Can't the kids help ?

I'd try a water sterliser like Milton first, otherwise yer just adding smells ...

Sadly not the access to the back garden is the 3'6" path down the side of the house. I have stopped for the day and yes it is "hurty", anaesthetic Vodka is being applied.

Thats gonna be hurty tomorrow :eek:. Can you not move the cars off the drive and get it placed somewhere that allows you more time. J

Jeez it’s wham today.

He ain't got one. Must be scrapping his Freelander :p

My COB, as in before I start having a drink. ;) It didn't arrive till just after 2 and we (me-n-'er) have managed to load/barrow and stack just over 2/3 of it. She's gone off to the hospital to see her Mum, I have the G-kids to look after. Son's...

Sorry but is that Close of your business, or someone else's? ;)

for the price of a rocker gasket change it and find out

i think its the rocker gasket

I wouldn't worry too much about the leak, let it develop and enjoy the car If it gets worse then you'll be able to see where it's coming from, it's not going to do any damage Head gasket usually leaks from further along near 1 and 2, if it's...

... darn it the wood delivery is late. I've got to get it off the drive and down to the woodstore before COB today and it hasn't even arrived yet. :(

Have to, it's famous 😀

Struggling to chuck stuff away Shall I, Sharnt I, it might come in handy one day 😀

Must admit, I'd keep the Moonshine toolbox!!! Only kidding!!

Mornin Looking lovely out there Must get out and mow the lawns before it gets too hot Stay cool all :)

If thay is 20yrs old I would say thay are past the sell by date and you will soon be p------g plastic 😯😯

Afternoon folks :). Cut the front grass this morning, nearly filled the little trailer with the cuttings, chucked that all out on the common after. It worked up a sweat and soaked my shirt. think I will leave the strimming of the edges till...

Wot? Basildon?

After all this time the plastic is breaking down and you can smell/taste petrochemicals perhaps? China or glass always here. :)

They is plastic cups which hold 500ml. Got about 10 from sainsberrys near 20 years ago. Logical fing would be to change to glass. Me pipes were lead and water contamination were high enuff to taste. Running the tap cleared it but water standing...

Several times. But it only appears after a run. I want to believe it's the rocker gasket, but I can't find any oil ABOVE the plug well so far.

Um have you cleaned it to see if it comes back? Clean it up.. start engine.. watch for progress

I wondered, but I am always very careful, and I had the "leak" without pulling the stick.

When did you last pull the dipstick and check it. Cos you will always pull it with 1 hand and hold the end with the other for the end to drip, right there 🤔. J

Since he last posted about sooty plugs I too have been wondering, despite his happiness with the Rolling road session, if it isn't running a bit rich.

I have also been wondering if he doesn't need hotter plugs. What thinkest you all?

Rocker cover gasket ?

It is a HIF44 SU carb. I am willing to believe it's the HG, but I cannot track the oil down from there so far. If it was a cracked head etc I would expect other symptoms too. No blue smoke or steam either, but the radiator was a bit low when I...
