If you can get to it easily and have a decent angle grinder, preferably with a nice cutting disc. You could put two parallel flats on it the next size down, or at a size you have a decent spanner for. Then undo it. If you can’t trust yourself with an angle grinder near your sump, don’t do this!

If you are quite happy with your current pension and how much it will give you, for what you pay in, then why not set up a separate 2nd pension?

Someone might be close enough! I would put it in either diesel or petrol in small quantities!

If you have enough space you could use a stainless steel exhaust reducer that matches the sizes you want and then use fuel safe pipe for the rest. Could probably get an exhaust bend either made up or off the shelf if needed.

My fitbit thought I was riding a bike when I drove my 2.5na. The i watch use to warn me for loads of loud noise issues - turned that sh1t off.

I assume you are talking about the bush that goes in the body mounted hinge half. They go with the smaller half up when the bonnet is closed. I took a file to mine. I don’t remember specifically why, but I think it was to get the bonnet hinge flat to get into the groove. I don’t remember if that...

I run a series v8 with original engine on twin carbs, and pretty consistently get 16 mpg. My journey pretty much consists of the same 7mile journeys each way. 200 yds at 30mph, then wind up to 50, slow to stop to enter an A road, 50 limit for 1/4 mile then 60 limit. Pretty much full throttle to...

Number 17 is the glazing felt MWC4757

Craddocks list them - hope you don’t want the right hand - it’s double the price of the left hand.

If you have got the windows then #7 would have been stuck on the bottom of the front window. Yes you will need #3 The #9 is a little piece of nylon that is the runner for the window - these are the bits that wear and allow the windows to rattle. Will need probably 4 of them per door. Got some...

When I fitted Wolf wheels to a 1993 110, I noticed some studs looked to have more nut engagement than others. I then found 2 different thickness of nuts were on the vehicle. I fitted genuine LR nuts and these all showed <1 thread of nut visible, so stud just about 1 millimetre short of being...

Sorry.

Genuine Wolf wheels should be tightened to 170Nm Standard steels 130Nm After market wheels should be tightened as per the wheel supplier specification which is based on thickness of wheel and the design of the wheel.

ERM shows this: This is about the norm. If you want anymore then you have to ask - I presume that is what the owner is in the process of!

They have got the lugs/bump for hub caps, so pretty old. My 52 Ford pickup has 8 lug wheels (yankie) and 16” but from memory 3 lugs for the hub caps.
