Thread: Urgent - Rusty, Rounded Nut Removal??
Post: RE: Urgent - Rusty, Rounded Nut Removal??
Plus gas (http://www.amazon.co.uk/English-Abrasives-802-10-Plusgas-Aerosol/dp/B0001P02RK) can work a treat, at least before the bolt is rounded off. Way better than wd40. |

I'm going to start a placement in Bristol for 4 months soon, I'll still be renting a house in Plymouth and returning on the weekends. Do I need to tell the insurance company? |

Thread: URGENT ignition barrel
Post: RE: URGENT ignition barrel
Have you turned the steering wheel at all? If the steering lock engages you have to turn the wheel a bit for the key to turn all the way. It should still come out easily mind. |

Nasty. Imagine these (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PEUGEOT-EXPERT-1-9-T-D-1997-2003-INJECTOR-PIPES-/171426602440?_trksid=p2054897.l4275) would fit but you might be able to get cheaper on the forum. |

Thread: Second car insurance question

I'm 25, I got insurance within days of passing and the insurance confirmed I had the benefit due to age. It infuriated my 24 year old housemate who can't despite having 7 years experience :D |

I lowered the gearbox out the bottom as it didn't seem practical to lift it out the top, hence dropping the subframe. Maybe there... |

I don't understand how there are still so many morris minors on the road, they seem really popular in the south west. Guy at work has one as his daily, so rusty. Engines are easy to rebuild i guess. |

It would be good to know if it's a few degrees out, can't adjust it but can always replace the rear axle if really bad. |
