I did All the cars I showed a interest in are 3 counties away...

Why do peeps always seem to loose their cars logbook?

It would not bother me one little bit if he was in my car for the journey. Being as deaf as a post I would not hear him.

Wife can't drive. .......Daughter on 12 hour shifts till next Thursday.......brother in law, would want £50 for fuel and about the same for his time.... I will hang off on the hope something local ish turns up, got till March when my insurance expires...

Yeh the Dacia would make that journey easily, but if! I purchased the car, how would I get it back here?

Has some snow here during the night, not very much, just a dusting. Looking on Marketplace for a new (to me) car, all the decent ones are 80 miles away, or further, bugger all or sale locally. Got one to (possibly) view tomorrow, but that one is in Pontefract.... 55 miles away.

The new battery seems to have cured my cars starting whoes!.... fired up 1st time after a frosty night, not cured the fuel guage though. yesterday it ready totally full, this morning empty! fuel warning light is not on though. I may go and look at a car on Sunday, if it is still there, and it is not raining, need to look under the car, not laying on the rain soaked ground, need a accomplice to go with me too, to listen for bangs, rattles or a noisy engine.

I expect I would end up with this.

If I could afford a much newer one I would have another, it has been a good car for 10 years, but the mechanicals, and other things are wearing out, at the same time. I have my eye on a Chevy.

Bought a new battery, installed it, and it fired up straight away. And the fuel gauge now reads that tank is absolutely full, which I know it ain't. but at least it is running. Going to start the search for a car replacement at the weekend..

Been out (got pissed wet through) and tried to start the car, Click..Click..Click. Put car battery charger on (basic charger) and it lights up that battery is charged, so I put my scoot charger on and it shows that is not charged, so I am going to try a new battery, just hope the scoot charger puts enough in battery to start the car, it's a bloody long walk to the car spare shop, and it's still pissing down.

Yes there is, I put £30 of the finest E10 in the tank the day before I looked at the tank sender. I did have trouble with a sensor in the past, car would start OK, but would not pull from slow speed.

It has a good spark on each spark plug.... and good compression too...

Can't remember the last time I rode mine, i know it was last year.

Yes I cleaned the multi plug on the tank and reinstalled it, took the plugs out, there is a spark, and there is a smell of petrol when I crank it over, but will still not start. In recent weeks I have reversed onto the road, turned car off, then i came out a couple of minutes later and it took quite a bit of cranking to get it to start. Will have another look tomorrow, hope the weather plays ball.
