Re: HI from Holland

Congrats for both your cars. Good choice.

Very good. It's nearly what the Japanese call an 'haiku'. :clapping

Indeed John and mind that the same crooks are doing the import to the mainland from countries outside, so beware... :wink3

Nearly robbed by a company of rogues

I'll try to make short a too long story. At one moment I'd thought I need a starter motor for my 2002 25 1.4. Then I ordered one from DMGRS as usual. Only problem as you know I live in France: the starter motor was worth £62 but the carrier price all in all was £25 . Quite a hefty price to cross the...

Re: Stuck Window - Help

I'd never thought it might have been the switch but who knows? I bought 2 good used mechanisms on Ebay and I did the job myself with the he...

Battery charger repair mode

A while ago when firing up the missus' 25 for the first time I heard the dreadful "click click click". I was very surprised. The VARTA battery wasn't that old. But after a close exam in the 25 book, it appeared that it had been fitted on the 1st of November 2019. Hence 5 years and half. No...
