The Tory bias on the BBC was crystal clear during the last GE, one standout example for me was Corbyn addressing a 10,000 + crowd and didn't get a sniff of coverage, however the syphilitic witch May was on a loop walking round a bakery fondling Brioche buns whilst warbling strong and stable, it reminds me of the 'dangle berries' spouted on North Korean TV news sometimes
Not very strong nor stable at the moment though is she

Squirt any old lube down the keyhole, remove the fob from your key, put the chip somewhere safe, put key in and get some light tension on it with pliers/grips then tap the middle of the key with a light hammer, such as a tack hammer and the key should turn to aid barrel removal

If you remove the buttons either side of the radio, insert the removal keys you can get a flat screwdriver from either side in a tiny gap between the radio chassis and cage, not behind the plastic radio front! then lever it out a touch and it should then slide out easily. I destroyed several radios before I learnt this trick

General Car Chat / Re: Tracing your car's history...
« on: 26 November 2018, 21:01:55 »Funny you should say that. I remember some confirmed cases of Ford cars managing to "depart" the Dagenham, or was it Halewood, plant in the 1970's without being registered i.e. they had been nicked and officially never built!!
Rather like the Jonny Cash hit, one piece at a time, but in these cases it was the whole car!

I drink with a couple of old Ford lads, they have some good tales from the old days, if one of their own cars was going down the line they tended to get all the extras possible bolted to them, one of them managed to cobble together a 4 door RS2000 allegedly

I'm thinking they won't but would 02 CD seats work in a 97 2.5 TD?

You have to force it away from the door to get access to the mechanism, I break Omegas and have a drivers door card if needed

Only success I have had in this situation is window down, sacrifice door card and massively douse the mechanism in WD and work the mechanism manually with a long screwdriver, said lock is still working years later
