I work with a Nepalese guy, an Italian, a German, a Lithuanian, an Irishman, an Englishman, a Kiwi and lots of Australians! :lol: When I lived in the UK my neighbours were Eastern European and they both worked their asses off and were genuinely nice people. Enough scummy dole bludging white people i...

I'd only buy a FPR or HSV V8 if I was going to the hassle of importing. Driven the SV6 Commodores several times, not a bad steer, not as quick as expected for a 3.6 V6 but it's obviously not slow. Had a drive of the G6E which is Fords luxury version of the XR6, 4l V6 in those iirc. I'd note that the...

Any type B torsen will fit, just requires changing the crown wheel/speedo ring to suit.

Berger

It was cheaper than when I left the UK last time I was back.

Bloody whinging poms!

Prices fluctuate like crazy here, increased by 0.20c per litre between going on holiday and coming back. People just stfu and get on with life, better things to do than worry about the cost of fuel.

i work on landrovers every day and for what you want it for etc i would try to get the older ones 300tdi etc as long as they have no rust there fine the newer ones are temperamental esp with the electrics and air suspension if you want a td5 try to buy one with the air suspension removed and spring...

No landrover has a locking axle diff from the factory

They are available as aftermarket though as I have seen them advertised. ARB make loads of 4x4 upgrades over here, not sure if they exist in the UK.

Berger

The series 2 disco does not have a lever for the centre diff Its permanent 4wd and the traction control sorts the rest out Depends what your doing really. The auto's should have a viscous coupling and no centre diff but im not 100% actually I'm meaning to lock the axle left/right, so if one wheel h...

Berger

Guessing the climate there means discoverys are not rust buckets? I would prefer a td5 because of the extra power and general driveability (2000-2005 Series 2) The wheel bearings, fuel pump, cylinder head problems, injectors can be expensive. Changing the rear air bags or fitting coil springs to th...

Berger

Well, having only one car is becoming a bit of a PITA. I'd like to buy another car, makes sense to have something with some off road capability living out in the country, probably with bull bars fitted incase of hitting a roo, the extra height and 4wd incase the roads flood etc. I'll use it for goin...

Berger

Can I ask what you have been offered?

Berger

Can't see an MOT or Tax date which would help

Berger

I just manned up.

Kept it clean and running well but scuffs and stone chips are battle scars.

I have a road bike for looking nice

Berger

Depends if you are looking at it from a financial point of view or not tbh.

It seems that you do it because you enjoy it more than anything else, so long as you can cover costs and perhaps make a moderate profit of a few hundred then that would be the way I would go.

Berger

I'm with Clydesdale Bank, they hate me :( Btw Mike, who's the baldy fool in your avatar lol Looks like Pastor Maldonado to me! My experience with Santander is they are a bunch of muppets. Took them nearly three weeks to close my account because they kept tinky winky it up. I phoned up asked to clos...

Berger

I had 4 people with a full boot of camping gear in my 220 GSI once.

Apart from the lowered suspension and impaired performance with the weight in the boot it was pretty good.

Berger

The engine mounts are good, worth having the polybushed engine stabiliser arms to go with them.

Berger

Been watching the Tour De France and felt inspired? Will be very popular this year with Britain doing well in that, and I expect the Olympics too. I bought a mountain bike a couple of years ago, rode it a few times, left it then 9 months later picked it up and really enjoyed it. Moved over to Austra...

Berger

Personally for me if I was buying for its originality the none OE wheels and if the OE ones are resprayed would reduce the amount I would pay for it. Also, seems a little odd that the head gasket would be changed for no reason? Personally I would aim for £1995 and settle for £1750+ Looks a lovely ca...

Berger

£160 for all 4?

Depend how bad the kerbing is.

Hey all, I'm really looking forward to a track day I'm booked on this coming Monday (14th May) Donington Park in my MG ZS 180. Got some Yellow Stuff EBC front pads fitted so hopefully they wont fade.

I've got a HP Pavilion DV6. Been using it daily for 6 months, no problems. I use an external mouse as touchpads are too slow. Only gripe is battery life, but its a fairly powerful machine (i7), always going to be a trade off there. ATi graphics so no Nvidia issues :lol: Also have a Samsung Netbook w...

Anyone got any big companies that have had a nasty fall recently? A couple ive found that ive invested in are PZ cussons (3.70+ down to 2.95 currently 3.13 plus an outside shot unilever could buy them with a considerable return) and a fav of mine, RBS (Down from 4.00 to 0.20 currently 0.25) I made ...

If it comes as a complete engine with fannymoulds, turbo etc then I think thats cheap but realistic, perhaps price slightly higher at 1500 then room for haggling. A new clutch is 200, a new T25 will be a few hundred too, then the engine in new condition. To build up a used forged engine would be a ...

Oh, its just V6 and V8 Aussie muscle cars

Berger

You'll probably have to actively claim this back. But yeah, you're thinking is correct. They assume same salary/tax code for the tax year and calculate your dues that way. So if you only work for half a year you'll have over-paid tax and be due some back. I phoned them up, without my P45 they can't...

Berger

How are you getting these rebates, does it get processed automatically after your employer completes your P60 end of year forms? I'm sure I should be due some, as I was paying tax and NI as usual from April until the start of October and then moved to Aus. I should recieve the tax free threshold on ...

Berger

We have a Commodore Ute at work, 3.5 V6 Auto, 355km on the clock at the moment, unsure on age, but less than 10 years as the companys not that old!

Think about the fuel costs for that many KM!
