I have a concrete floor in the garage and shît still goes missing 🤷 For me it's mice🤔😝

Especially if it's had water leaking into the steering wheel from the windscreen or body seam above😳

Is that some homophobia I detect?

We say "it's doing it's job" 👍

Good to know that you are imagining me wearing Lycra, and not helping to solve my simple engineering question. There is a word for people like you. What is that word again, I forgot?

Yes of course, and given my car's engine an d gearbox operating range this will not happen. Everyone here seems to think that this minor changed to the differential ratio will suddenly cause me to be driving around at 500 RPM on the highway...

At some point I will be indulging in a TIG welder. Thats the first job... Many thanks for this.

Totally. You cannot even put different wheels on the car without them adding a premium to the insurance price. Any modification versus how my car arrived from the dealer 23 years ago is considered a modified vehicle.

Sure if I was towing a horse float and I was desperately concerned about accelerating up every hill, but in a car that is designed to tow 140% of its weight, that will have just one man, three dogs and some clothes in it this will not be an...

I may have accidentally added flappy paddles to the TD6. Bit time consuming but not difficult and is definitely a nice addition. Its one thing I missed compared to my other car. Occasionally having a semi manual control over the box is a good...

So true, if the 8 speed did not have the 2.76 ratio differential that I was considering using. So the 2.76 ratio differential is ok in the 8 speed where the second highest gear is 1:1 ratio but not ok in my 5 speed where the second highest gear...

I learnt the hard way to never say where she can hear you that she's been good lately.... 😂😂

Hey! Not really.

i was doing rear wheel bearing on my disco3 and dissasmbled the hand brake (drum in disc) and went to reasemble it and a spring was missing .searched all around the shoes drum and any other places and the floor was clean concrete got the wife to...

Do you reckon OP will be wearing Lycra while doing this? Might help his crazy diff change idea

It would be best for the optimal ignoring, however, I keep it there to ensure others are ignoring including myself! Doh!

MOT'd the G4. No advisories but the horn clock spring wire went open circuit on way to MOT so had to replace the clock spring. It passed OK then !!

Cubby box is in, tightenedbthe thread rivets a little bit better, now you can lift the car on the box! Looks nice, if you ask me!

You forgot skin tight Lycra. Plus on a bike you don’t stop for traffic lights

Its like riding a bike, tall gears are more difficult to pedal, you have find the easiest gear to maintain speed without too much effort, all depends on hills, wind and energy.

Cost cutting on materials and the process. Cheaper materials and the bare minimum work means it’s not a permanent solution.. but 3 years down the line it’ll be a different team in the council and won’t be their problem any more. They can only...

Retired for 21 years but still paying my taxes :( What I can never understand is why the repairs don't last, is it shoddy workmanship or cost cutting on materials? When the Yanks built air-bases here during WW2 they used huge machines that...

The roof? Just a thought if thay used sea foam and it dried on in hot sunshine

Rails of correct section available from YRM. A mate fitted a gas strut on his, says it is nice door can remain open on a side slope or in wind. However when he opens door a bit off it goes flying to a crash as it stop, you have to hang on to it...

Correct. I misunderstood the OPs request. I 'think' les Edwards at classic rides fiddles with oe radios a bit.

This was an abandoned project of my eldest son. Everything else has beeen repaired or replaced including new chassis. I am rebuilding with another son. Almost complete. On another note, I have seen comments regarding the rear check strap. Has...

Was it like it before the clean ? THAY may have used the wrong stuff or to aggressive cleaner
