Never tried that the trouble with me is when decanted I can't stop drinking it but it gives you a skull ache the next day . At yours do thay do the red wine and burnt toast in what looks like a Toby jug
Nice, though I prefer a Madeira, fanks
We have a bottle of that too, got it way back on holiday to the tiny island, from Blandys .
One day it will get opened, Its gathering dust at the moment

I would say get a manual d3 but the gearing is better on the autosYou mistake me. (And I have got my new glasses!)
I have 2 D1s that I love but are not roadworthy in one case or insured and MOTd in the other cos of LPG certification issues. The one and only D2 was bought when I couldn't drive so we had to have an auto. I hate the electric problems on it. Yet another reared its ugly head today and I am dreading putting it in for its MOT later this month.
I should have got at least one of the other two sorted out ages ago, but life, new kitchen etc got in the way. Plus, it does run and does keep passing MOTs but with constant work. When it IS running I kinda like it and the boot is a bit bigger, But if I preferred it we'd have got rid of the other ones ages ago.
The one in Kevs pics looks in great condition. Despite the colour. I'd be tempted to buy it and put a 300 tdi in it! Shame it is yet another auto.
think I'm correct with that.

No!Says who?
For us lefties being a bit ambidextrous, makes it normal. Its there get used to it
Remember those chairs with the desk bit that catered for righties?

So it's OK to spray terminals etc, i.e. with plug halves separated then put them together? This is what I am most worried about. Maybe it is conductive, most are I unnerstand.
Maye have to "conduct" a litckle hexperiment!
Keep it vertickle for quite a while if you haven't already done so, then open it dead carefully before decanting.
I may well be teaching granny to suck eggs here, I appreciate it.
I used to have to do "Taylor's crusted" on the fly, we had a special wooden frame and a special double threaded corkscrew to keep the deposit in place.
'83, I was all of 28 then!
We love port 'ere!
And yes, my ex s-i-l used to open a bot and throw the cork away as he knew we would drink the lot. "We" being him and me after the others had had a wee glass.

I may already have told the story. But Avery's family of wine merchants came to eat at our restaurant one night, bringing their own bots, of course!We have a bottle of that too, got it way back on holiday to the tiny island, from Blandys .

The cheese course they asked me to open a bot of port, it was a light colour, sort of golden, and had just a simple sticky label on it, more like a jam label. They asked me to pour one for myself and the restaurant manager. (They were the last customers). They sipped it, we sipped it, it was lovely and very light. They asked us what we thought of it. I was too young then to really know but Carlo said it was really nice, (he had been trained at the Savoy years before). They said "Guess how old it is!" We had no idea. Then they dropped the bomb, "It is it's 100th birthday today!".
Cool moment.
We looked at each other when we realised we had each drunk a glass worth at least a week's wages! The family laughed loud at the looks on our faces!
Great memories of working there.
Down a bit on the first page. They knock Harvey's into a cocked hat. We got all our wine through them, hence their choice to eat there!

A D3!!!I would say get a manual d3 but the gearing is better on the autos
Even worse for electrickery, and also motors whose cranks snap!
No ta!!
I think it is just until the symptoms go away (tingling sensation, blurred vision, headaches etc) then hopefully it should be a bit better
Was this ever properly diagnosed and treated?
Yes, it wasn't B12!

thing?
Best check the specific product for conductivity. A lot aren't.
On the other hand, if you have a good contact area and the spray prevents oxidation...
