From what I have heard AU's are alright besides how the farkers look. A bloke from work had one, it never missed a beat. He got stuff all on trade in though, the dealer only offered him $2k, so you should be able to do better. Typical Ford problem of that era is intermittent faults with the central locking.

Earthquake!

3.3 centered about 1km from where I'm sitting. A very interesting 4 seconds of fun I've had in a while. It was a big ol' vertical jolt - big enough to shift my weight up out of the seat and smash my legs into the desk top that's secured to the floor...

Do you need a car that big?

Second hand Foulcans and Dunnydores are not a bad buy - parts are readily available and they are usually cheap to fix.

Down here when that happens it's called a 'fart'.

Uh-oh. Looks like Paris has been going out without any panties on again.

You'd think someone with that much money behind them could at least afford a brazillian.

Oi you lot!...need to scrounge some info from your collective wisdom...or lack of it! Trying to fit a 7900 BB into my Look frame...drive side went in no wuckers, was able to screw it in about 3/4 of the way with me fingers, before needing the tool...non drive side went in about 2 turns before I needed the tool...& the more I screw it, the harder it seems to get...Is this usual?...should I just keep tightening the farker until fitted, or do I have a problem?....all nicely greased & the threads didn't appear to have any rough bits. What have I done wrong?

... Trying to fit a 7900 BB into my Look frame...

To ask the bleedin' obvious... have you got a mismatched set of cups with the BB? ie trying to fit an Italian threaded cup into an English BB shell.

If it was english vs italian, then he couldn't get it in at all because the threads are COMPLETELY reversed.

Hitchy, get the threads 'chased' at your local bike shop. I didn't suggest it in my original post over on BV for nothin'

 

[gplama]

too much blue lock-tite stuff on the BB cup? not that you can get that sheit off... maybe screw it into another frame first then try it again on the Look.

(maybe a steel frame, I hear they're cheap as chips and handy for hackery tasks like this).

Nope, both English
