Flo "Donkey"
HugoIt comes with great remorse but I have decided that rather than spending loads of dough fixing up and tuning my T5 I'm going to break it. I don't know how long it will sit as its at my mechanis garage. I'm putting the wheels on the V70 but if any of you need anything just ask.

Did you know the EU says that you can't claim that drinking water prevents dehydration. So now you know for sure what many of have known for years that the EU is run by a bunch of nutters.

Sorry I never got back earlier guys was working at Oxygen,Irelands biggest music festival and I'm just back. I'm in greatremorse to have to pull the curtains on my T5. I love her very very much but aftr speaking to my mechanic we came o a desicion that for less money than it would cost just for mot repairs I could buy another cleaner example. And as I am probably the most skint I've ever been in my life its just the wrong time.

Mate I got the mechanic to check them and he said there is a few miles left in them how ever not many and they'd probably need replacing so probably pointless for you to buy them however if you really want them I'll only charge you postage and whatever m mechanic charges me to pull them out.

My alarm never worked but I can check the horn out for you. I'm assuming thats the part that was faulty as it would have flashed hazards but no sound. Once i've checked it i'll let you know. Originally Posted by Hallsy
