The grammar Nazi in me is tempted to identify that you ignored your own proscribed rule by precising these generic OP examples in 1 sentance, not 2. just saying like.

Our local motor factor actually suggested looking on Ebay for the additive, whilst nodding towards a litre container brought in special at £80.00 + VAT, which he said treated either 1000 litres or 1000 gallons.

A compressor is one tool that I dont know how I managed withou(but I did for about 20 years!) Apart from the odd tyre inflation I exclusively use it with a snozzle to blow stuff off and outta stuff. But I need a smaller one since the 100l takes to long to build pressure for a wee fiddlefart of a job.

In a plastic tank, on a 1989 G Wagen, which is kept brimmed with diesel cos the fuel guage does not work. Copious copious quantities of it too, but no water that I could see any evidence of, though perhaps the microbes "eat" the limited water. Only my second experience in a life time of driving older diesel vechicles and tractors. The other occassion was a one-off in the 1984 DB, back 10 or 15 year ago, where I simply cleaned the gauze in the lift pump and changed the filters and it never has re-occured.

I too always wondered, "why 56 mph". btw using the Rav4 gives me 50mpg on a 50+50 mile run to Belfast and back running at 50 and 60. or 30mpg if towing the heavy built but empty cage sided DK 3500Kg trailer there and loaded with mostly well tramped in bushes back again.

Ow many oles?

I would however suggest, and rather strongly, that the dice are now decidedly unfairly stacked against the bright children from the fee paying schools, in favour of the genuinely less bright, especially if female/lesbian/black/disabled/alphabet soup types getting to attend the elite universities. Our PSNI watered down the entrance standards, but only for woman and RC's while blocking better male candidates from a Protestant background, while also fastracking promotion for those favoured applicants up past better males with Protestant backgrounds. And the PSNI is now a shambles. All these "positive" discrimination schemes do is cause division, mistrust and envy. Where even if a lesbian/disabled/woman was actually the best candidate we all think, "hmmm, I know why she got that job or promotition". I rather successfully wound up our female HR officer by saying that we all discriminate, in our choice of where we live, the cars we drive, did she drive a Skoda, or cough cough, perhaps a BMW, etc etc etc.

2 likely options, either she fell in the river as the Police have suggested, or the Police have a notion of foul play and put the "fell in" story out so as to attempt to trick the perp into relaxing and revealing something. As they have successfully done in other cases, or so I understand. I do feel for the children, obviously.

Thank you for your honest account of how simply these dreadful accidents happen. Tiredness and or stress and distraction is absolutely deadly when working with machinery. I have seen myself do stupid stuff, like I akinda realize what I am doing, but continue to do it, in some kind of disembodied way. Marcus

Odd, I saw it, but was unaware I was a member🤗anyway it is a 1983 Holder A60 c/w loader, with apparently only 668 hours

regarding the peak of automotive design. In respect of automotive diesel engine design, I reckon the VAG PD 1.9TDI from about the year 2000, or the MB OM605/OM606 from about the same period, plus no doubt the contemporary offerings from BMW, Fiat or the PSA group. Petrols, I am not so up to speed on, but "The Car Care Nut" an independant Toyota specialist on Youtube was dropping a new short block into a 300,000 mile petrol Toyota(due to an acknowledged by Toyota poor piston design or manufacturing issue) due to oil consumption of something like a quart every 100 miles! and was carefully showing and stating, camshafts still good, timing chain still good, timing chain tensioners and guides, still good, head still good, valves still good, etc etc etc. Plus the owner had kept meticulous records of all expenses, and there were very very very few parts that had required replacement over the 300,000 miles, other than wear items, which had included a single replacement clutch quite recently. Which has to be the peak of automotive design durability. Well except for the quart of oil every 100 miles! EDIT In terms of engineering, when D A Stewart was stripping the 1999 Steyr Puch, ALL nuts, bolts and threaded components unscrewed without rust fuss or damage, despite 23 years of benign neglect. Alywen has mentioned this "factoid" to me on several occassions. Plus when I replaced the rear brakes, with genuine MB items(and at Sprinter as opposed to G Wagen prices) and adjusted the traditional cable operated parking brake, I got full engagement, with some physical difficulty in engaging even the first "click", but yet both wheels spun totally freely when the parking brake was disengaged. Now THAT is superb "run of the mill" production engineering, in respect of tolerances. Ramble over.

When I get the 461 van back from her protracted, and no doubt expensive refurb works, her be getting the proper transfer box mounted PTO offen the Black bollocks of the LWB car type that, because it was a MB demo vehicle, had this rather expensive optional extra fitted by MB. To drive a hydraulic pump, with the oil resovoir in the well behind the seats, to provide hydraulics for a winch, et.al.

So like a Blackthorn into the back of the knuckle then, only worse?

I clamp the handheld belt sander in the wood vise and use that, I find it excellent, then finish on a Trend double sided 300/1000 diamond "stone", and strop if feeling right particular.

Nope, regardless of the intent, I am not being played. It merely activates my deep disgust at the sad mad state our society, or vocal elements within our society, has sunk too. Cheers

Would Admin please arrange for a suitable deeply dissaproving/mad angry "smiley", since there are not adequate to express my deep feelings on this story.

The other imponderable aspect of reversing a trailer, and pertinent to arb as well as agricultural, is localized undulations in the ground, which heights or hollows beneath the trailer wheels really really affect how the arse-end of the trailer moves.

It is a 1984 registered G Wagen. That I was hoping to keep on the road at minimal cost. It is parked up for now. Until next year, 2024. Where do the years go🤔 Thanks Andy.

Open a window, or two.

First, are there any relaxations for 40+ year old vehicles in respect of MOT and/or whatever they call car tax now? Or did the UK simply fix 1972(was it?) as a fixed cut-off date for such derogations. Second, how difficult is it, and what will it cost to register a 2010 Polish registered LHD G Wagen in the UK. this being a rather rare G Wagen "Professional" with the OM642 engine, that might be coming up for sale in Dublin. Well the first question was easy answered. /assets/static/govuk-opengraph-image-dade2dad5775023b0568381c4c074b86318194edb36d3d68df721eea7deeac4b.png Historic (classic) vehicles: MOT and vehicle tax: Eligibility - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK Vehicle tax exemptions and MOT exemptions for vehicles built or first registered before 1982. And, bugger it, I dipped out by 2 years! Gerrrr!

Wheres the liquor?

I have lost the link but I saw an document published on the "Quota" site which described how the FAA has significantly "moved the goalposts" in respect of their mandatory Pilot ECG's, to account for how the Covid vaccine or booster has fornicated the Pilots hearts, as evidenced by these ECG's. Science, eh!

I would like to spout some shite about us farmers sons being able to reverse wee-short arrised trailers, BUT . . . you bes well correct Bob. Course iffen the cousin an me built one we could design in a long drawbar, or actually, erm, a telescopic one, hmmm he thinks . . . EDIT; Ah just remembered, way back about 1984 when we were at a TA Camp at Manorbier in South Wales, to fire the Blowpipe missiles, I watched in awe as Gunner Matt "Hellesby" Huston reversed a 110 Series III LR with the very short-arsed army trailer, flat out for a significent distance, say 25 to 50m. Because some SNCO said he could not do it. Seriously impressive to watch, specially as I would have carried the can iffen it hadda went wrong. But, hey, he worked on a farm.
