Thank you for sponsoring me, I really appreciate the genurosity

Steve B

Good luck with it and it is well doable. About 3 years ago I used to cycle 46 miles most Saturdays. Used to take about 2 breaks for 10/15 minutes. Took about 3 and 1/4 hours on the bike. I would have been not too fit at 14 stone, now at 16 stone I think I could still do it. Charming Cork countrysid...

Hi everyone I am doing a little bit of begging ;). Mods if you fell this is inappropiate, please let me know. I am undertaking a sponsored bike ride in aid of Scope, the bike ride will be from Dublin to Cork in September. The ride will take place over 4 days and is around 200 miles in distance. Day ...

Steve B

I will be there on Thursday, so I will pop across and have a chat with you Grant.

Steve B

Guy is a fcukwit to be honest.

Also it is the UNION FLAG, not the Union Jack, how can someone with his head so far up his own rectum advise the Goverment. Bet Brown would like us to sing the Flower of Scotland no doubt.

Yep that is very true, the engines are preheated before being fired up, generally run hotter than a normal car engine as well.

Steve B

Still owes me a Bosch wideband O2 sensor or a Â£50 refund, the guy is just a crook plain and simple.

Steve

Depends on the profit, he might make virtually no profit, the 62k is turnover not profit.

Steve B

Speak with Business Link, but I think it is from the date of registration. You get a VAT return every 3 months, and they don't backdate the VAT returns. Unfortunately we went VAT registered from day 1 so can give you 100% advice of when it would start, but I am pretty sure they way they do things it...

Steve B

Best they will do will be to freeze it, they are trying to reach targets over emissions, lowering the fuel duty will give the wrong impression. Don't forget there are hundreds of thousands of lazy people that could walk/cycle rather than drive, but as the car is seen as a viable alternative they don...

Steve B

Sod fuel blockades, all it does is cause hassles for us that need to travel in the course of our jobs. The Goverment, (and I hate them to be honest), are not the cause of the rise, it went up by 2p because of the Goverment recently, all other increases are due to the oil companies. Duty is 42p of th...

Steve B

To be honest it seems a mix and match (MG Rover quality for you), as to which cars got the sideskirts and which ones didn't.

If you go onto www.themgzr.co.uk, there are guys on there with the 105+, but they haven't got the parts one would expect.

Steve B

I personally would have used a 9v battery

Steve B

rich820coupe Me and my missus feel exactly the same as you, the only person that I feel for is little Maddy, having a little boy around the same age really hits home of how she must be feeling (if still alive). I was happy when the German reporter asked if they had anything to do with the disappeara...

Steve B

We (Banshee Motorsport) do some stainless covers like Drew used to sell. It isn't all on there and we can do bespoke stuff, if you want a particular item, that is not on the site just give me a shout and I will let you know if it is an off the shelf item, or a bespoke item. http://www.bansheemotorsp...

Steve B

All Ti's had the 282mm discs, and the same calipers

Steve B

Well a full 5 to 6 hours remapping a standalone system is at least Â£400, and that doesn't include the price of the ECU. If you were remapping a standard ECU, on a customer by customer basis, based on their choosen modes, I would expect just slightly less of this, though if there is a limited market...

Steve B

Clean the thread that pokes through, and throughly drench the bolt in prentrating oil, I have never had an issue with the front bolt, they are tight sometimes, but I have never rounded that bolt off or managed to shear it, but you need a 6 sided 15mm socket really. I have never used a breaker bar ei...

Steve B

Best thing is to ask garages t be honest. Most people that have done it, have done it themselves, and have taken their time over it. I would suspect the quickest it could be done would be a couple of hours, so at Â£40 to Â£50 a hour, plus materials you would be looking at about Â£100 to Â£150 I woul...

Steve B

Your having a alugh aren't you Steve, whatever you do DO NOT put those ugly things on your car.

Steve B

I will try and pop along to any date choosen, I will check diary next week when back at work to see when I am up North for the week.

Steve B

Pram is only used for such a short time, forget anything with a boot to be honest, if it won't go in a hatch it won't get in a boot either.

Must be a big pram, the boot isn't too small on a 200 really, have you investiagted removing the parcel shelf and storing it upright on it's side.

Steve B

Glad eveything is going OK G, never great to have an op, especially an emergency one.

No doubt you will be back up to full speed soon.

Steve B

Can't blaim him from trying to get more money by breaking it, if people were willing to pay better money, then the guy wouldn't have to break it. I was selling my very good Ti, and I got nothing from here, and in the end let it go for a hell of alot lower than what it was worth. I could have got mor...

Steve B

We do most of the body kit STX does, just cheaper

Steve B

0 Gauge is ideal, so that kit should be fine, plus 5M of it leaves plenty over for the amps.

Steve B

Ti is a fair bit faster to be honest, my old Ti was faster than my 200 with the KV6 fitted, and mine is more powerful than a ZS, and in a lighter car. Tuning on a KV6 is expensive to say the least, if you want to change cams, there is 4 of them, manifolds 2 of them etc. Ti is probably just slightly ...

Yes it is, sold to Paul, who will look after it very well.

Steve B

Hi Paul

Found your way on here I see, yes I used to be the owner of a nice 620Ti. WayneH was the other Rovertech owner that I know about.

Steve

PS As soon as I find the paperwork I will get it you to as promised.

I will double check for you, I do have some in my car, but can't remember what locating pins they came with.

Steve B

We sell these ones as well with 10% discount.

http://www.carmats4u.com/Rover/cid,122006,index.html

A little bit cheaper.

Steve B

We do autostyle mats with 10% discount, they are not the cheapest of mats, but are superb quality.
