Anyone know why I can no longer post photos? All the options at the top of the window where you type are greyed out.

Did you click on the [] icon at the top of the text box? It 'toggles BB code' and disables all the options at the top of the window.

Try clicking on the 3 dots to the right of the text box, and then on the bracket symbol highlighted blueScreenshot_20260402_184542_Chrome.jpg
 
I thought this would be an appropriate section to post this coz basically wtf!
There was a Romanian chap on the FB Elgrand e51 page that the wife contacted in Derby as he was selling loads of parts. I had the tailgate off of him a couple of weeks ago for the glass for my rider. Got talking to him and he was such a nice chap! Telling me how he's going round Europe in a couple of weeks time and one way back home to Romania.
He had to get rid of everything! All his house stuff, car stuff you name it! So all the left over Elgrand stuff he posted for FREE! Yet still some people on there were posting saying he's a scammer he's a con artist blah blah blah. When it couldn't of been further from the truth. He was saying he literally couldn't give this stuff away! So.... I had it.... 😂😂👍👍
Best bit was the 50,000 mile gearbox 😲😲😂😂😂

Not touching that, it’s not on my job sheet.

Nearly there now 3 rads in, one main rad to mount a few jobs added along the way,….
Valve cover seals, plugs, oil & filter’s, rad hose kit, alt belt, aux fan…and more I’ve forgotten about.

Got a big surgery on Thursday 0730, so I was hoping to button this all up but I didn’t take into account the bank holidays - so most of my parts are not here. Ah well it can wait…

Nice job , coming together well.
I might have gone with wrinkle paint on the covers ( just my preference).
Good luck on Thursday

They came with wrinkles and Matt red.
I was going to go mad and do one of my crackle paint jobs but thankfully I didn’t.
I went overboard on the best car I’ve ever owned…I thought it was so coooool, I look at it now and think WTF. 🫣😬

Hope all goes well again mate. Was this a planned / expected follow up or has something changed / gone wrong?

It was planned - but they got a wriggle on when the last opp showed cancer when it went to the lab, so without a biopsy they assumed this one would be the same.
