Hi Doc,

I found this Number Plate on the car we bought my Stepson.
And I thought it was good I can now say I am advertising NVA.

I see them often. It seems groups of letters are given to areas first registered, NVA is a SE, I think Essex one. Now NVA 1 or 1 NVA would be worth having I suppose, but it is not my type of trip. One of my sisters has ADL 1B (adlib) and he husband ORN 8 (ornate). They are worth a lot more now that they paid for them back in the 1970's.

We got it for Sam for his graduation at St Andrews, Crikey the insurance on a 23yr Old is criminal, and with a KY post code.
So he will be driving it in Scotland and spreading the NVA word cool,

NVA - North Vietnamese Army.

56 - It's 56 years since the start of the Vietnam War.

EK - EK Commando Knife Co, USA

Are we really supposed to think that this is all just a coincidence?

If it's a turbo diesel, just remind him to idle the engine for 30 seconds before switching off, or for a couple of minutes if after a long run, steep climb etc. The oil still needs to flow for a bit through the turbo to allow it to cool down. My Citroen Xsara Picasso 2.0hdi did 166,000 miles before we passed it on to my mechanic as a runabout and there was never a problem with the turbo.

Hi Simon Thanks no it a 1400 Petrol SX nice clean engine I had the idle wheel/pulley change and fan belt all else looks good, it now has no whine and pull like my twin turbo diesel C4 special did, now I have a C4 seven seat so I can get the wheel chair in with ease. Plus nephew and niece, and grand kin. It has only done 250 miles the SX has done 60K miles.

Thanks Col

60k miles. Car will feel about as good as new and be good for another 200k miles.

Much better: no dual mass flywheel to go bang either! I miss my 2.0hdi Picasso. A C4 grand Pic is on the radar, but the CMax and Nissan Elgrand will do for now.
