Morning All. :D Beers in the City today with mates from work 50 years past. :) Have a great day! :D

Isn't Summer in Scotland May 31st till June 2nd though?

Nope, never seen one. I am told that IF I heat the plugs up with a MAP-GAS torch they will all burn off back to clean, but I have not tried it.

It is a MY 2000 THOR engined car.

Well, I was a bit gob-smacked on that timing line but I cleaned plugs off to remove all trace of the carbon firing line took it out for a pretty good thrash and pulled the plugs and well blow me down the firing line had moved down in the direction he said it would do. There is a bit of room for...

Good to hear you will be reunited. :D I hope she is well and her recovery is as short as possible. :) Then she can get back to bossing you around as per usual, of course.

....that I did some more tinkering with the Mini. :) It is clearly an obsession. I watched a really informative YT clip (below) on reading spark plugs and I could not resist hoiking mine out to have a look. I did not know that you could determine +/- timing from where the burn line is on the...

Ahhh thanks, I was not sure of the type. I need Wideband, so the spares I have are no good for the job. NVM. :)

Morning All. :D Struggling a bit today as I seem to have put my back out of whack. :( Was OK yesterday so I cannot account for it. Clearly I am falling to bits. :) Needs fettling PDQ as I am in the City on the beer tomorrow. Have a great day! :D

Sorry if this is a dumb/daft question but what are the lambda sensors on the P38? Are they Bosch LSU 4.9's or something else? The part number AMR6244 is the dealer code for them I think. Just wondering as I have 2 spare ones that I might be able to use elsewhere. TIA

Morning All. :D Late.... awful night. Mr. Gout visited me. :( Have a good day. :D

Morning All. :D A better day weatherwise. :) Foot hurts again. :( Have a good day. :D

Morning All. :D Another cool & dull day here it seems. :) Have a great day. :D

True, I will check it out. Is a brand-new dizzy, but that means nothing really.

Morning All. :D Today is my official lie-in day of the week, but as usual I am up first. :) It gets to a point where my lower back is screaming "get off this bed NOW!" I am carrying out a sperry-ment with the Mini. Just occasionally I get this loud "front-fire" through the intake side. It...

Morning all. :D Soggy Paper today. :( Going to the Osteopath @ 10. :) Have a good day. :D

Morning All. :D Cool and threatening to rain. :( A Fox has done a poop right on our front doorstep. Nasty verminous things Foxes. :mad: Mini Club tonight, have a great day! :D

Morning All. :D Paper's got, and my coffee's hot. :) A shopping day. :( A much cooler day here for sure. Have a good day. :D
