:welcome:

I hope when you say - "add photos to the site" you mean of the T5 variety?

Speaking of recovery. Do you get to see many broken down T5's? In your opinion, what's the least reliable car on the road and as such keeps you chaps busy. If I was to guess - I'd say Rover 200.

I had a 740 before the red beast you see left. Never bothered with recovery. Got caught out once when the coter pin attaching the bottom of the gear lever to the push rod fell out on the M5 (on the flyover near junction 1). My knob went limp! In fact it fell over to one side. I was stuck in 5th. Took 3 hours to get someone out (cost me £60).

Thought about fixing it - I knew exactly what the problem was. I didn't have a proper jack (only one of those scissor things) so didn't fancy having a 1.5 tonnes of Volvo land on my head, as it would have almost certainly done with those big lorries blowing past!

Enjoy the forum.

:mad: How do i highlight a quote, i click quote and the whole paragraph appears in the reply box!?

also cant put a picture in my avatar because it only allows a measly 60kb (or whatever) all my phots are 300kbs and up!

Also pictures of my car (which i have lots) will be slow to come as my email only allows 1024kb.

Hi Lee,

For the quoting just delete what you dont want from inside the 2 quote marks.

The avartar can be reduced and added by using paint to reduce the size (you can email it to me if you dont have paint)
