Nope just seen they were doing an evening sailing & fancied a few hours of time out. :):)
Not looked tbh no need for it to be copper either. Just sturdy enough for a full set of pots.

Absolutely flipping fascinating!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍

But I had heard that the tyres were designed to deform like that to maximise grip, though I am prepared to be corrected on that.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) makes recommendations about the use of healthcare technologies to the NHS, based on a review of clinical and economic evidence. This includes medicines, medical devices, diagnostic techniques, surgical procedures and health promotion activities.

ct1 I will have to look up as I actooly might have a Kneed for it!!! ;) 🤣

I also thought that the tyres were designed for grip, found this....(cool slow mo shots)

I had never heard that thing about a R6 being called a "mountain goat". I love that! I have to admit that I was using it during one of the hardest winters in Northern France and it never let me down. I once was in a petrol station and noticed a funny noise coming from under the bonnet as it was running. I opened the bonnet and noticed that the air filter holder was moveable, i.e. the screws holding it to the top of the carb had come loose and I could lift the whole top of the carb off, yet it was still running fine!

So also never heard about the nickname of the R16 either!

I agree about the situation with the rear suspension being a family trait as I also knew a girl with a Renault 4 who had exactly the same problem.

Each tile weighs over 4 kilos and they are terra cotta, I suppose. I have been told that it is not a good idea to paint sealing stuff on them either. Presumably in case water trapped inside them causes a problem. So many conflicting bits of advice!

Like you, I damaged my back some time ago, when I was 18 and it has never gone away. It takes far longer to heal up nowadays and it can't take the "weightlifting" it used to. So 50 kg sacks of concrete are now beyond me. Just have to work within our limits.

Sorry, read this then got distracted - Renault 4s were more or less 'go anywhere' as well, high ground clearance and suspension travel. Doesn't surprise me that similar repairs may gave been needed at times.

Re. the tiles, painting with sealing compounds is probably not recommended because whether they are concrete or actual terra cotta, they are slightly porous. Any trapped moisture which then will not be able to evaporate off will probably freeze and cause them to crack when sub-zero.

Back's better now but like you I struggle a bit with building materials these days. Pity I spend a lot of my time shifting them and building with them. Mind you cement sacks in Spain used to be 35kg standard but were reduced to 25kg so a bit easier. Over the years I've found that posture is vital including when just sitting etc. Muscle strength is important too as you don't want all the weight bending your spine.
 
Had a bit of battery trouble (not land rover).

Occasional sluggish starting but charged up an kept an eye on it. Suddenly refused to start, turned over too slowly. Charged up again over night and all day before a long journey and after all that only just started, so battery must be failing.

Long journey completed at night (still 28 degrees) including two fuel stops and one McDonald's stop without stopping the engine at any time.

Next morning battery flat as a pancake, couldn't even unlock the car with the button, no interior lights or dashboard lights.

Jump started it from other car but not happy, battery fizzing, smells of H2S and too hot to touch when turned engine off after half hour. Needless to say will be getting a new one and will probably swap with other car for journey down, don't like the Hydrogen Sulphide risk.

Battery about 3 years old. What makes one fail so soon and so suddenly?

In some ways I think Renault 4s had to compete with 2CVs, so the go anywhere thing had to be there. I think they also did OK in some of the rallies. But boy were they the workhorse of the country, especially the vans with the little hatch that opened above the rear door so you could stick ladders etc in them.
White ones were so common back in the day that a girlfriend of mine did a stencil around the aerial on the roof of hers so she could pick it out in a car park!

Re the tiles, yep got told, just in time, about the porosity thing so wont be coating them with anything, Just popping it on the small areas of damage where I am having to keep an otherwise solid tile.

I'm very lazy about doing excercises to strengthen my back. I ought to I know, just never seem to find the time although when it is really bad I do Callanetics as recommended by my chiropractor who used to lecture at the college. That does eventually free it off a bit. Without going into detail, I damaged my back in a rather unconventional way so all the excercises one normally gets given to help don't help me. It is what it is.
