I’m definitely going to look at where I can fit it - steady guys, i said fit it, not put it!

That’s brilliant. If I had not put my transmission oil cooler in the same place i’d have a go at that.

I wish you’d said this 10 days ago. I’d have gone for that. I still might though.

yup. but howl much of that was in the Welsh mountains on rocky green lanes?

Thanks, that’s really helpful. I think my towing hitch extends further out than normal and I was wondering if I could modify a bike rack or similar that fits on the hitch.

That’s a brilliant thread! Nice looking motor too. I’ll be on that now.

Wow. That’s exactly the thing - just about 4 times more than I was hoping to pay. Thanks.

Hmm, use an ordinary spare like a space saver - That’s not a bad idea!

Me too - well - 40 years, can’t remember the last time i got a flat in ordinary driving. However, I have shredded two tyres off road where you frequently encounter sharp rocks for miles on end. I think one of us gets a flat on almost every trip where there are 6 cars - and often side wall, in...

They might where you are driving on ordinary roads - and on local journeys I don’t - but off road is a different kettle of fish.

Thanks. Good suggestion. I’ll look at that.

Although maybe i can stand it up on its side… I’ll try that.

Could do, but it takes up almost the entire boot leaving no room for camping gear, tools, etc.

Hi all, so many of you will know that I recently - ’upgraded’ - my tyres to 33”. Great I hear you say, prat I also hear you say. Your gearing won’t work, speedo problems, yada yada yada. I don’t remember any one telling me that my spare tyre would no longer fit in the wheel well in the boot...

Thanks Mark.

I might be next in line!

Looks good.

Now that’s enigmatic Mark - what are they?

I have ordered, off the bay of e, a replacement block and pump, so when that arrives i’ll replace the current block and then refurbish it. I’ll let you know how i get on. Any special advice for anything i should look out for while replacing the block?

Ooh. That’s also very useful to know. Thanks @Flossie and @Datatek
