Ever since my childhood I have just loved the best looking Vauxhall ever:  the 1960 Cresta PB in it's two tone colours and American styling

The second favourite Vauxhall was the 1960 Victor  with again the great American styling, but for me in red.  That is because it was the first Vauxhall car I rode in, the first and second cars before being an Austin A30 and a Standard 8 (in red).  What lovely cars they were to at least look at!    Although as a very young passenger I found them just wonderful

Thanks for sharing.

Yes I do fine it a very smooth a refined place to be, whats funny is the salary sacrifice deal removes their only negative point, the price!

I did spec up an i4 eDrive40 and it was ~£50 a month less than the M60. Felt for the price, it was worth it for the extra horses 

Surprised they don't mention the weight, it's a very, very heavy car (2,300kg) - Even I notice it chucking around my favourite diesel covered and off camber roundabout. The old 435i and it's terrible run flat tyres barely gripped there but it was a good bit of fun. The X-Drive i4 is not quite as fun there.

"The i4 remains a better all-rounder than the Tesla Model 3, let down only by its lofty price and the fact it doesn’t have universal access to the US maker’s excellent Supercharger network. Supremely refined, lightning quick and filled with well integrated, intuitive tech, the only reason not to buy an i4 M60 is because the eDrive35 is 99 per cent as capable – all for £20k less."

Fortunately the Labour Party has strength in depth.

If Starmer falls on his sword good old 'Ange' can take the reins.

She's still under HMRC investigation for her tax evasion.

Streeting's mentor was one P. Mandelson.

Reeves will go with Starmer,

Cooper is useless.

So any leadership contest will probably be between Mad Red Ed Millipede and the member for Gaza & Karachi Shabana Mahmood.   

I imagine that the so called 'Soft Left' are desperate to have a Labour PM who owns a vagina, and if it's a vagina of colour so much the better.     

Red Ed can be the Chancellor and play with his abacus.

Ah, yes, the Ventura. 3.3 litre engine out of a truck and front bench seat. My brother bought one for £50 and painted it like a Starsky and Hutch. When you went round a bend it was very hard to stay on the drivers side of the car.

100 replies and counting on how to ignore MOT advisories and wipe down a pair of shocks.

Yeah, isn't still good on the OOF Steve!!

Like the "Word Association" thread..................................................!!!!!

. 

That's a great thread ( word association) I started that under my first psydeonum ( Tilbo 2 Boxer dogs ) at the time I was following one on the MB forum surprised me how well it's done.😂😂😂

My first car was a 1964 Vauxhall Velox PB  hydramatic 3.3 litre bought it as soon as I passed my test in 1971, cost me £130 and then £250 to insure it , saw one locally a few weeks ago in really nice condition but even they look small now and the wheels looked so narrow kept it for three years nice vehicle.

The mechanical piece is sided and different front to rear, the solenoid is not.

Your issue stems from the mechanical part. I suggest the latch from a left hand drive car because it is probably less worn than a UK right hand door one.

I suggested removing the front left door latch to give you an idea of how it works to facilitate opening the driver's door.

Blimey mate - you've gone way out of my league with a 3.3 Ventora.

Was it called an 'Intercontinental' or something...?

I’ve no idea Dave.    I’d never even heard of that model before I met him.
