Re: Limited Mileage Insurance requires annual MOT?
As I retired insurance company manager and subsequently broker, I can, hopefully, comment with a bit of authority. In short, if in doubt, give your insurer as much info as you can.....even if they don't ask for it! A simple email stating your speedo reading, when renewing your policy, is then record...

Re: How much fun?!?!??
Not exactly a Moggy tale but back in the 70s I owned a Renault 12TS (still in the top 3 of my all-time favourite cars - Oh how I loved and cherished that car.......sighs wistfully). Snow descended rapidly and unexpectedly one day and the only way to get home from work, was to get up a long steep hil...

Re: First Minor. Daily drive - winter advice request
So I brought a new electronic unit to carry with the Coil. I've got a slight variation of that, Berni. Shortly prior to my annual visit to the Classic Car Show at the NEC this year, I had a bit of a sort out in the boot to try and find what was banging every time I went over a speed bump or similar...

Re: Lonely Mog
I've no idea whether it's true or not - probably is, even though it does seem very odd but it's a story that keeps getting 'recycled' every few months!
It might have been true when I first saw it about a couple of years ago, I think........ but who knows now?

Re: Window weather strips
Pretty much what S/P said. From memory, it's necessary to remove the window stops, so that the glass drops well below the door top when fully wound down. You don't mention if it's a 4 door if you're working on. If so, the rear doors are a bit trickier than the fronts, as the glass doesn't wind down ...

Re: Spotted today.
Ok, not spotted today exactly but rather last Sunday, while we were on holiday in the Yorkshire Dales. In Grassington my wife and me stumbled across a '40s weekend' with lots of period stuff about (wartime memorabilia, dancing, music etc.) plus a small collection of classic cars and commercials........

Re: Moggy traveller seat blocks
I can't say that I've noticed my blocks moving whilst actually on the move.....but I supposed they must have done, as quite often when I used to get back in the car I noticed that the seat had tipped back slightly again. I say 'used to' as I have now bound some black electrical tape around the seat ...

Re: Bargain tyres?
I'm no tyre expert by any means but by common consent, there is certainly a view that 10 years is about the limit before potentially dangerous and unseen degradation can take place. A quick 'Google' search throws up all manner of websites on this subject. Here are just a couple:- https://www.kwik-fi...

Re: Bargain tyres?
My car, when I bought it about 4 years ago had a set of Firestones on, all with loads of tread BUT when I started looking into it I found that Firestones of my particular tyre size (just on standard rims btw) hadn't been imported into the UK for over 20 years!! I tried to 'carbon date' the age of th...

Re: What's it worth?
I like the idea of a 'What's it worth?' section but, at best, it could only ever be a 'guide price' area. As you have identified, Chief, it's all to do with supply and demand. At any auction anywhere in the world, if 2 or 3 people really want a particular lot, the price paid is likely to go through ...

Re: Ebay
These listings are out and out scams. Don't touch 'em with an extended barge pole! :D They appear and reappear every week or so. Why eBay can't take them down immediately is beyond me. As I said in a similar post some time ago, a pal of mine needed to sell his beehive + bees, which he put on eBay qu...

Re: Do you guys feel safe driving your Moggy??
There's a thread running elsewhere on here about recent Highway Code changes on which I have posted about being a cyclist, as well as a motorist. One thing I can say for certain is that I feel a lot safer in my Moggy than I do on my bike! That's not to say I feel particularly unsafe when cycling, be...

Re: highway code
For me, absolutely nothing has changed with these new HC rules.

When I'm a pedestrian wanting to cross the road, I will look...

I think I'm very much with you, Berni. Soc Med (by that I mean F/B, as it's the only one I have any association with) and forums like this, are really 2 different beasts. F/B is great for stuff of general interest and pointing people in the right direction to try and solve a problem but, as you say,...

At the risk of sounding repetitious, I can only but agree with the sentiments expressed by everyone else on this particular thread. If it's any consolation, my son was a mod on a 'modern' car forum, which had a much younger age demographic than I suspect this one has and he too got flak from members...
