Only thing I know about private plates is that you cannot make a car look younger than it is, for example putting a 51 plate on a '95 N plate. You can of course put a '95 N plate on a 2001 car. I think transferring the plate is simple enough but might have a transaction charge.

Pressurise enough and it will blow coolant out the overflow which goes to the side and then underneath and then drips down the wing.

Whole f_ckin' day wasted today on those two bolts and no further forward. That and trying to bleed the high pressure pipes with 2 dodgy batteries that **** themselves as soon as you try to crank. Utterly wasted ****ing day. Those bolts have one chance left and then it is time to get violent.

Gentlemen (& ladies), We're looking at an automatic diesel P38A. Two of them actually. I'm trying to get the rad off my scrapper and onto what I am hoping might become a runner. The radiator on the scrapper looks original. It is held at the bottom by two bolts that go through the rad holder...

A split ring is always going to cause trouble sooner or later.

Yes, an incorrect signal rather than absence of signal might mess it up.

On my P38A I cut the cooler pipes and used compression fittings and a new bit of oil hose. Others used a flaring tool on the stub of pipe remaining. Sump can probably be plugged with Quiksteel. You'd be amazed what it seals!

Bit odd. No issues with my car or my scrapper but Slooby's was messing with my head yesterday. I wish I could pun down what is different about it. Cannot be the FIP itself as I swapped them over. I'll see if it runs after I have finished swapping some other bits over and if needs be with use...

Worth talking to @Bemble ?

Started reassembling Slooby's former Rangie. Just cannot get the FIP adjustment right. Swapped for the FIP on my scrapper thinking maybe the Woodroffe key was worn but same sh1t. Get it bang on, rotate 360 and the b*st*rd has moved. I think maybe the keyway on the sprocket has some play or maybe...

Weirdly I have never changed mine. Makes me think the quality of the originals is massively better than anything available now.

Found this on my hard-drive. No idea where I got it but might be useful to someone else: viscous fan testing procedure.

Unfortunately the only way I managed to get a response was to threaten legal action via the bank. I didn't like doing it but he was taking the ****. Never been back.

What could possibly ... actually, best leave it there.

Cheapest fix and first job with brakes is to follow the bleed procedure as per RAVE. Don't rush it and pump plenty of fresh fluid through. How many presses of the brake pedal before the ABS pump kicks in? If the accumulator membrane is shot it might leak fluid into that. Also, check the brake...

You could put Megasquirt or similar on it and then map whatever you want but it is an awful lot of messing about for a brick of a car. As you said, there are a few off the shelf cams available that would do the job.

Turners. Don't think they're as well thought of as they used to be. V8 Developments might be worth a look. Changing the cam is the first job. Easy enough to do if you follow RAVE. After that you can get someone to play with the ECU but think about what characteristics you want in both high and...

Other thread. A bit of PTFE tape seems to have sorted the drain plug. Aircon drains were dripping but dripped a lot more after I jammed a screwdriver in there. Oddly the driver's side was worse than the passenger side. I can confirm the exhaust catalyst gets very hot and it is best not to...

Well this is weird. Just checked this page and as I get to the bottom this was in draft form to be posted but the pictures are missing! See below! Water, water effing everywhere... Got back from town and noticed coolant dripping from the front. Looked underneath and the drain plug on the rad...
