Who deserves a boll*ocking for this?

Only derv available at the two stations I visited.

And with derv costing £1.93 a litre (40p a litre more than proper fuel) I'm not surprised it wasn't selling.


Anyway, I'm OK for now but I wonder how long this will last.

 

Well, the Tories were utterly useless for 14 years so change was inevitable.
The country needed to remind itself, and the new generation of voters needed to learn, why we should never have Labour in power.

Yes, the platform isn't built for those traffic levels.

I know when I looked for mine, it was £2k, hence its held together with Chiny takeaway tubs and sikaflex

that bit of loom isn't easy yo remove and refit. Best to inspect wiring diagrams, and adjust loom as required.

Cheers Al,
              strangely..it's ATP that are confusing me, by saying in one instance that that their own range of shocks/springs are all compatible across the range, and when cross checked, they say not! Also adding the cost of two wishbone rods and drop kits,  one car has just been done, so that one will just need shocks and springs. So my thinking in that case I would buy their finest Chinese cheese range to keep the cost down, bearing in mind that my annual mileage is sub 1500 miles a year so that should see me out for the next three years. Certainly will look at those part references, and work something out.

At this point in time, the shocks will either be Standard or LSC. Wishbones and track rods are identical across the board.

The following list is an indication of actual OEM rather than GM branded or whatever the interwebs says will fit. The exception will be the springs.

That should give you all the parts numbers.

Obviously other people will have their own ideas but that's about as close to factory as you're going to get

I've made the decision to take my three cars back from the lowered set up, back to standard, and basically this has come about by the shite standard of the roads making every journey a tooth rattler. So the problem is trying to get  the correct shocks/springs, as when trying to get them ordered, I'm getting ''this item doesn't fit'' for the 2000 3.0 ex cop car, which although was registered as an MV6 doesn't bear any interior trim parts to denote that. And for some reason I was thinking that the 3.0 and the 3.2 suspension parts would be the same and ordering three sets would have been easy. So question is...are there differences between the two models, or is it that the sellers are relying just on the ebay guides? thanks for any help and advice

That was certainly the case at the last election. That and people not bothering at all gave them a huge majority, despite the fact they got less votes than they did when Corbyn got slaughtered by the electorate the previous time

Yep....it's called the loveless landslide.

Nobody rates the 'wooden individual' that is Starmer, but the Tories deserved and received a kicking from the voters.

That's all well and good, but we're paying for it now
