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

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, stay open long enough then close bang on time for...

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

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 position. The gap between it and the reluctor ring is...

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 commute didn't get it beyond 20 mpg.

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 is a difference it means there is bore wear. The...

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 the next two days. Spent a large part of this...

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 little hand steam cleaner of it and used it. Quite...

Mornin all. Flipping dogs kept getting me up to let them out over and over again, starting at 2 a.m. Eventually got back to sleep. Couldn't make head nor tail of it...... Until I woke up at about 7:30. Piles of Di....ea. That explained it. Typically on the only wood floor in the house. So...

I was just going to say that a mate had a stainless V8 RR system crack on him, in several places. He drilled the ends to stop them spreading then got me to come over and weld them up with my stainless mig wire. Took the whole system off the car, put it on trestles, welded all the cracks back...

So, no news?

Guess what? I have just discovered that they only made 10 variations of the locking wheel nuts on Discovery 2s! EDIT. discovered this yessdi, and posted about it in another fred. At length. Havent yet seen a reply from the blokey although I helped him find the exact adaptor he needs. Such is...

Me too, but it looks like you are going for a strip down and clean up anyway, rather than just getting them working quickly. I just hope that your work with taking them to bitz and ultrasonically cleaning them doesn't end up with you having to retune them too much.

I looked at it and thought, "This isn't its first rodeo!" 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

I don't think he'll be able to tell without taking them off. As they are right on the bottom of the carbs. I think!

Think he's got that T-shirt!

Someone seems to have scratched either and H or an I on the lower part of the top of that nut!!!
