Funny

Hi all. Been a long time since i posted. I'm still alive. Was looking through ebay and saw an advert from someone who was misselling a Volvo C70T as a T5. I had a look and saw he was also selling an 800. "With The Very Desirable 2.5 Engine And Automatic Gearbox." I had to giggle. I looked at his oth...

827 Manual Coupe

I had an email from a friend in the trade today. He remembered I liked 800s and said would I be interested in it. All I know is that it's a silver 827 manual coupe, grey leather interior with a "few rust spots". I have no more info. If anyone's after one, let me have your email address and I'll pass...

Re: They're breeding

Sorry to hear about this Chris. Never known that happen to any of the 5 cylinder lumps. T5s are usually driven like they were stolen and still get to 200k+ miles.

Re: Anyone ever accepted IBAN payment?

I know this is a while since the OP but someone might find it useful. We accept Iban and bacs payments, sometimes for very large payments. It's perfectly secure from our experience if you are receiving the payment . On advice of our bank, we allow an extra day after the payment has shown as cleared ...

Re: Mini Coupe

I saw this a long time ago... My business partner works for them. I hate the mini with a vengeance. The original mini was a great idea, cheap, tiny outside, big enough for 4 inside, no frills. The current mini is HUGE outside and smaller inside than the original, full of tech and quite expensive. As...

Re: How to Earn Extra Cash?

Dan, Send me a message by clicking the image then "contact us" (it may be months before I read a pm). I have an idea for you, car related, tried, tested, moral, legal and easy... I'd just not like to share it on the whole of the interweb. I have discussed it with a friend who fell on hard times and ...

Got excited when I saw the Vitesse. In the cold light of day, it's not for me though.

Re: Anyone here a keen photographer?

After reading all the advice, I decided to try for a Canon 400d. I was all set for a 350d until reading Vard's comments about the screen. I watched a load of eBay auctions end for more than I wanted to spend and eventually bought a "cosmetically damaged" 400d with a 18-55 lens from MPB Photographic ...

Re: Rover 800 Turbo diesel 825 SDI 2.5 1998 saloon

Well found Mr Moss!

I remember me and my mate trying to repair the original a few years back and while compressing the spring the damn thing exploded out of the vice, missed me by an inch and actually put a dent in his van.

Re: Anyone here a keen photographer?

Many thanks Vard and Gordon (again).

I think I now how all the info I need to make an informed purchase.

Bizarre really that this was the only place I could get decent advice on a camera!

Anyway, I'm most grateful....

Look out for a "What am I doing wrong with my SLR?" thread soon. :lol:
