Hi Dan. What you describe regarding the VATS is exactly what my guy has done. He is a pretty smart guy. BMW trained mechanic and he currently works for Rolls Royce. My really lucky day when he moved next door to me.

Hi guys, hope you are all well. Had problems with the Corvette as follows. Vats system kicked in so car wouldnt start. My neighbour solved the issue by over-riding the system . Then bought a set of Heddman hedders. Old headers nackered. Got my neighbour to fit them for me. Ran into a problem...

When they start to go wrong, they are a right pain. I have a reconditiond one done by a specialist in the USA, exchange cost £460. They are BATEE. they do kits and parts to self carry out repairs but I went for broke and exchanged the unit. I watched Wheeler Dealers some years ago when they did...

Hi Dan. Going to get some jobs done on the C4. I have 2 new next door neighbours. One is a total prick and the other one is a great guy, and a car man. He has an early Skyline which is undergoing major restoration. His daily driver is a AUDI RS4. Awsome tool. The real bonus is, he is a BMW...

Hi Dan, i'm still about. C4 dead at the moment, electrical fault. I have a recon dash module ready to fit and a new set of Hedman hedders, which are being sand blasted ready for painting. I hope you are all keeping safe and well in these scary times. Hope to see you soon when better times...

Hi. I had an accident with my Mondeo ST. Does any one know of a body shop in the Portsmouth area who could help me out?. My insurance want to write the car of, but that isnt going to happen. THey have offered me purchase of the car which is a stupid sum. If I buy back, the car will need to have...

Yes we had a great time Dan. Yes we would go back in spite of difficulties landing at Funchal airport. On the day we went we and close to 20 other planes could not land due to crosswinds. We were diverted to Porto Santos and after a 6 hour wait we were taken to Madeira by ferry and we arrived at...

Madiera car show. Friends we were with took loads of pictures which he was going to put on a memory stick and send to me. It seems he has deleted all the holiday pictures he had by mistake. He has taken his camera to an expert friend to see if they can be recovered. I hope it happens.

I met Trevor Parkyn yesterday. He is co-owner of Raltech Finishers Ltd based in Fitzherbert Spur, Farlington. Really helpful guy. Look at their website. He is going to powder-coat our cast aluminium garden table and chairs. They take on coatings to wheels, engine covers and much more . Cam...

Hi Guys. Just spent my 75th birthday in Madeira. Saw a great parade of cars there on Sunday. Lots of lovely old Mercs , VWs and a really mint Facel Vega. Lots of Vespas and assorted motor cycles. Many of them new to me. Some old Beemers and a few mint M Gs.

We celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary on the 10th of March and my wife's 70th birthday on the 4th of March. My 75th birthday is close. We will be in Madeira for that one with old friends from Scotland.

That looks like the one. WOW, the new price has halved since he bought it.
