Somekind of sticky wheels? Anti Gravity technology? I'm amazed they don't put it in their advertising. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Talking about these marques, makes you realise that the Midlands was home of the old British car industry - Jaguar, Rover, Land Rover, Austin, Triumph, Jensen, Reliant, plus MG in later years as well as the Rootes Group (Hillman, Humber, Sunbeam, Singer) which latterly become Chrysler Europe, then Talbot and then Peugeot, in Ryton. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 As some of you will be aware I have an old motorhome. Over 30 years old and that of course.comes with its own problems. Yesterday it failed its MOT, a few lights issues but the main ine was.the weakened leaf springs. One of the joys of this motorhome is the scarcity of parts. So thats how I have come to spend an absolute fortune this.early into november. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We put aside a grand each MOT as there is an expectation that time takes its toll. We also have a leaky window being looked at in december which will be another 500. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
