I personally wouldn't bother telling my insurance about this as its kind of difficult to categorise this mod. All my other mods are declared though, so not sure where I'd stand, or whether others have declared it?!
The smell for me usually occurrs if i turn the aircon off, having had it switched on for 10 mins or more. Have you switched it on to demist your windows when raining, and then switched it back off again?
Very funny.
MODS - please can we have a 10-page rule for dealing with trolls rather than counting them down from 3? All the fun is over too quickly when infact, they are the most entertaining threads.
My bro did up an old 60's land rover about 4 years ago. Spent £1500 on the car plus £4k doing it up and then sold it for £6k 2 years later, so got some enjoyment and didn't lose any money in the long run. He's currently 3/4 of the way through rebuilding a triumph stag now - he says they're very easy to work on and he's really enjoyed it. Not my cup of tea though.
No probs for me on iPad either. A useful iPad tip to restart an app is to double-press the home button to bring up your open apps, hold your finger on the app you want to restart until it wobbles, and then delete it.
+1 on all of the above.
Another option could be an e36 bmw. I've had several of these and they're easy to work on, and parts are cheap.
I work in Knutsford by the way... i've literally just come back from the town center in my zed.
