The message from "BobC" contains these words:

Guy King ( snipped-for-privacy@zetnet.co.uk) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

Not quite, but they do do a 1.6 HDi - 110bhp

The message from Adrian contains these words:

Ah for the days of lazy low-stress engines like my 2.5 Audi, which only makes 115 but can do so for ever near enough.

Guy King ( snipped-for-privacy@zetnet.co.uk) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

It's called 'multiplexing' as far as I know.

Those days aren't gone. My Escort does 90 horses from 1.8 litres, and will do 70mph without argument all the way from Exeter to Edinburgh, non stop!

OK, if we want to be precise it's 1560cc, generally known as the 1.6HDi

- 110bhp. I just normally knock off the first two digits rather than make an engine seem bigger than it is... unless of course it's say

I made a bit of a messy work-around last year, having been in a hire car where the cigarette lighter was "disabled" making my GPS unusable - i`ve now got a couple of croc clips (which can attach to even bigger croc clips if required) on the end of a decent length of extra flexible silicone insulated cable, terminating into a cigarette lighter socket. No supply - not a problem now - clip direct onto the battery / any exposed live terminal :-)

(did someone mention inline fuses ? - nah, its for use in not-fully- working hire cars, who gives a damn !)

Perhaps at a push you could do similar through the bulkhead ?

The message from snipped-for-privacy@spam.vlaad.co.uk (Paul Cummins) contains these words:

Yeah, when I said "for ever" I had more in mind half a million miles, that sort of forever!

It's why I love my '96 2.6 V6 Audi. 200,000 miles on the clock and still happy. I'm off on a long trip next week...

I got a £10 GPS aerial from Maplin, stuck it by the little window at the back of the car, routed the wire down the door seals and under the drivers seat.

I use a bluetooth GPS and plugged the aerial and cigar lighter socket, then put the lot in the rear ashtray. It works really well, is discrete and you can leave it on for a few hours with the socket unplugged so nobody knows what is in there.

I've got exactly the same car, with 195,000 miles on it. Should be good for at least double that mileage.

On Fri, 12 May 2006 06:27:55 +0100, I waved a wand and this message magically appeared from Art Deco:

At least double? That's very good. I'm having to do all my own maintenance as I'm unemployed at the moment. Making choices about what I can afford to do to the car gets a bit depressing...

I'm 1/3 of the way there...

On Fri, 12 May 2006 21:19 +0100 (BST), I waved a wand and this message magically appeared from Paul Cummins:

Not really. I bought it in 1999, it already had 42k on the clock. I piled on the miles in just 7 years.
