    Edit, you have to click on it to see the pencil at the bottom of the pic which gives you and idea of the scale. I think this Tom thinks it's a melon. We got three plants like this that were supposed to be cherry tomatoes. The smaller ones in the pic came from self-seeded versions.

    Very large fire in the department touching on ours, and we are in the corner of it, so very close. I saw a strange cloud this a.m. when driving to Carcassonne to pick W up. Not funny. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj6y803pjkwo

    Other what have u done on ur disco today

    The pressure release vaalve bolt check is a good one, and yup, I was going to do that one as if not I'd have to go throught the whole rigmarole of removing the sump again. Not seen the oil pick-up O ring change, but that too makes sense. Just need to add that to my list of parts for job. Ta mate!

    Disco 2 D2 TD5 Auto - Hesitation

    Has to be said this is also par for the course with an auto, the torque converter has to power itself up, and there may be some electronics involved which might also be a factor, but not sure about that. @sierrafery will tell us. You get used to it.;) Like when overtaking, put your foot down...

    LAX! Huh! You should have seen me spring cleaning the place over the past few days. Still got the living room to finish off, you can see your face in the granite worktops! As for if it is better and sorted, well yep, I hope so, she does, and all her family and friends do. Thanks for the kind...

    The stuff about reading the bottom of the porcelain inside the plug I knew about and it was in the link I sent you, more or less, but the timing line? Never heard of that. What I was a bit surprised about was that he didn't tell you, when fitting a plug, is to always fit it so that the strap is...
