Looked at that, cant justify that sort of cost at the moment unfortunately.

Yeah, I think not. I like doing more than 45 mph sometimes

Good to have all the knowledge available on here, gives me assurance I'm doing the right things. Next job will be to give it a good service before the summer when it will get more use (only doing a couple of hundred miles a month mainly short journeys at the moment) I'll be asking which points...

theres ep90-gl4 and ep90-gl5, i used the ep90 gl4

It's like the antifreeze types as well, chances are it won't make much of a difference but why take a chance as the cost isn't much different

I I did see that gl4 or gl5, used 4

Yes, I did consider shoving some cooking oil in there but that's just as expensive

Flow chart for vehicle oil leaks Modern car owner: See oil on driveway, call garage book car in for repair, call company to come and clean drive. Classic car owner See spot of oil on garage floor, put on car club branded overalls, put groundsheet under car, put car on stands, degrease car to...

There's probably not a non messy way of doing it, so if they last a few uses your only adding a couple of quid per service

Decided to spend an afternoon changing oil in gear box etc. Probably been recommended before but I treated myself to a hilka oil suction gun, made filling much easier and slightly less messy, 10 quid in screwfix or slightly cheaper on amazon if you've got prime for the free delivery. Now my...

I remember the dyane, quite a few on the roads here when I was growing up. Always imagine the post war years, Britain we have loads of aircraft aluminium left and some willy's jeeps to copy . France we have loads of corrugated iron and walking stick handles, we can use the handles for the hand...

I'm sure all members will agree pictures now can be photoshopped so even with pictures, it didn't happen, I wasn't there, you can't blame me, I definitely didn't do it

Nice landy, welcome. When I was out in my series 3 yesterday I was waved at by someone in the classic French farmers vehicle, a 2cv. Good to see you bought the correct farm vehicle

Not yet need to have a lie down after opening the bonnet with the wheel on

So I spent this morning drilling holes in me bonnet From this To this: To this

I think it's an age thing, youngsters used to technology making decisions think "oh how clever and useful, my cars telling me it might be icy", us older folk think "my cars telling me its icy, I know it's ****ing icy, I've slipped twice getting to the ****ing car, scrapped ****ing ice of the...

It does get dirty, but it gets cleaned as well.

My tyres are 650 so might need the rubbers

For a deluxe bonnet you do the razor edge are lower and don't need it, this one's had one of before and has the strengthener underneath

So here's a pic of my bonnet, a rather sexy one, apart from 2 things, the 2 rubber grommets in the middle. Obviously previous owner didn't put the wheel mount back on when it was repainted and welded the rivet holes and put those grommets on the bolt holes which really annoys me. I see there...
