(T) Dude! What's wrong with your car?

How much silver would you like me to cross your palm with?

as much as my rare 20p coin sold for http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=270418603449

Take the air filter box off & check the petrol pipes in the engine bay with the engine running, they age harden & eventually crack, p**sing out petrol in the process.

I only just had time to read this thread properly Thanks!

(Note to others; Ucof and I met up in a hotel carpark in Portishead to investigate how to get hot air from the non-working heater. I'm starting to forget exactly what we actually did... I seem to recall setting the valve to the 'hot' position as its plastic lever had broken...)

-Alex

Yeah, that's what we agreed to say to explain our meeting up in a car park near Briostol. Nothing to do with dogging whatsoever

(we turned the plastic disc inside the valve to "open" only. It was only recently starting to get annoying, what with the hot weather and all Do you remember the incredibly over-friendly B&Q staff member at the checkout? That still makes me crease up with laughter!)

a73uk - I'll have all look tonight, I reckon they'll be ok though. It doesn't smell if it has been running, but I suppose that is because petrol wouldn't be going through the pipes

Louis - I hope that genuinly is your auction. Those questions are really quite amusing. Shame I haven't got that much money though.

Here's the problem with my speedo!



A quick flick on the plastic usually rectifies it though

This is the driveshaft output seal leak & headlining issue...

Note the lack of oil elsewhere though! (& my shiney new wishbone)

The headlining is really irritating, as the rest of the interior is mint, everyone gets in it, looks at the dash & seats & says "its like new isnt it", then they always look up & say "oh, what happened there?"

What is the staining? Rust water?

Also, I spies me a snail! I have a new LHS wishbone too! Well... not new.. but newish

Rust water indeed.. how dare you.. not on MY Uno...

I think its had the sunroof left open a few times during rain. the pressed card & glue behind the cloth then goes like this.

Unless its some sort of catostrophic bacon sarny explosion at some point...

As getting a better one seems virtually impossible, I have been thinking about taking it out, spraying it in grey primer & then laquering it..

I was also toying with the idea of putting a second aftermarket sunroof over the rear seats...

yer that's my auction!!

Check out the Uno Turbo parts on my feedback

If you can't quite match that price, you'd best submit your best offer for the Speedo

The buyer is from the same town as Gaz BTW

Edit: Sorry I've struggled to be as witty about Unos for the past 12 years.

Re: Speedos (ew!) - Name your price. I'll name mine, and we'll meet near the middle. This is how it works:

I like my feedback left for others more though! Click here

I have started using the Random ebay feedback generator recently as I CBA to think of original feedback: http://thesurrealist.co.uk/feedback

LOL! £35 Sheckles to you then.

I'll need it to get the Ferrari to the end of the road.

Hope I can be more witty on their forum

£35??!?! For that?!?! With my dying grandmother who needs a new hip and a plane ticket to Australia to meet the son that was stolen from her who is very close to death and who also needs a new hip? Are you mad?!?! I'll offer £5 and another one of my hand drawn, limited edition pictures.

edit - does my ebay feedback link work for you? It doesn't for me, even though I'm cut and pasting from ebay directly..

So, I tried this, and couldn't even get the door opener surround off, nor could I the window winder

Alex... you in Portishead again soon?

Feedback link didn't work.

I'm still sat on my chair as the thought of a fiver didn't motivate me one bit.

Ok I fell off my chair laughing, but I'm back on it now
