Re: Well I tried to be normal, but.... I'm back ;)
That said, if you were to tow with it, do you think anyone would know (or care) that it wasn't type approved ? I guess it's always a concern that some eagle eyed insurance assessor notices it and tries to wriggle out of coughing up... Although I am perfectly happy that it is a safe arrangement and ...

Re: Well I tried to be normal, but.... I'm back ;)
Dave, I know you and Matthew (and others) run autos by choice, so (without wasting too much time) I was wondering why you said 'especially a TD5 auto' I have had a look around locally and it appears that there is a fairly active club that often has trials within 10 miles of me, but they have rather ...

Well I tried to be normal, but.... I'm back ;)
After I came to Jolly Jockland, I ran the RRC pickup for a few years as a second vehicle, but eventually, the rising insurance, tax and fuel costs (not to mention the non-availability of LPG) and a looming MoT failure due to corrosion, made me hang up my hat and SORN it. After it sat under a tarp fo...

Are getting home sick for Yorkshire or do you mean diesel power Roger :lol: :lol: Yorkshire was great - but where I am now is, in many ways, better. I miss some friends, some pubs and the off-roading, but I have such fantastic hill walking and mountain biking right on my doorstep that I am too busy...

Re: Mystery misfire...
Happy New Year! Hope you are all well and enjoying life in sunny Yorkshire! Just insured the RRC - what a palava! I had to fill in forms galore and include copies of MoT for the RRC, insurance certificate for the Skoda, my drivers licence and one thing they wanted (but haven't got) is full details o...

Mystery misfire...
I have a misfire and am looking for suggestions as to why - here is what I know so far: it takes the form of a complete engine cut for maybe half a second and - depending on other factors (see below) it will happen repeatedly so that the whole vehicle kangaroos unless I ease off the throttle. When i...

Can't help but feel you're spoiling it... :) Are you venturing south this weekend to Duns ? Damn! I haven't been on the forum recently and had forgotten all about it. How great that would be? But on Sunday I am visiting friend of mine who is up here on an aurora holiday who I haven't seen for nearl...

mines been fine after a new seal kit (ok the second seal kit, Bo came to the rescue again) Thanks Rod. Trouble is I only have next week (including the weekend) to do this and last time I tried I couldn't remove the drop-arm, so I am thinking that a recon unit would be best, but have read various ho...
