If this is legal, it is what I shall do. I quite like the look of them.

The whole point of so-called 'fog' lights is that they are aimed low, and have a very flat beam that doesn't reflect back in the fog.... So having them on with headlamps completely defeats the purpose.... They can only be used in Fog or Falling Snow.... Since we get very little fog these days (comp...

I was gifted a pair of fog lights by a friend last year. They're currently wired to their own discrete circuit, which takes power straight from a fuse. What is the condition in which they should be able to be turned on? My assumption would be with dipped beam - so the feed for the lights should come...

Oh you flatter me... Here we are stopped on the M62 after it blew We also lost a core plug at the same time, which we didn't realise until refilling the rad.

Here's my latest one for my upcoming rewire![frame][/frame]

I'll be shortly putting Charlie through my first MOT with her.

Does anyone have any top tips or a list of things they do before taking the car in? I've not done this before with a Minor or any other car, and want to make sure she's fully prepped before even booking the test!

Ever watch the news on ITV? None of the studio is real, only the desk!

Top tip: Literally nothing you see on TV is real.

What programmes am I watching?----- it seems obligatory to have both arms full of tattoos, wear sleeveless vests, ear rings, be bald or have a pony tail and some sort of head band, be a little over weight, have a grey foomanchoo tash and goatie beard, waddle when walking and wear black tee shirts t...

Have one SOMEWHERE..much smaller writing on it.

Stuck to the inside n/s top of windscreen...text showing INSIDE, obviously.

Interesting. Do post it up if you manage to find it!

That's like....10" ?

Good to have a supplier of "Running-In" stickers for those restoring vehicles to "as new" condition. Anyone have a genuine one which can be copied? I've just drawn up this one from one I found with a Google search. Can be produced in any size, I'd suggest 25cm ish is probably th...

Their website is a bit ropey though - I don't know whether they're still going.
