Yes, that crack is absolutely enough to fill the sump. You can work it out roughly, assume it "drips" once per second, its actually a weep, it...
I used Merlin to test mine, just one failed, which I expected. They have a proper tester and seem like a respected company, so would trust the...
Not a whole lot will change after Brexit. Have look at Page 26 of the consultation document. The UK (and the EU!) are still remaining part of the...
Hi They are looking for some more info, but I think they bought it as is (de-identified), for off road use, so its original ID could well be...
Could you have stamped the number on the chassis, or were they already aware it wasnt there? I guess its a least a good thing they...
Hi John Just looked at your other posts. Strange that they gave you a Q plate even though you found the chassis number! Was it a new chassis you...

Hi Just the obvious stuff, gasket, head bolts etc, and an oil and filter change. I didnt change anything else when I replaced my head. Are you...
