Good job my MY 2000 P38 is approaching 25,000 miles. It finally feels like it is "loosening up" quite nicely. Most problems are due to the rubber elements breaking down and failing. I am perfectly happy with the performance and see no need for...

You've had your summer, nights are drawing in again, winter is on the way. Time to dig yer thermals out 😁

Rain has stopped after nearly a week. :oops: So much for summer I hope it gets better. Off out to mess about outside. No immediate jobs on that im aware off. :):)

A WW2 UXB was found in a garden down ere yesdi. They dug it out, carted it off (to the beach, i think) an blowed it up. Weren't arf a bang..

Reminds me of when I was working in and around London Docklands on construction projects. The area got more than its fair share of bombs during ww2, about 25% of which never went bang. Location records of UXB's is very good, on some jobs we...

Dodgy Alternator? My P38 threw up solid ABS/TC fault lamps each time the Alternator went bad. Eventually the bad alternator caused the rev counter and speedo to switch on & off, was most disconcerting 0mph 0RPM, real values, 0mph 0rpm. New...

Today's mission has been mished. :D Fragrant old mattress all rolled up and secured. Added some pick-up handles. I offered to put it outside under the cover of the eaves but the wife said to leave it for her brother to sort out now the hard...

Morning All. :D Today's mission is to roll up a smelly old mattress at the old gals house and chuck it out. I am advised that rubber gauntlets may be required as it's a bit crusty and fragrant. I shall be armed with some ratchet straps and some...

I expect you have seen this already, but it does give pause for thought to you, your missus and any of us who have drawn up wills. It certainly made us rethink. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2390x51zqo

Go & find some young yoofs to race of the lights. Then plugs look good to me. It runs & drives. Enjoy it while the suns out

Seriously, those don't look bad at all. It may now be down to valve disparity. I.e. slight difference in how they seal. Recheck the tappets and compression on all cylinders. If you are seriously that bothered, nothing there to worry about.😉

Love the names of places . Bit like cheesefoot head

Sounds like a plan, either small file and file a tiny flat middle of needle or you can use Brasso to remove tiny amounts off till you get an improvement, could be lean at top end though and rich lower down, that would give black plugs if you're...
