haz e46 with airbag warning light

phone died. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1995-PEUGEOT ... 2888571738

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-ACCORD ... 2929268089 hmph, that's quite a nice looking car

Absolutely love that colour. Not just cos it's v similar to my last Saab and t'Jazz.

I could cope with that, would leave a bit for fixing it too

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132487147115 this one's back up. Seller claims a couple of no-shows, and that the serious oil leak is fixed (but that the rocker cover is weeping slightly). Went for 2800 last time

ooh, shiny! added oil burning excitement as well.

if owt goes weird over the next few days it'll have to wait cos I'm off to hospital shortly and I'll not be much use for a few days, possibly weeks.

Hmm. That vaguely rings a bell from years ago. I'll have a look. I only really ever use one internet connection so I'm not seeing it, but...

I almost sent vic away with the picasso but it was a frosty morning and the focus was already warm.

but it's been a while* xedos **Fri Jan 19, 2018 1:55 pm**

but it's been a while*

I think it's an HTML feature of the text box, which you can turn off with a tag of somekind

Re: autocomplete... the StarTrekGuide folks who wrote this chat thing called it a day 3 or 4 years ago. I'm using archive.org to try and work out if it's a chat "feature" or a web browser "feature"

Tempting to buy a 206GTI to run about in till the MOT expires, then see if the engine would fit in the 405

Aye. Well, technically Rotherham but only by about 30 yards. Currently working from home because slipped disc. Stupid houses.

I have some broken cars. Or rather, Ozzy has some broken cars of mine. And I have one of his working things, still.

Go on then Ozzy, what is the pretty thing you've broken down in?

Aye.

He's giving me £900 tho including the wind deflector and I only paid £650 (although I spent a bit) so it's not awful.

Bargain Saab xedos **Mon Jul 24, 2017 6:30 pm**

Bargain Saab

I've already bought a Honda accord but it's too new to be very interesting. It was <£600 though, so... Lucky I'm not homeless and have loads of places to put cars that aren't just random residential streets...

I see nothing wrong with that harlequin potato shaped vehicle. Lexus doesn't look happy though.

Saably was sent to auction. Doing ok... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253050048909

Same difference! tone_depear **Sun Jul 23, 2017 7:05 pm**

Same difference!

that's not a spare mgf that's a spares mgf. way, way too much wrong with that one!

Actually, I'm going to turn my laptop off before I do something stupid

mind, I keep wondering about offering a home for that spare MGF you have

"oh god, not another heap of shit to clog up my lift / yard"

I see you there, Ozzy, worrying in the background

I do want a broken 405 but I can't have one. Currently have no parking so the Saab is still parked up the road from my old house, and the Picasso and her Civic are both in pay and displays. :'(

Yeah, that looks nice. Sadly I'm a bit spent up at the moment and i already have a convertable. GLWTS!

actually, it looks ace. Don't suppose you want a broken 405 estate?

want me to stick it on the NHS intranet? someone will think it's a bargain..!

Big cars best. Speaking of which, OM, you don't fancy swapping your perfectly good potato shaped vehicle with a sunroof for mine which burns a bit of oil and doesn't have a sunroof, do you? (+ some pennies)

was also handy this afternoon "securely" storing niece and nephews MTBs in the boot whilst at the pub

pug achieved 40.1MPG, making it an effective* suzuki replacement

you know, that sounds surprisingly familiar. You aren't the only one who thinks that.

something like that.

I trust the thumb up meant 'my fiat ducato is fsr superior to your shiity Japanese luxobarge, be gone with you' and not 'this is fucked, can I have a lift back to the yard plz'

why didn't you say in the advert you'd consider games consoles! Atart 2600 + 3 games 2nite?

Heavy night? not so much drink as driving - I went to a gig in stanley, then drove a bunch of drunks to a nightclub, then took them all home, then drove back to boro. Didn't have a drop all night, still had a hangover this morning. I need to not live 50 miles from my work and social life,

last time you did a no res auction I ended up buying your car.

https://www.gumtree.com/p/suzuki/2004-suzuki-alto-32k-£30-tax-mot-nov-/1250508693 Debating a no-reserve auction, can't decide if it'd be brave or just stupid.

I'll try and find out what's available; it's in king's lyn which is a bitch to cart stuff from

Are you in need of anything ozzy? rents are currently doing a houseclearance

I've thrown away some furniture this week but it was all utter shit)

I'm out of my house on Wednesday (if I ever finish all this packing and tip runs) and we're in her tiny studio until new house is ready, hopefully pre Xmas.

still not in my house, still filling the garage with donated furniture

We've already got a picasso. I use it as a van. A quick van with good aircon and a big glass sunroof.

Tl;dr: Dad, can we buy an Picasso? tone_depear **Sat Jun 24, 2017 6:50 pm**

Tl;dr: Dad, can we buy an Picasso?

When the (probably original) cambelt goes I might just get another

So many things I would have had to hire a van to do, but haven't. https://flic.kr/p/URAp7g wish it had a sunroof tho.

Currently on day 5 of emptying my house. I am even more convinced that a decent xsara Picasso is just about the best car you can get. I like sitting up high and i like vans, but still. It's so good and was so cheap.

Next message: Dad, can we buy a Nova? and repeat....

Message conversation with conor. Dad, Can we buy a Ford Maverick? Eww, no! Why would you want one of those? Whats wrong with it? It's a nissan terrano with a ford badge. No it isn't (pictures of muscle car) Ahhh. I thought you'd gone funny in the head. Still no though.

Just noticed your logo on Google Maps is different to the one on the sign on your gate

Yes, and replied within minutes - when can you do it? Could do same thing again Monday, or I have Tuesday off (but a bairn to look after)

did you get my text about the clutch and the manifold gasket?

thanks for sorting the back door despite the close proximity of the wishing well.

Yeah, I think a few people didn't believe it had a wishing well

I can confirm it has seats. And a wishing well.

Not sure how i'd get it to you mind, I need to be in Newcastle at 0730

What's your diary looking like tomorrow Ozzy? Would be nice to get a pair of knowledgeable eyes over it before I travel hundreds of miles in it, but assuming it makes it back from Londonium today...

I'm hoping it's going to be very practical and economical. Pics later, maybe; it doesn't lock and I need to leave it in londinium overnight

could you live in it if for completely improbable reasons your house purchase still wasn't complete?

Is it massively impractical and thirsty?
