🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was only kidding.

I was dying to ask that 🤣

Of course not. Wouldn't risk my life suggesting such a thing. Me neither. I might need to find a hard hat and flack jacket though :p

Are you hinting that @WhiskyLassie has a large bottom?😳 I would like at this point to say that I have never implied this and don’t wish to be involved with any fall out from this 🤪

Postage might be a bit high ----

:eek::eek::eek:

This has stopped me doing the hen hut. I'll have to get up extra early tomorrow morn to do it.

Seems to be a car garage week. Hippo's mot, your car, my subframe and anti roll bar joint. Thankfully the job isn't as expensive as I thought so I won't need to sell my knickers 😬

It is waaaay too hot for comfort. Even in the shade. Got 'er indoors car service done this morning, before the temperature got too high and it was in the shade. And being re-tyred, I have the rest of the day off - except for putting the bins out...

😬 gonna do hgv in next couple of years 😈

If you still have your old axle, take the right halfshaft etc off it, or maybe just the hub, and swap it with the new one. See how you get on.

Glad you got it sorted! :)

I just thought before I did anything drastic I'd better just try just one last thing. I popped the top off one of the carbs and momentarily inserted a cocktail stick into the main jet hole. It was bone dry, save for a tiny bit of petrol right at...

Or two, as we don't know which one it was!!

Well, it was weeks ago, but I thought this was an appropriate follow up.

Guess I misplained myself! I meant too loose so that the valve sat too tight, but that prolly doesn't make much sense either. Ignore me today, As you say, for a cylinder to achieve its highest compression, the inlet has to be open early enough...

Have we? Am I on "Nextdoor" and not LandyZone???!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

We've talked about shoplifting here a good deal. I see the latest advice from the policing minister is not to put high value items near the front of the shop...

Afternoon Hot an sunny Off to get some more paint, trailer needs another coat, dunno why I'm bothering cause its all galvanised Stay cool all :)

Changing just the sensor can lead to problems. It is best to change the whole hub and not disturb the sensor at all, they are designed so that the wire from the sensor can be fed through everything without having to disturb the sensor in its...

pick up an engine you can strip and rebuild whilst you drive it then swap over later

My MG Metro-ed one did 20 mpg till it got warm then climbed to 40 mpg and the engine then got much tighter evidenced by the starter struggling to turn it over! Which is yet another reason why I stopped driving it to work, as, at 8 miles, the...

Well, its already returning only 27MPG so I'm not sure she needs more motion-lotion. :D

Just enjoy it, shouldn't look too deep into engine health otherwise it'll be out on the bench for a rebuild. If it sounds right and doesn't use gallons of oil then keep on blasting it down the road Give it a little more fuel and advance and sod...

Well, that's interesting. Allegedly a 1275 "Metro" engine. I did the compression test (3-squirts of oil in the cylinder and spinning over) then move on and do the next one. Cyl 1 = 210 Cyl 2 = 180 Cyl 3 = 165 (first go) 175 on extended cranking...

Well if it were in standard form you would only get 35 and turning it up a sniff might actually save a bit, more responsive and a more settled cruise Only talking a few mpg either way and more fuel means more fun :D

Have you checked the tappet gaps? Might be a bit off on #3.. or the rocker could be a bit worn.. it won't take much

Now that is interesting, in that I was always told to do the compression test first, on a warm/hot engine, but NOT putting any oil into the bores, then do the same again putting oil in the bores. You seem to have jumped the first bit. If there is...

Temp here 49 C in the sun, down by the pool. I know this as I had left the pool temp gauge out. It only goes up to 50 C :oops::oops: So 38 C in the shade. Dreading cleaning the hen hut out this arvo , but has to be done as we will be out most of...

I eventually found a bit of enzymatic washing powder stuff that W uses, normally she doesn't have anything enzymatic in the place, so I used that, then broke out the VAX steam cleaner and gave it a blast with that. First time we have taken the...
