This one is midnight blue with tan leather, I'm going to keep the colour the same but although the seats look in good nick I know of someone local who can refurb them completely, I'm going to keep them the same colour but will have the leather in the "diamond quilted" pattern that can be seen on most Bentleys.
Keep them original, Mick.

The Granada is being collected today & going straight to a bodyshop where my mates MGB V8 is almost completely restored, I have decided to go for a complete restoration as well he wanted the best MGB V8 in the UK so I want the best Granada Ghia it will take a while but it will be a stunner eventually..👍
Sounds like a plan, Mick. Can't wait to see the results when it's done. Are you going to drive it or keep it as a show car?

With the screen, scuttle and dash out, that panel can theoretically be replaced, it's bonded into a channel in the firewall.

The two terms aren't mutually exclusive.

It was a company called Jurassic Fibre (no me neither) that installed ours, and I've only seen one house on our road get connected so far.

I don't think that they could have put the connection point in the pavement by my house in a worse place if they tried.  Same with the neighbours as well.  ::)
Ours is on the wall at the end of the small front gardens so, if you get connected, they have to bury the cable under the garden. Don't think I'd trust them to take up my block paving and put it back the same.

Don't they just blow the fibre through the copper ducts that already go to the house.  That's what they did here in MK.  900Mb sync for £32pm.
There are no copper ducts to my house.

You never get stuck behind me
No, because you only have 150 horses ;D
150 horses is enough to lose your license fairly quickly if you try hard enough.

Only had one Renault, a 20TS auto. It was a comfortable car and was plenty fast enough. Unfortunately, the camshaft was made of chocolate (French steel) and once the cam lobes had worn down to a point where there was no adjustment left, I..............sold it to my mate 😂😂

Virgin spent months cabling the whole district around here, did a pretty decent job of making good the pavements. It must have been an investment of £millions, and I don't think many residents actually changed to Virgin.

I've seen them advertise deals with refurbished kit, so keep your eye out.  :y


It looks like the cost is currently £225 ( £450 before) for the dish, and then £85 a month. Not cheap.

Elon is worth £280 billion so he could afford to make it less expensive.

What sort of speeds do you get for that?  ???

That's a similar price to high speed fibre I think?  If you have fibre that is...  ::)
High speed fibre is well cheaper than £85. But, if you live on a rambling country estate, Openreach aren't about to use a whole drum of cable to get to you.

Elon Musk could do with a couple of bob, so you will be keeping him from the food bank.

Big difference between weathered and green slime. Out patios are York stone and now look like the year they were laid.
Bloody southerners, coming up here, pinching our stone.
Bloody Northerners coming down here and nicking our women... :P
Of course, how could they resist?  ;D

I read earlier that there were two pilots on board. Seems to have been some kind of equipment failure, it will all come out in the wash.
