Yer can't apply post terms and conditions to a contract. Well yer can but they can't be enforced as it weren't agreed before said loan. Putting a note onnit to say its a loan is a post term. It sounds like yer friend was struggling to prove it...

If we ate 'em we wouldn't get any eggs, so nope!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Hens=butchers=lunch 🤣 🤣

We've got semi-pet squirrels too @Hippo. Xylia spends a fortune on nuts now. The squirrels seem to spend a good deal of time begging. Ours prefer walnuts and will ignore lesser offerings like peanuts and Brazils now they know they can get walnuts...

Night orl :):):)

Bort me squirrels 5kg of hazel nuts. Normally get 2.5 but eye had 4 feeding yesdi.

I've had this situation with loved ones too - operations getting postponed, sometimes at the last minute. In a sense, once they're actually in theatre, it's somethign of a relief. Then they're in the recovery suite, and the process of being an...

I think I may have commented earlier that before we left the UK I saw the leader board and there were about 3 Chinees in it. Shame they didn't "read the room" about flag-waggling. As you say, nooker is still quite a conservative sport in its...

China chap won. Some burd passed him a flag so he wrapped it round himself. They were banging on about him being from china. First this and that. Then he won. They do flags in the limpic's but snookers a bit old fashioned.

Got clocked by a falling sheet of MFC first thing, badly stacked, baskit. I was the first one in as usual, lucky it didn't knock me out. I'll have a new scar now so not so purdy any more, seven stitches. Gots a plaster over it, will post a pic...

I put atf in my td5 R380 and the gearbox went very notchy and crunched gear changes so I ordered mtf and it went back to normal

If I use ATF instead of MTF what could be the consequences if eny? .?

That's funny, there seems to be plenty of MTF 94 advertised for sale here in the UK, so it doesn't look like it's gone out of fashion just yet. Interestingly, whilst the old Difflock Evo overpriced transmission fluid seems to have diaappeared...

... the old gal did not get operated on today. Nil By Mouth since mid-morning but no chance to get done. Maybe tomorrow.. Wifey has been on tenterhooks all PM after they called her to discuss "options" and risks this afternoon. Another...

Td5 The spec says for MTF has more friction than ATF so I suppose that's the reason and the difference in them ?

A quote from another thread on LZ. "In a TD5, 2,500 cc, 5 cylinders, each cylinder is 500cc swept volume. If the compression ratio was 19 to 1, then the 500cc PLUS THE VOLUME OF THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER has to be squashed into a ninteteenth of the...

If the injector is direct, i.e. sits right in the cylinderhead above the piston, it should be possible to suck/pump any liquid out via a small bore tube, such as used in fish tank or windscreen washer applications. Once that's done, and you've...

Vehicle is being transported down over the weekend! I will then be looked at by someone with way more talent than I so 🤞🤞. Thank you all for input, it's greatly appreciated 👏

That's exactly how it feels!

Can you not just search for it with the SAE number? https://www.castrol.com/en_us/united-states/home/learn/car-maintenance/transmission-fluid-types.html To me it was always interesting that a Cortina 4 speed transmission ran on manual gearbox...

Have a read of this about someone who did it too. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/manually-turning-td5-engine-counter-clockwise.365176/ So it appears hydraulic lock is possible.

Yes all chinesium

Are you getting "Wisterical"?

This is exactly what my actual mechanic friend thinks is going on 🙈🙈

Nothing to lose by doing that, certainly. TBH the cylinder heads on these vehicles are so complex what with having all the injection gubbins in them, I'd also be giving the starter motor a large dose of looking at. Those sounds, cos to me there...

oops. I am not sufficiently "up" in these engines to know whether that could have done harm or not, hopefully others will pop on and tell you. But it is an unusual thing to be discussing, never seen it discussed to do with this engine or indeed...

Have thay changed the name for MTF oil having a problem getting it over here ?? Have searched the tinnet but no joy

No rest for the wicked Stan you should be used to it by now

Hope that works 🤞
