Send it to me, my coal is getting low. Our fire is on its lashing outside, tis like January. :oops:

🤣 🤣 🤣

Thank you for confirming that. And good luck with your oil pump bolt. Don’t envy you, at least mine is all accessible from the top!

Mr 4 torques 🤣 🤣 Next you'll be saying your from Torquee Torquay...

Tis obvious you's from north of Hadrian's wall. Peeps who live there call it Torbay. When i was in Exeter doing my teacher training we quickly learned not to call it what you just did!!! I think this will come under the heading of a tool I...

Just discovered that W and I will now be getting the winter fule allowance, again. Though we don;t need it. Might donate it to Age Concern or summit. Flipping pendulam has swung too far the opposite way.

Just watched episode 2 ov the secret life ov bee's on channel 5 catch up. @NorfolkBird

The torque settings on the sump for my TD5 are not high and there isn't much space to put one in to do up the oil pump sprocket bolt. My nomal 1/2 inch torque wrench does for everything else, but it doesn't go below 20 ft lbs. My old fashioned...

Wots that for your Meccano set 🤣 🤣

I echo what @PopPops says. I do hope it all holds together. As a result of what has happened to you, and to kick off my so far laziness and complacency, I too am going to take my sump off and replace said bolt. All parts on order and will do it...

Thank you yes it is great news

I have to agree. I would do exactly as you suggest. Cleaning up the threads both internal and external before whacking on some Loctite. Very best of luck with it, Mate! :):):)

Well, it’s happened again, this time from the cylinder head end, last time from the FPR. The diesel slick behind and the diesel stink made me think something may be wrong!! Luckily I was only a road from home and just got into the drive. The...

I said to the misses the other night im not watching the news as there's nowt good these days, they go from people in was zones babies starving then jump over to Ronaldo who gets over 3 million a week. If you had that amount of money why does...

In the meantime, after fixing it, sort of, with gaffer tape as the parts of the switch are basically falling apart, it is now OK. But I have been onto Citroen C3 websites both sides of the channel and it appears it is a bit of a common thing...

It may just be the sensor switch thingy needs a clean wivs contact cleaner ....

Okay so sump off and check crankshaft for damage taking one main crank cap of at a time and then replacing they have stamped numbers on 1 to 5 the only one that was damaged was No 3 where the crank main bearings had spun but managed to get...

I do not envy you one bit we watch UK news here my hart sinks every day getting to the point to stop watching it to depressing 😩😩

On lighter side

The more you hunker down the greater these idiots win. I'll just add this to another page of memories of my area.

The only crime lately over here was a rabbit got in the veg patch and scoffed 6 carrots, justice was swift

Best put bars on your Windows, 😦😦

That seems a pretty extreme rattle to me all the same. Does yours rattle like that?

A dispute over a bicycle locally. Just been for a walk to my local paper shop and stopped for a chat with neighbours who use social media. Local on local confirmation in a papershop. Seriously though my area New Moston is residential has really...

Happy monday peeps, we got rain. I'll be in the machine with the door closed with the heater & radio on then. :)

Does it have hydraulic lifters? I think it is without finding very clear info on this, If so this is quite common and nothing much to worry about, If so, you need to isolate which one it is and change it or maybe service it if you can. (Use a...

I used to stamp part of my drivers licence number on my alloy wheels in the eighties, got me a set back once

'mornin, (Just). Lovely day today, got up late and it is SO quiet! Went to a pottery and ceramics exhibition in Giroussens yessdi. Tis renowned for it and the streets are all full of peeps selling their wares. We usually buy at least one...

Morning Cloudy bright here Weekend show was wet and hardly any exhibitors, only about four tractors when usually 20+ I overdosed on Guinness in the beer tent Saturday night but great fun was had by all despite it being damp :p Suns coming out...

Gawd it's getting worse around here. A young lad murdered and the police arrested four one woman for aiding and abetting three teenagers in the killing. Last week a man went into my local medical centre brandishing a knife. If anyone wants more...
