I don't get the cut ya nose to spite ya face type, I would much rather see a vehicle I own go to a good home if I couldn't be bothered with it. What a lot of these type of owners don't realise is the time/effort & money involved in getting these...

Sorry mate, I didn’t make that clear at all did I? The bloke in Middleham. I googled Middleham garages and by chance that garage popped up. Called them and it belongs to the bloke who rents the garage to the business. He said it’s for sale. He’s...

Would you believe it ?? Trying to set tappets on my little landy Kohlar engine only to find that they are hydraulic lifters 🤔 I'll have to flush the engine and put fresh oil in to see if that solves the noisey tappet problem, it's been stood...

It makes no difference, I have tried it both ways. The more I read about it all the more I think it needs a new carb, but I have yet to change the plug. Modern petrol seems to play absolute total havoc with carbs, well small ones, and even carb...

Does the 2-stroke run if you remove your home-made air-filter?

Sorry your bloke or the bloke in Middleham?!;)

Gearbox oil & differential oil viscosities are very different, so quite large particles will be dragged out with the oil, not so with an engine where its preferable to have warm oil to aid extraction by whatever process is being used. There's...

May well be the case, but this thread is about an engine sump. ;)

First of all explain that if it was working why was it opened with the key? ... can you hear any activity in the latch when you lock/unlock with the fob? No such thing for the driver's door

Bin lookin at the cost of snooker table cloths. Wow what a range of prices...

Well it's not rained, yet! So the football tournament in the stadium nearly opposite our place has been going on all morning, finishing off with a lunch, obvs. Seems quiet now. And it has suddenly got very dark, the opposite of wHat Monsieur...

I have put up on here a pic of the Series one with a crane on the back that has been parked outside a garage in Middleham ,Yorkshire Dales for as long as we have been going there which is since 1991 on and off. Still there according to street...

Maybe the 255th day of 2019? Wonder if it was a Friday! Nope it was a Thursday. (Amazing what you can get orf tinternet!)

As usual you only think about this sort of thing when you need it, which is too late! I expect I'll manage to find a way of getting the outside of the plug to touch the metal of the motor while yanking on the start cord. But I may not be able...

Couldn't find me nife at wuk yesdi. We has wuked together for many years. Eye were sad to fink eye'd lost him or he'd been taken. May only be an auto retracting carpet nife burrits been reliable and friendly over the years. Gorra nuvva one but it...

Morning all! Want to get W to help me test to see if I can get a spark. (Yes, I know, should have done this much earlier!) But she being she will "create" a bit before this happens. Before that I'll have to help her fill up her new raised bed...

I was coming back to the east midlands from Wales yesterday and was delayed somewhat by a massive traffic jam that stretched most of the way around the A5 ring road around Shrewsbury. Eventually we got to the cause of the delay - there was an...

TBH, I have yet to find "debris" coming out of a sump. Very finely divided stuff, maybe once in a while, but that it what filters are for so don't usually find much. If there were larger bits I'd think you'd already know there was a problem!!;)

Forgot to mention that it wasn't obvious how to get even the top off the Bosch DW, once done and the sides removed I found an old mouse nest in it! The blighters seem to be able to post themselves through the narrowest of holes. I doubt if...

Not being able to buy a plug for the strimmer until Thursday I decided to have a go at the Bosch dishwasher cyurrently taking up space in the hall. Couldn't find the exact manual or YouTube for it, so am having to undertake yet another voyage of...

I have now found a product especially designed to grout/glue/fix zinx guttering, Only €14 and sold in a DIY place in the town we will be going to on Thursday, supposedly. So, happy about that! It's basically like a mastic and comes in the normal...

Thanks for the tip! It originally started weeping in corners, now the end of one gutter has come off completely. I like the idea of the rubberised paint. I'll have to work on what that is called in Frog! But the broken off bit I'll have to use...
