The small tank at the left hand (from the front) side of the engine compartment battery is the heater tanl make sure thast it has got a decent anti-freeze mix as there is no other heat source to stop it freezing when not in use. Sometimes the heater fails to ignite. usually if you give it another ch...

Does anybody want to buy a MkII Berlingo Electrique? Not mine, I hasten to add, for I am in love with my little van. It is identical to mine with 18,000 miles on the clock, but no windows in the side. The owner is terrified of it & has listened to so many people who have frightened him with tale...

I'm a member of a specialist club for a particular historic rifle. The forum has always been for paid up members only. The rest of the site being open to anyone. It worked very well & there was always a healthy activity thereon. However, to streamline the whole thing & to make specialised se...

Message for Decker who enquired as to my whereabouts. I did reply but cannot now see it on the forum pages. So here it is again. I'm in Lichfield, Staffs WS13 6EL. Should you or indeed anyone else reading this be in the area, please feel free to pop in. Charging plug & full workshop available &a...

qdos. I made the comment because I felt it was innapropriate for a non member to aim critiscism at a club/group for which they stated that they could not be bothered to pay to support. It has nothing to do with welcoming other "paid" members. It is & always has been, much easier to cri...

Kelvins comments are both constructive & I fear self explanatory. I both understand & respect his feelings. I would dearly love to poke my head over the parapet & volunteer for the post of editor, for I am sure that I have the right attitude, (at the moment!) but fear that I would not ha...

This might bring wrath down on my head. Is it right for non members to critiscise what is going on? If one cannot be bothered to cough up £15.00 to be a member, then I would respectfully suggest, that one should keep ones own opinions out of these forum pages. I am in a Rifle Club which has it's ...

Thanks Chris, I'd like to do this. I know it is on record somewhere, but to save me looking, can you kindly give location & times for the meeting. I think I'd like to be there if it is constitutionally allowed. If not, what is the form for putting forward a proposal/suggestion/idea. chatwindows.

Can we not put our own prejudices behind us & strive to get ourselves out of this dead end backwater. The past will never be here again, so leave it where it is. The important thing now, is to rescue the society from eating itself through personal differences. It's a sad fact of the human psyche...

I believe that this is indeed a healthy thread to discuss in relation to the magazine. I am more sure than ever now, that there is a future for it. A supplement for club owners is a good idea, but messy to organise. A club chapter might be easier. It gives outsiders an opportunity to see how we are ...
