As said, just advertise as is. New owner can run the risk or get the belts done themselves with whoever they want to do them. As long as its reflected in the price

Similar method to eddie, if I dont need to work on the rear I often just leave the rear on ramps If only using one jack sometimes have to do the front bit by bit to save the axle stands moving. If they have a good hold on the chassis leg and fit in the stand good then shouldnt see much movement

Seen alot of recovery guys reccomend the noco jump packs, halfords stock them too. Not sure if you can get anything off them with a trade card

Good to see one in standard form, I had a silver W reg VTS as my 3rd car back in 2008

Priced the garage style workshop 7mm tiles, coming in at £930 for the area I need. Bit more than I was planning unfortunately Mototile was £540 Costco around £730

Any idea where the staining has came from? Is it a fault of the tile? Thanks for all the feedback, will check out some of them

Looking for your thoughts and experiences with garage flooring. Were moving house soon and getting some flooring down in the garage is top of the list of priorities before it ends up full of stuff. Plan is to have the ph1 at home in the garage for working on so must be able to withstand a jack...

Couldnt think of any big purchases but saved £16 on gear oil so least I got some benefit out of it

Ifor williams have a register of owners, no logbook etc but just give them serial number and proof of purchase and they transfer ownership

Current setup, using the disco sport family car Best setup was my 3.2 shogun

Yeah doesnt get me when some folk say must have belts done. Just factor it into the price. I didnt get mine done before sale for that exact reason.

Threads like this make me regret just selling my standard 172 cup and it isn't even away yet! Felt it was wasted just not getting used due to other priorities and cash can be used elsewhere

Dont think anyone seems to do a mount for that one. Maybe the other 3 take most of the load and that one just absorbs some of the movement? If going solid mounts there will be minimal movement anyway

They wont weigh you when they pull you but they dont go by actual weight. They go by the plated weight. Even if your trailer is plated for 2100kg and you only have a 1000kg clio on it, your down as 2100kg

Iv just ordered one of these incase you haven't already got one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/383675931859

Ariel base isnt too bad a job, my poor reception forced me into it. Was horrendous. Just got to be careful and not prise the headlining down too far and be prepared to work restricted

Seen supercarnigel / harrys instagram story full of videos from this today

Speed fasteners or U clips Plenty places online sell them in packs with self tappers or get threaded ones for bolts

100% right, I overlooked that slightly haha Doesn't seem to be a happy medium towing with a van. They can either tow next to nothing or a decent weight. Its well worth just doing the trailer test, least you know what to expect if youve never towed or reversed with a trailer before and keeps your...

If your trying to get round it without doing trailer test then be careful if going for a larger van. Trafic with a towing capacity of 2000kg will only leave you 1500kg for trailer, car and anything else you would like to carry. Will likely involve getting trailer downplated in order to stay...

That trophy on collecting cars, goes to the effort of 158 pics but cant even remove leaves from the scuttle panel!

Main brands out there are brian james and ifor williams. Also got indespension and woodford but dont see so much of these. For a decent sized trailer in good condition expect to pay £1500-£2500 depending on age I have an ifor williams ct136hd, 13 x 6 foot and can carry 2100kg, 2700kg gross I...

I have seen alot of changes in spectator safety in the scottish rally championship over the last 10 years. Unfortunately there was a few fatalaties which drove the change Its alot more tightly controlled, more marshalls moving on people and alot of areas where there is no spectating at all...

Get some rubber pads for your axle stands, ones woth a slot cut in then. May help reduce damage

Do you have any pictures to explain? Only differences between inlet manifolds that I am aware of is the different breather system but doesn't affect the general appearance of the manifold

If you look up Derek Rothnie on facebook, he has a pms 240 engine which he built himself. Don't think he is on here

Probably just dirt and siezed onto the pipe and wont spin freely. Either cut it or just keep turning till it shears Once its cut you'll probably get a socket on it aswell and make things alot easier

Can sometimes get round it by fitting a jacking beam / box section steel to bridge the gap and give you something to work off of but again it will eventually just get in the way of something

Your still very limited with a pit especially for any suspension work or working in the wheel arch area. Pits only good for oil change and exhaust work imo. You'll still end up working on the floor alot

Cant believe no one has corrected you yet, I can't even see any grinding discs in this thread!
