    "I don't care if you're Cheryl Cole, you drive a Diesel. You shall not have me....."

    REALLY?

    Loud diesels can drown out other sounds in public places :D

    I drive a diesel, so no bias there.

    This girl had an arse you'd follow for miles;) she had seen me giving her the 'once over' and I'd gotten a smile:D (things are a bit different here, french women only get the hump if you dont look)
    So the sun was out, i had a nice fresh baguette under my arm,
    A smile from a pretty french girl
    (Thats as far as it goes, once they hear my tipperary accented french its game over:pac:)

    But the clatter of that yoke starting up:eek: honest ta fook Ive had diesel generators that sounded better than this.

    It totally blew away my warm fuzzy feeling.

    Hurrr hurr,
    The word itself was not used to refer to a type of bread until apparently 1920,what is now known as "baguette" may have existed well before that. In the French language, the word has long been applied to many elongated objects that are not bread, such as baguette magique (magic wand)

    Normally proper fuel sounds grand, this yoke sounded worse than my old MF 35x

    And nothing is more of a turn on than a cheeky grin from a tidy french bird
    In public anyway:D

    It was a baguette de marie, does that make it any better:p

    Hmm seems I might be getting somewhere with this oil burning lark...

    Seems these can fail on the XUD. Would co-incide with no real loss of power or pulling, but the plumes of blue smoke after starting and off boost :)

    Meh, I'll still change the engine anyway, because I can and I want my old pump back :pac:

    Car/van just bought. I'm delighted I don't want to say to much until I actually have it. But we're collecting it on Friday once we've done a cartel check on it.

    Yus :cool:

    This means I have a host of new parts like the belts, clutch, glow plugs etc and I can properly wind up the turbo a bit. I might even get installing my boos gauge finally!!! :D

    Then the Xantia engine, after I've done a few bits to it.... ;)

    I knew my old Golf was a company car and seeing this, in the colour etc. rang a bell.

    Basically the same reg, so I'd assume they were company cars together :)

    Funny though, mine had over 100k miles more than that one it on it.

    I have a 911 Petrol RC car that I got from a mate. Spent about 3 days fixing the setup on it. Then myself and another motorsport boards mod had a RC head-on collision. His buggy took off and drove up a wall resulting in the chassis being bent into a U shape :) My 911 R/C car was pretty much undamaged.

    That s2000 one couldn't be worth 600 could it?It does do 50mph... :pac:

    I have a kyosho petrol car at home Subaru impreza cover similar to the ad. I know nothing about it I used it once when I got it 3 years ago haven't used it since such a waste it cost 800 euro new although i bought it of my uncle for less. I just don't have the knowledge in them as they can be fiddely enough. I might stick it on adverts cheap and get rid of it is kyosho a good brand? I'm not sure.

    People I need advice.

    I think I've been scammed with a slow reading pump at a forecourt. The car took far more diesel than it should have, taking the filler into account and trapped air. The guage is fairly accurate (no French electric jokes please it does work well)

    Anyone I can contact about this?

    Cheers

    I estimated that the car would take about 23-24 litres max (filler, air in tank etc) it took almost 28

    Probably worth telling them because that's a fair bit out! Worth bearing in mind though that you didn't and couldn't measure it accurately unfortunately. I hope they listen to you though :)
