I used to put archoil ar6400D-max professional in my old citroen van approx every 4000-5000 miles. It definitely used to run smoother and egr seemed to keep fairly clean. Had over 200,000 on the clock when I sold it and was still on the original turbo. My mechanic recommended it to me.

Matthew, very interested in the wheels. Any chance of some pictures. Cheers.

My club watch cost me £315 on a bracelet.

Just noticed a Christopher Ward club watch for sale on eBay. Currently bidding at £51 so somebody might get a bargain. Can't get link to work but just search Christopher Ward and it will come up. Sale nothing to do with me, I do have one of these but like it too much to sell.

Hi Chris YHM Anthony

Chris, are they the KN Minators as sold by Caterham. If yes, and you will still accept £70, then I will take them if still available. Anthony

I have a VX1600 - chassis no. 22251 (Beaulieu no 17).

You have said that your insurers will not pay for the alternative accommodation as your property is not a health hazard. Most insurance policies provide cover for "reasonable alternative accommodation costs if the insured property is uninhabitable". Being a health hazard and uninhabitable are not the same. It may pay you to check the exact wording of your policy and remind the insurers of this. I have dealt with many insuance claims for fire and smoke/soot contamination and have only refused accommodation costs where the contamination is light. Insurers use specialist fire restoration companies and are usually guided by them. If, in their opinion, a property is uninhabitable then insurers should accept what they say - that is what they pay them for. As far as a loss assessor is concerned, check what their fees are before signing anything if you go down this route. You could end up being out of pocket. If a Loss Adjuster is involved, I would have a friendly chat to them and explain the position. It may be better to have them re-visit so you can point out your concerns. Most Loss Adjusters are quite friendly - well I am anyway.
