That’ll be a great buy for someone 👍

You can legally take crow and magpie under General Licence. Just stick a bit of rape or some fruit trees next to it 😉

Does it only happen as you brim it, or every time, even if not filled to maximum?

Have a chat with these guys - not too far from you. https://www.freelanderspecialist.com/category/freelander-2 You’d certainly be able to take it there and they would have a quick look and advise you if it’s worth doing. I’ve used them a couple of times - not the cheapest, but excellent...

Air lock?

Flush it through well with the good stuff…

Well yes - I imagine most places use fairly generic photos for thing like brake pads, rather than taking lots of individual photos of very similar-looking boxes and items.

Dunt the pedalling hurt your legs after a couple of miles?
