  1. Good luck with the MRI and everything . Don't forget to ask the Doctor if he needs some logs ! ?
  2. And you can be on spikes It does not matter if you tare the bark etc etc
  3. Bummer . Sorry to hear it . Don't be surprised if the scum are back soonish .
  4. Ah . Understood Joe . Big sorry ?
  5. Also don't mention any kind of fish . ?
  6. Andrew ! . You are not sorry , I can tell ?
  7. Time , experience , and dedication . Most impotently of all .....stay off your phone .
  8. We have , in the past been asked to " take a bit off here and there " (when the customer really wants it gone ) coz he thinks it will be cheaper .
  9. Shoe horn that into the latest polo ?
  10. I would refer you to a thread in this very forum of yours Steve entitled Skills . We can do all kinds of stuff . Mark B is a jack of everything ! ?
  11. Why do No 1 and No 4 not fire on tickover ?
  12. I did my best, used brick cleaner to remove the aluminium transfer then lightly sanded with fine wet and dry and finished with a bit of scotchbrite. Honed as best as I could, it didn't look awful. You can get spring loaded ( three legged ) hones that you can put in a drill . This ensures , pretty much , that it stays round .
  13. Did you hone the bore ? The ring do need to bed in .

    Scam???

    Blimey Gary . You don't half know some stuff ! ?
  16. That sounds like an air leak . crank seals ? 120psi is on bottom limit don't you think ?
  17. Think it's built in to the carb manifold, I couldn't see any faults with the manifold, but when idling I sprayed some carb cleaner behind the carb as best I could and it would stall. Which makes me think that the manifold is compromised. However I would have though the pressure and vac test would have picked that up. We need Spud . He will be along shortly I expect . Having said that 120 psi is kinda on bottom limit I would have said .
  18. I agree with most of that . The bit I don't agree with is the " any fool " bit .
  19. A very honest and sensitive post . ?
  20. I was driving on the A27 in a 2ltr Audi A4 and a Tessla completely destroyed me on acceleration . I was never going to keep up . Because they have such huge chunks of torque they can run higher gearing with out loosing any power hence the stonking grunt they demonstrate .
  21. The bloke across from me has an electric car . Not a hybrid but pure electric . He plugs it in on the driveway at home . When he has to go on a long trip , say to Scotland from West Sussex it automatically plans his journey to take in any available charging points that it calculates it would need . I have a diesel truck but I would have one of those trucks for sure . Its coming I'm pretty certain of that and when it does take off the infrastructure to facilitate it will quickly come into place . Business dictates that if nothing else .
  22. Same as heavy towing would use more diesel .
