Thought I'd ask when you liked the post.
It's a Geordie phrase for a friend. Really it's for a very close friend, but these days it gets used the same as you would say 'mate'.
The interpretation I was taught was that it was for someone who was as close to you as your bone marrow, abbreviated to marrow and in Geordie marra. The old Geordie words are falling out of use, but I like to chuck a marra in every now and then.

Around here it's the day after today.@mick the builder Do you know what a marra is over there?
but is prefixed with 'The'
Update done 700 miles in “THE GENERAL” chased a few diesel leaks all sorted now but the ‘mark one’ gear selector I made as a feasibility study to see if it could be done worked a treat but as I built it without seals it leaked (go figure) so made a new oil tight version happy days on a foot note anybody no the boost psi on a standard 300 as mine is running 16PSI regards gatso

Very clever
Absolutely thrashing mine to within an inch of its life,uphill, I can get 0.9 bar on my gauge. That's 13psi. Mine is taken off the back of the manifold.
Yeah mine too off manifold at 16psi pulls like a train loves 3rd and 5 on motorway with the 1.2. Disco transfer box lot of gear changes around town but they are a “drivers car”Very clever

Interesting. Yours is developing over 20% more boost than mine.
