Charging FL2 battery, was going for a run but it's too hot Only had 11.8 volts due to much locking and unlocking, starting while doing a service, starting while changing power steering oil etc etc. doesn't help that the mirrors fold every time I...

Afternoon Lovely sunny day, managed to keep house down to 22c by having blind closed and windows shut. Painted GF's fence this morning, looks better in grey and silver than rusty black and faded gold :D Dog behaved as well, just lay there and...

Mornin Sorry to hear that , hope it's not too sad as it was expected

Morning All. A sad day here. :( The old gal passed away quietly at 05:21 this morning. Her son was there with her. A long life, well lived and now at peace. Have a good day. :)

OK, get all that. But as long as you make a note of how much you back the mixture off, I don't see how that would be a concern. sure it'd weaken the mixture across the range but they often leave it running a little rich. It is obviously tuned on...

Power steering system flushed with 2 litres of new fluid and new reservoir fitted I have a noisy pump, never noticed it before, let it develop for now Cleaned the seats as it's a lovely day and hoovered the life out of the interior, not a dog...

... that the hospital called my wife to talk about the MIL. The GA on monday has brought on delirium in the old gal (it often happens when they have dementia in the first place). Her kidneys are shot from weeks and weeks of vancomycin, her o2...

Mornin Warm but dull for now Had to put canes up as sunflowers are now at about 3 feet and I expect em to get much higher. Putting some steak in slow cooker for tonight Stay cool all :)

Morning All. :D A pretty rubbish night. Hosp called at 1:39 to say the old gal was fading again. :( A lovely day here. :) Have a good day. :D

Friend of mine used to use carpet underlay, think the stones idea was to keep snails off but different people give different answers :)

Wot does we fink about mulch for covering soil in me plants pots? Is small stones a betterer option to stop weeds growing in em.

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...

In the past where the vehicle has bogged down with a BDL needle has been in low RPM going up to mid-range RPM so maybe a bit off the part-throttle area.

New resevoir arrived yesterday 🙂

Did you buy a new reservoir? There is a small filter fitted in it - if it’s not been changed for a good time, it’s worth switching it for a new one when you change the fluid.

You can always file a bit off the BDL if you loose power top end

I think it is the latter of the two. I think I will pull the "custom needle" and put a standard BDL in there.

Flush it through well with the good stuff…

It's not the plugs, it's either burning oil or tooooo rich

Could use two and rig up a connecting leverage type device, did this once with a handbrake cable

... that the wife just got a call from the hospital. Her Mum (who they gave a GA to yesterday to work on her leg) is now today going downhill fast and she had better get there ASAP. Not looking good at all.

Just syphoned the fluid out of my FL2 Power Steering resevoir and it's definately red. Waiting for green stuff to arrive now then I can replace it.

Mornin Lovely sunny morning Making something to change oil in power steering today, two bottles, some tube etc Off to water plants before it gets too warm Stay cool all :)

Rang up the house insurance peeps for the UK today, managed to get nearly £100 knocked off the premium. Result! :):):)

Morning All. :D Another hot one. Don't mind if I do. :) Shopping later. :( Have a great day. :D

Mine ? No cat at all

Does it have a dummy cat or no cat at all?

The e-assist is a big help without it I doubt that the cycling would be possible. But, I do my best to keep the e-assist level low enough that I am also putting effort into the system against the resistance so that my muscles get a bit of work to...

...took the Mini out for a blatt round the town, no problems noticed. Will check the plugs later. Also took the trike out and did a 10 mile loop around Canvey Island in the sunshine. :D That's twice in just few days. :)

Checked spare wheel Renewed pollen/cabin filter And sorted some suface rust in boot (more underneath I suspect)
