Is it seated? Its a taper once clean and seated it takes a bit to break it apart without the nut. Double spanner it ;). J

Crows foot in the correct position or just effing tight. You feel it go when it's too late😜

Finally! Turns out it wasn’t really the image file size, but the pixel dimensions - go figure. Anyway, a clean P38 for you all to admire.

Depends on the seller. I suspect some is seconds or stuff that failed quality control. Other stuff they stay on late at work, knock another ten out and then sell on from home. Of course, they may not have the help of be adept at all steps in the...

Enlightening Lightbulb moment

The supplied bottle jack on mine was fine, one morning I got to work I noticed a screw head in one of the treads on the front tyre, took the wheel off, dropped it in my local tyre place, picked it up on return to depot luckily, the screw hadn't...

Neither happen. It just travelled as normal BUT every time she stopped it was bouncing like there was a party going on. If we weren't tight for time for dog's appointment I would have followed her into the car park she went into. Just to ask 🫣

So the Golden girl and I have been driving around 'civilisation' today and we saw an odd thing. Nothing new in the cities and towns but I was more puzzled than usual by this one. there was a little 1989 3series beemer in front of us for a while...

Also keep two smallish off cuts off of a scaffold plank, one to go under the jack when the ground is uneven and one to kneel on for the same reason, (and if it's wet anorl) ...

My P38 has one and so did my Disco

Been driving around with no warnings which has spooked me. Heavy rain yesterday so flooding yesterday and today. Road closed due to flooding but just set to wading height, opened the window to check the depth and just eased through. Pretty much...

Odd, Range Rovers used to come equipped with a rather decent bottle-jack.

Weirdest thing happened. She has been sat for more than a week, weather a tad bitter this morning. Got in her , put key in,turned without resistance and she started first time. What kind of sorcery is this?

Been using my "new" 60 reg TDV8 for the commute to work this week, night work, so traffic is light but the roadworks do as well! On Wednesday morning at about 0130 coming down the A249 from sittingbourne to the M20, police had closed the road to...

I've been thinking.. as you do.. we think of cheap parts that don't last long as false economy.. but when you add it up using man math.. it's not been on long enough to seize up so easier to replace 🤔

The whole car went live as the water entered the becm. It burnt the two rear door locks, the fuel cap lock, emptied the screen wash and nearly burnt the heavy live to the battery while the starter was screaming it's t#ts off... All while the key...

Its a very debatable thing so I would never "say" you will be fine 🤔. I am quite comfortable with my torque elbow most of the time. Some bolts these days have a "lube" coating (no Idea what it is). But I do hate it when they say "this tight...

Green P38 just passed MOT for another year with no advisories :):):)

On a plus note, once i got the head liner down, the metal roof was dry as a bone.. there.. I've gone and jinxed it

Not sure what's going on here but looks suspect to me

If the alternator stops charging whilst you are driving, it doesn't take long for them to grind to a halt. At least check the voltage at the battery with the engine running.

I wouldn't bother until it has worked for at least a week.

Fixed!!! Crikey !!! Ignition comes on!!! Keys work!!!!!

Walked past her and thought " I'm either dumb or it's love". Friend was complaining yesterday that her garage started work on her car for MoT without saying what it would cost. Well that's not on BUT she then said I'd sooner get rid if it isn't...

What no diagnostics with you in the car?

maybe it just needs an italian tune-up to clear out the cats.. and the system in general

Took her for a little run out.Stopped at the beach to carry dog down to wet sand for some rehab. Left her running as I jumped out. I kept hearing a creaking noise from somewhere near the rear. So had a look. It sounded like the creaking of an old...

Crikey, that's about new on a bike pad
