I wonder if it would be a good idea to advertise for newly retired older mechanics who want to keep there hand in, maybe 4 or 5 places through out the uk.!
 
I bought an altenator from Dingo Croft in High Wycombe, Lucas Electrik it says on the label. Baring failed after 3 months, cheap Chinese crap.

I've found Dingocroft to be very helpful but must admit I had some engine mounts off them that were utter ****e and had to be returned. They refunded the money without issue though.
 
Out of interest how did you sus out the SAS connection?

Riddled with bullet-holes, sand poured out of the chassis legs, a faint aroma of cuban cigars and a single malt in the glovebox. Other than that the remains of a raghead hooked onto the harmonic damper was a giveaway.

Easy-start, sporn of the devil :mad:

Unless it was ex-Special-Administration-Service vehicle from Whitehall in which case it is factory fitted with silver-plated paperclips in the cubbyhole and has a whiff of bull**** from the rear seat.
 
Pardon my ignorance, raghead?

A colloquial term and to be honest rather naughty and derogatory. It refers to a gentleman of middle-eastern origin by inference to the traditional head-garb or keffiyeh, favoured by dhaesh and, of course, Laurence of Arabia.

Do you mean the fuzzy wuzzies who used to take pot shots us? They don't like it up them ;)

'Ah yes, now I recall hearing the term before - thanks for the explanation. Depending on your definition of 'remains' not nice to find attached to your vehicle ?

Funny you should mention the about pong, & you should see the size of the paper clips !
 
No. Me thinks it may have been special branch ! Some paddy stopped & told me he'd been chased by that thing more than once back in the 80's.
When you hit the hooter its got a Northan Irish accent !!!
How I found out it was " maybe " SAS was that I rang the guy that checks the history of all the cars for aution at BROOKLANDS AUCTIONS, they
had a '93 going through, he checked the reg on his computer as we spoke & verified it saw service for 3 years.
