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

Last and only time I had a leak from a sump, it was my D1 300tdi. the sump just went porous, I have to think the inside of it was going rusty. I cannot remember if I or the mech disposed of it, I got a mech to swop it out, guess it must have been.

Eh?? It's a Land Rover;);)

at 3 or 4k+ per ton that's well worth the effort

If your oil is very clean then maybe you can only spot the bit that has run down to plughole and got dirty

The lads are in the middle of removing lead ballast blocks from a scrap barge iirc they are mostly 10kg think there is about 3 tonnes out & theres still more. :oops:

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

You could also try weakening the mixture a tad. Did you pull the plugs after a decent hot run? I seem to remember before, you were happy with the colour of them. You could always do a compression test, if that cylinder is down on pressure then...

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...

Have to, it's famous 😀

Thanks very much. The explanation of where to put the RTV really helps. Hope it doesn't leak any more after you latest effort!:):):)

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

Front lawn done, just the back to do then I can start sorting some scrap out 🙂

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...

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

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

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

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...

Morning All. :D Supposed to be a scorcher today, but no signs of that yet. :) Our "free" day except for feeding sons cats, and getting HIS kids from the school. Have a good day. :D

Maybe go to ornery porcelain or china ones then. We take glasses of water to bed with us, just use a drink mat on top of the bedside cabinet to not damage the surface. But if we ever have drinks down by the pool we have a massive set of all...

Is there a special reason why you use plastic ones?

Mornin all, up but not quite as early as we wanted. Tis V hot already, I am dreading going out and working in it. Also cannot find my hedgetrimmer, yet. Yessdi sweat got in my eyes, a lot. I rinsed them in salty water then in non-salty water...

Me cups are about 10 years old. Not the frow away maccy d type. Never had the problem until moving house. Its as if me cups have bin contaminated. Going to try sworf eger next.

Yer may remember some time ago me water tasted funny. If yer dunt yer gorra go back and read it. Luckily castle ippo has had its water pipes replaced recently. Water now tastes a lot betterer. Me drink eye takes to bed lasts all nite where as...

Told plusnet eye were leaving and got the new customer price like me naybor wood, fer renewal.

I'll do thisn if it plays up again. I am waiting for peeps on the C3 fora, both in the UK and in Frogland to reply to just this question. they aren't in a hurry seemingly!!

Unplug it, what does it show ? Bridge the connector, what does it show? Cos 1 of them will give you the answer. J
