember last time I saw one, early 80's I think!

Might I suggest one of those marine style air horns directed back at him every time he offends.
Its unlikely the police would do anything though as he isnt sounding his horn to warn somone of his presence or warn somone to move out of the way they may have a quiet word with him and ask him to be more courterous.
I suppose you could try having a...

Tanov you need to remove this post and place it on the Citoren forum.

Whilst re-reading Cecil Lewis's superbly literate and evocative Great War memoir of his time in the RFC, 'Sagittarius rising'I came across this passage where he describes his Morane Parasol aeroplane, and I quote..
..... Moranes were French machines.You could see that as soon as you looked at one. It was something in the design, difficult to put a...

Need a POP up blocker. Got one of my security wall. Only the hardest get through. May be 1 a day.

I remember reading about this in a newspaper article, and couldn't stop laughing reading throught the details about it.
A few days later though in another newspaper article, after the Lax Power magazine presented the car to the group Goldie Lookin Chain, they started to use it, and drove it about.
It then got customised by another driver a white...

Just seen this DS 19 toy on sale on ebay and thought it may raise a few smiles

If I can remember where the Dolphin is in Soton..........I'll try and get along.

Ive only used the cruise control a couple of times in my Supra as ive not had it long and I normally only drive in 30 limits etc. However im sure it must use more fuel as when its on it tends to get back to speed as quickly as possible and you can hear it using more throttle than if I am manually doing it. Cant really say.
As for other drivers...

Looks ok to me apart from the box.
How much is a recon Xantia box?
There must be a Xantia or 406 thats been stuffed around somewhere in a scrappy to get a good box from.

Can do better than that. M6, M5 junctions 8 to 10. More car park than motorway. Pointless as always blocked by European lorry drivers lately who still drive down the out side lane!!! AAAAARGH.
Not having a go just a little observation from using last 2 months

no ice?

Well, Tom, one of the answers is obviously yes.... (the last one).
Maybe they're just starting to obey the laws of bangernomics - 12 months MOT = £300 to £400. Tax pro rata. Maybe not.
As for the ones without tax, perhaps there are just a lot of trader part-ex cars on offer - the it owes me principle (chop in the tax straight away and try it on...

I've just lost 5 Stone but I still won't fit!

Thought all Vauxhall Nova 1.5 3 doors had these already....

The music in the video is catchy!!

I SOOOOO want one of those, although I would expect trying to get parts for the Kugelfischer (sp?) injection would be fun to say the least.... But then I would probably drop in a 170bhp V6 from a 505.

have a look here

Well the ZX should have the 2.0 155BHP (But alegedly 150BHP) lump as used in the late 405Mi16's.
The Pug has at least a 12bhp advantage, but is it not heavier......?
I don't know much about the specs/figures of either car to be honest, but I suspect there would be little to choose.

Never forget that the wearing of a hat by the driver slows down the car!

Buy another BX. No bother since. The mysterious cooling system problem turned out not to be (Always overheated after a level check but leave it alone and it loses no water! Odd!) and a new speedo cable was 5€ from a scrapper in France.Some use has improved it but I still don't like it, hence the new TZD project, of which more anon.

Get some of Clearalex crystals or tablets (you can get them in Halfrauds). I have no idea what's in them, but it is unsurpassed for keeping windscreens clean. Takes a while to cut through the gunge initially but it gets there. Add some meths to the washers to stop them freezing (or some other screenwash additive if you don't like the smell!).

Excellent!

Been a couple of times with the wife. Nice place for a winter brake and dead cheap as well.

Following on in similar vein, one story from my garage days, we had an old woman who brought her car in with a knocking noise on the driver’s side. After several road tests, we could not find the fault and returned the car. She immediately returned the car complaining no work had been done as the fault was still there. We road tested the car with...

Sorry man, but once I lost the cookies there was nowt?

They've developed similar things for cyclists, but the trouble is I don't know whether I'm coming or going!!

Errr...first, place on axle stands,then, errr...... depressurise the system.......ummm,er,.... try pulling your eyelid down and then blowing your nose!!!!
Don't forget, reassembly is the reversal of dismantling!!!!!!
