Well I am very much hoping it is an engine mount. THen work out what is causing te brake orange light and pop some air in to get rid of the air pressure light and swap out the coroded subframe and it may just get through an MOT.

£250 for a whole new engine. @scotta how much to fit it though? That is remarkbly cheap though but not sure I can be bothered with the hassle. More likely to seel spares or repair f it it on the way out, someone will fancy it no doubt. Probably a days labour for a competent garage. The boys had the...

Drove my wife's Mini Cooper today for the first time in ages. Weird having to remember what a clutch is but the engine sounded absolutely awful, like a knocking lowdown in 5th at 55mph ish. I am sure it did not sound like that when we got it but not sure my wife would notice on her short commute as...

Dull I know but I know heehaw about the market for life insurnace. We have the mortgage protections which includes GI til 23 or so, but not a decicated life insurance and it occurs to me that I should probably do something about that. Has anyone any insights or should I Martin Lewis it?

Happy Christmas to you all.

A friend of mine has 2 Maine coon mosters. They are massve fluffy things, apparently more like dogs in that they are happy lazing about. One of them decided to use me as it's bed for most of our visit. I don't like cats particularly but I quite like this one.

So sorry to hear your news, as others have said, glad you got back in time to see him.

I am really glad you made it, sorry about everything else.

A lot of good ones this time of year!

I am sorry to hear that.

And my Po-Tay-Toh

My Dad has taken our old kitchen table and chairs out of the attic and asked me to sell them, and very kindly has said I can keep the money. Having looked online, they seem to be anywhere from 110 for a table to 2000 for the table with 4 chairs. I have a table and 2 chairs. I had no idea they were e...

I had some on a pizza in Perth the other weekend, never seen that before and it was jolly tasty.

I have had a car or wto tha would have qualified but never bothered, will be interesting to see how it goes for you though.

Well I did a first proper ultra training run, only 11 miles, but trails, some inclines and a lot of mud. I have reduced catrilidge in my right hip and it is most dipleased with me being such a dick. I have been advised a strip of K tape will help so will try that, just need to build up as much muscl...

Insurance companies are dicks. Last house insurance was only viewable through a portal to see the whole amount which annoyed me. It only went up a pound or two a month so I saved hassle and stayed put but when you get the coubling and tripling quotations Ieven if they then offer a price match I won'...

I had a tongue stud years ago, not fancying a PA though! I have a Suunto 9, having had a 5 and a couple of Garmins prior to that. With the early Gramins I wore a citizen ecodrive or Jorg Gray and just poppedon the sports wtahc for sports but I stupidly left the ecodrive in a drawer and now it doesn'...

Yes, my wife is on various running groups and it was the fact it was being caled an "ultra ultra" that caused people to raise an eyebrow.

Eddie Izzard will be laughing his socks off.
