    I used a solar trickle charger for a while - while it worked.... Certainly the cheaper ones are not up to being exposed to the elements and perhaps only work for any length of time behind a windscreen and under a roof. Disconnecting the battery to remove the drain on it when you leave the car would probably be a good first measure.

    Hi Steve, Blatmail me your email and I'll take some decent pics and email you them over the weekend. Thanks, Jon

    Sorry, all my references are to the X-flow. There aren't many off the shelf solutions for this on the good old Ford Kent unfortunately....

    Didn't take in many details... I was half asleep in the tintop but was surprised to see a Caterham coming towards me in the Bournemouth direction. Jon

    A friend of mine is looking for a smallish (focus size or smaller) commuting car for under £3k. He would prefer something newer, comfortable and not intergalactic mileage. I think the likes of the mk2 Nissan Almera fit the bill (he's no enthusiast!)as their lack of trendiness or image means they're good value if a little rare. WHY?! Jon
  14. New Cat
    I'd take the credit if I were you Jason, IMHO the lack of demand for 14" wheels or ZV3 tyres means they won't fetch anything like that secondhand. Having said that, I find 14" wheels generally nicer on the road (with Yoko A021R tyres on) so maybe its worth having them for touring and investing in a set of 13" for hooning and trackdays? I'd still change the tyres though...

    Thanks Richard, I'd already printed myself a copy of that diagram. What is meant by "dressing" of the wing? Do you use nylon bolts with your rawlnuts?
  16. New Cat
    Thanks guys, I've ordered some rawlnuts from Eliseparts and some M5 screws, nuts and washers from modelfixings.com (seem very competitive). I did this after reading a few horror stories about the damage that can be done when rawlnuts rip out - hopefully the nylon bolts will break first! Has anyone successfully used rawlnuts with nylon bolts? Jon
  17. New Cat
    I have removed the remains of one of my rear wings and have found all 3 rivnuts have pulled out and made the skin holes a little bigger. Reading old threads it seems maybe rawnuts may be the best replacement? Please can you advise me as to what to order assuming I can get the holes back to little bigger than standard size and where to get them from (speedy delivery would be very helpful). Many thanks, Jon 1994 1.7 Supersprint De-dion X-Flow. Yellow with black cycle wings - Now with Megajolt !

    Grab yourself a bargain Mercedes 230CE Coupe Auto on ebay here Auction ends at 8.04pm Tommorow. Good luck! Jon
  19. New Cat
    Thanks very much for the tip Julian, I'll try to give them a call tommorow. Have to say their cars look rather out of this car's league with some W124 coupes at asking prices of up to £17k!!! (gorgeous though). Maybe they'll know someone who might be interested though, its far from perfect but a pretty well maintained car.

    New lower price for Blatchatters.....see top posting

    Sale ends tommorow Ebay item number 290194873365

    The original 'buyer' got himself bargain of the year and then proceeded to mess me around on 4 separate occasions. He refused to firm up any arrangements to collect the car and then consistently cancelled plans to pick the car up at short notice - after I'd cancelled other plans. I told him he had run out of chances and have filed an unpaid item dispute - he has accepted this. If he'd paid top dollar I might of been more understanding, but I didn't sell a car for a pittance to be messed around. Hopefully this time it will go to a Blatchatter
