How about the Sir Walter Tyrrell as a meeting point. Slap bang between Southampton and bournemouth on the A31. A family friendly pub. good food and best of all a massive car park (and they dont mind groups). Used to go there for bike meets. Im good for pretty much any Sat or Sun. If someone has an i...

Chequer plate is a specific pattern but has become a generic name for patterned walkway plate. look on tinterweb for companies like aalco or rightons. They will show images of what's available. When you find what you want look to see if there is metalsupermarket near you. They will cut to size what ...

Re: advice re running costs wanted
Exactly. Insurance is personal and Im sure others will say they pay less and others will ask how its so cheap.

another scan tool question.
thought of getting a code reader ( have seen plenty on fleabay) but after just reading a post about one a moment ago it has given me second thoughts.
has anyone brought one, and to what outcome. any reccomendations on ones to buy or avoid.
thanks for looking

if the car is currently on the road, you will need the tax reminder, which usually comes 3 weeks before your current tax expires. MOT and insurance. if the car has been declared SORN you need MOT cert, V5 and insurance cert but the post office will tax it from THAT day ( for instance if you did it t...
