Not so much trouble StuntmanMike, more that it was a temporary fix filling it, the plan has always been to have a zirconium overlay but at £500 i wanted a couple of months to get the money side sorted, i'd rather pay for it out right than pay by credit card, i can claim a percentage of it back through my benefits package but just in case there's a problem i'd rather have the money in place,

Been meaning to ask Magoo, why are you offloading so much of your stuff? Is there a grand plan afoot?

Yesterday we got a letter from the solicitor handling the probate for MIL, Hampshire County council demanding that we pay the £80.64 outstanding on MIL's care or they'll start adding interest, we haven't even got probate yet, yes we have access to estate funds but we thought that disbursements weren't due from the estate until probate was granted?!? Starting to wonder exactly what we're paying this solicitor for!!! grumpy

Morning all.

glenrobbo said:
Hmmm. I find your reference to that old thread rather intriguing, pequod.

Do you also happen to have a TVR S Series?

And nope, no breakdowns. Properly cared-for TVRs are not as unreliable as BMWs and the like.

As for fires, I know of quite a few cars (of various makes) that have gone up in flames because the fuel lines have been degraded by the aggresive properties of bio-ethanol fuel.
It is a worrying state of affairs for owners of older cars.
Indeed I do, and am the proud custodian of an S3c (with S4 bonnet no less)!

I was led to believe it was compulsory to own, or at least had previously owned, a TVR of some description in order to qualify for membership of PH?

In other news, the Cocker is passing blood...

As already suggested, either a pack of plain crisps and some paprika, beat some out of Gary Linaker, succumb to Pringles, or pay the extortionate price, but whatever you do, DON'T ASK FRANK at the B&L!!!!!

Oh, BTW, I'm sorry, I forgot.

Good morning everybody.

It's very misty here oop norf, but at least it's not raining.

Poor doggies aren't having much luck on here lately.

Best wishes to Agent M, Snoop Dog and Jo(e) Cocker for speedy recoveries.

Pequod, can you show us a pic of your P&J?

I mean your S3C, not your... Well, you know. yikes

Have you had it long? Have you been to any S Club Heaven or joined in any S Club Eurotours?

The ( one and only) review does not inspire much confidence:

Just one pack supplied for the price of 3 frown

The review is wrong. They are outrageously addictive and best sampled after a long alpine walk alongside a glass of Cardinal beer.

One of the reasons i specifically wanted a 1.8TDCi was the fact that they don't have a DPF whereas the 1.6 and 2.0 do!!!

The review damned the supplier, not the product.
3 packets ordered and paid for, one packet supplied:

Deemed by supplier to be order completed.

Awful!
That's bloody expensive, even taking Swiss postal charges into account.
