Wishbones? Try here http://www.buypartsby.co.uk/wishbone_displ...xt&txtmake=FORD

I don't know if it is worth it but check your insurance

I suggest having a look at the wishbone - it could either be bushes knackered or even slightly bent. All it takes is a kerbing - you can't see the damage and it doesn't matter how many times you have it tracked etc. I had a similar problem on my MK1 and this was the final thing that cured it. You can buy a wishbone nowadays for around

No... this one still has some mileage in it!! :huh:

A bit like this topic!!!!! :huh: :lol:

I recommended my mate with a Beamer to either Etyres or Costco. Costco had his Michelins at

In the words of the prophet " Who gives a Monkeys?" :P So you have to keep it in 3rd or 4th - big deal! Mine will chug along in 4th @ 30mph but as long as I don't set off the Speed Camera's I can live with it B) Seriously I wouldn't worry about it - Just stick to the speed limit in 3rd or 4th or if you are lucky maybe 5th. Hell think of all the wear & tear you are saving on 5th & 6th!! :ph34r: My Grandad used to say that if the car would do the speed he wanted he did'nt care what gear he was in - mind you he ruined a lot of cars like that - it all came of driving a tractor all day!! :huh:

Corporate Lesson 1 A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower. The doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbour. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you £800 to drop that towel." After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her £800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?" "It was Bob, the next door neighbour," she replies. "Great!" the husband says, "did he say anything about the £800 he owes me?" Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure. Corporate Lesson #2: A priest offered a lift to a nun. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her habit apart to reveal a shapely leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand onto her thigh. The nun said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her thigh again. The nun once again said, "Father, please remember Psalm 129!" The priest apologised. "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak." Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, "Go forth and seek further up, you will find glory." Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity. Corporate Lesson #3: A sales rep, an administration clerk, and their manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, "I normally grant three wishes, but as there are three of you, I'll give each of you just one wish." "Me first! Me first!" says the admin clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world." Poof! She's gone. "Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life by my side." Poof! He's gone. "OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch." Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say. Corporate Lesson #4: A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?" The crow answered: "Sure, why not?" So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it. Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing all day, you must be sitting very high up. Corporate Lesson #5: A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree" sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy." "Well, why don't you nibble on my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients.." The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree. Moral of the story: Bullsh1t might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

After numerous rounds of "We don't even know if Osama is still alive," on TV, Osama himself decided to send George Bush a letter in his own handwriting to let him know he was still in the game. Bush opened the letter and it appeared to contain a single line of coded message: 370HSSV-0773H Bush was baffled, so he e-mailed it to Condi Rice. Condi and her aides had not a clue either, so they sent it to the FBI. No one could solve it at the FBI so it went to the CIA, then to the NASA. Eventually they asked Britain's MI-6 for help. Within a minute, MI-6 cabled the White House with this reply: "Tell the President he's holding the message upside down."

A couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back and inform the other of the afterlife. Their biggest fear was that there was no afterlife. After a long life, the husband was the first to go, and true to his word he made contact. "Connie....Connie. ." "Is that you, Joe?" * *"Yes, I've come back like we agreed." "What's it like?" "Well, I get up in the morning, I have sex. I have breakfast, off to the golf course, I have sex. I bathe in the sun, and then I have sex twice. I have lunch, another romp around the golf course, then sex pretty much all afternoon. After supper, golf course again. Then have sex until late at night. The next day it starts again." Oh, Joe you surely must be in heaven." "Well, not exactly, I'm a rabbit on a golf course in Arizona."* :D

I'll second that - and he can spell! :D

Can anyone advise me. My Gal is making an annoying whistling squealing noise that definietly appears to be coming from the brakes - It stops if you touch the brake pedal but arts again immediately you let go. It doesn't appear to make any difference whether the steering is moved or when turning. The car passed it's MOT three weeks ago - no problems were noticed. I have jacked the car up removed both front wheels - the calipers appear to be moving freely there is no warpage of the discs (new about 15k miles ago). I am at a loss . Any ideas? :angry:

Never mind Mumof4 - have a look at the Tee Hee pages - I've added some more jokes to help you forget today!! :angry:

The owner of a gasoline station in Tattnall County, Georgia was trying to increase his sales, so he put up a billboard showing "FREE SEX WITH FILL-UP!" Soon a local young man, Jim filled his tank, and then asked for his free sex. The owner told him "pick a number from 1 to 10; if you pick the right number, you will get your free sex." Jim picked the number 8, and the gas station owner said, "You were close. The number was 7. Sorry, no sex this time." A week later Jim, along with his buddy Bill, pulled into the station. Jim filled his gas tank and again asked for his free sex. The station owner gave him the same story again and asked him to guess a number. This time, Jim guessed 2. The station owner said, "Sorry, the correct number was 3. You were close, but no free sex this time." As they were driving away from the gasoline station, Jim said to Bill, "I think that game is rigged, and he doesn't really give away free sex." Bill replied, "No it ain't rigged Jim. My wife won twice last week."

If at first you don't suceed............ Don't worry - do it again! :o It's no biggie - Just think that Gal's waiting for you . Practice makes perfect.

Can you give us more information? What does the temp gauge say? Do you get no heat at all? Give us a clue or two! :lol:

Is it somethijng to do with females - I've noticed that Mumof4 joined on 1st Dec - and already has 140+ posts!! :D Does she talk a lot or what!!! :D ;) ;) I am now expecting to be shot , hung drawn quartered and generally hated!! ;)

Blimey!! it'd be easier to say what was working!!! :lol:

Well being a cash rich V6 driver you can afford to buy a Beamer - no doubt you will make up the difference in cost by the amount you save on the petrol you won't need using a diesel. My Diesel goes up hills no problem and also returns an average 44mpg with the Aux heater and all. Each to his own - remember the tortoise and the hare!! :lol:

I bought a Dunlop SP 2020 215/55/16 today as I had a flat - It cost

Your'e both right! - I have a an outside temp display in the centre of the instruments along with the computer etc but I also have a display for outside temp in the CC unit - although the dash unit shows up to 1/2 a degree the CC unit shows whole degrees only. :huh:

I'll give it a try - but not until after Christmas - I am going on holiday on Thursday and not coming back until January 5th - I'll do it then. Thanks for the advice - it's gratefuly received!! :huh:

I am being driven slowly nuts by a noise coming from the discs/brake callipers. Basically as I drive along I get a whistling mild scraping type noise which dissapears if I dab the brakes but comes back again after a few minutes. I have replaced the discs & pads about 10K miles ago, I have looked at the Callipers and pads - everything seems fine - the tyres are fine the rims look OK and all in all I can't see anything obviously wrong. The only thing I can think of is that maybe the callipers need a bit of copper slip or something on them as they may not be releasing properly or something. Other than that is it possible this is a wheel bearing at all? They don't move when you rock them, there is no free play - I don't know what it is!! Can anyone help? :angry:
