Popped to the pound shop day before yesterday after my leg lay up. Once bejewelled with Abduls finest offerings the heap wouldn’t start. Out of diesel 😳 Back into said shop for a can and a walk to ASDA I bled the sodding thing and back on my way. Today I went on a run to blow away its...

Mi headlights made a nice orange glow on the road just ahead. A tad close perhaps but to the left. Started looking different about five weeks ago. A little smaller and more circular. Seems one of them blew 😳 More sealed beam on their way. Let’s see if they can outlive me 🤣

Anybody used one of these hammers to remove the leaf spring bush in the chassis?

Just got to work. New noise on the way in. Squeaky with the occasional grind. Seems to be under the seatbox. Oh bum. Please god not the gearbox.

Looks like they are closing UK manufacture. I believe they have been foreign owned for some time but I hope I can still get mi skidmaters :eek:

Many moons ago I fitted new balls o_O They have worked well but more recently the steering has gone a bit twitchy, I have a clonk on braking and in 4WD the steering has always been notchy and pully. I thought for my next trick :rolleyes: I’d strip each hub down to its knickers and rebuild...

Picked up one of these today from a boot fair. No idea why as I removed the dash socket for it years ago. :confused:

Anyone have a contact for series 3 hinge pins.

Since the engine rebuild I have just noticed that the ignition light is glowing very slightly. You cant see it in daylight but its there. The voltage from the alternator seems to have taken a slight dip to about thirteen and a half volts but it was over fourteen before. Ive checked the fan belt...

Up in Whitby next to the ruin. allright allright. Two ruins together o_O

Yes yes, I know don’t buy a second hand helmet. it’s not for a motorcycle or for bang arrest. I need a full face helmet to make an air fed mask. I have the fittings and just need a scrapper helmet. Something I can drill, seal, rip out the lining, glue in bits so it fits and generally smash to...

It’s wiper arm failure day ‘again’. The thin stick bit has broken at the bit where it’s riveted to the meaty bit. On close inspection there ain’t alot of meat left in that stick when they drill out for the rivets so it looks like I’m in the market for a new set. I can’t remember the...

WillI it never end :mad: Diesel dripping from the kill arm now.

As anyone who has a bust one will know they don't make em like they used to :( After my recent blurgalry I was left with a smashed one and the price for a replacement was more than my weak heart could cope with. Time to get creative with my new spectacles. :) The newer model (SSB301) for...

I feel like I’m playing rugby again. It’s all this the thrutching about with engins. Massive faff getting the engine back on my own but got there in the end. Head back on today along with timing it all up and wacking the cover back on. Tomorrow will be pump timing. Never done one before so...

When I was stripping the engine I stood for a second wondering how the pump drive came out. I had a prod as you do and eventually found the grub screw under the oil filter housing that held it in. Before that however :oops::oops::oops: I had a delve in the top end as I could see a circlip...
