Gromit once managed to lock himself in a Sierra I had, while it was running. Lucky I was outside home defrosting the car so I could get the spare keys. That's impressive knowing where the door locks are on a sierra. Also knowing fords erratic central locking of the late 80s and early 90s it may wel...

Not what I'm doing but what my friend is doing at home. Investigation of rust on rear arch. The arch is wafer thin on the outside and the inner arch is about gone. Oh fuck sticks. I nor he has the knowledge and capability to weld it safely especially where the rear suspension mounts are and towing w...

A chap I know is in his 70s now and always had a transit from the 70s. Before that was a j4 van. He runs them till they collapse and then scraps them. Usually last for 10 years or so before going over the bridge. Except his last 2. He had an S plate that was reliable yet kept needing welding so he b...

If you live anywhere near Derbyshire you are welcome to come look at mine and drive it.

Jtd 1.9 engines aren't too bad. The later multijet wasn't as reliable from what I've seen in both 1.3 and 1.9. I'd still recommend a bingo or partner from early 2000s with a 2.0 HDI.
