Yer lose a bit of mpg with an auto but yer dun't need to do a clutch change. So it balances out on cost. Sliping a clutch when pulling away towing up a slope or oft road... yer can sometimes smell the clutch. Auto gets round this.

Forum rules state no swearing outside of the Anything Goes section. That includes hiding it like changing a S to a 5.

Mon vieux, pourquoi citez-vous mes messages d'il y a cinq ans? C'est une facon bizarre de commencer votre parcours sur ce site. Bienvenu au forum , maintenant peut-etre pourriez-vous aller a la section "Introduce yourself", et le faire??

It'd be interesting to know what sort of air filter combo you have on at the mo. I think I ran a K&N with mine. Talking of miles, it is frightening to realise that, at 4000 miles per year roughly, for the Disco insurance will cost me 10.3 odd...

Here is another tool that will help https://www.123catalogue.fr/outils/kg-en-lbs

Well, yes and no. Maybe reasonable miles and frequent changes. Also looking for a more appropriate airbox/filter combo to try and keep the induction noise down a bit because it is simply monstrous as it is. :D

Use bathroom silicone not insulting tape ...

Straightened out that bit of galvanised steel from the trailer. Managed to do it without breaking the plastic. Couldn't find my heat gun so had to use the garage hairdryer, (No I is not a gaylander driver, I just happens to have one in there...

Well that is deffo a better price. Looking forward to doing a lot of miles in it over the coming years then? 🤣 🤣 🤣

.... best laid plans and all that. No Hail-Frauds did not have the oil I ordered either and it won't be here till next week. :( Interestingly, I found a different purveyor of high-Zinc 20/50 at not £30/5Ltrs but £79 for 20Ltrs. I may cancel the...

Wooden seat from a tratter. Delux model.

Let's hear it for new starters to our fine Landyzone College, outside Upper Follox, Maiden Hill, Upshire. Each new student, will learn from day one of skills accumulated of eons since blessed "48". Our Motto shouted proudly "From the Beach to the...

Morning, it's a great day to be breathing!

Morning All. :D Very cool here too! :( Got the hell-spawn here, they never stop nattering. :( Have a good day. :D

-2° out side this morning, bright though.

I think ive asked my mum for money once since ive been an adult, when I had lost my job & place to live. I had not a pot to pee in. Slept in the streets for a few nights with not much to eat. I asked her for bus fare to come home. Not asked for...

Misses has decided she wants to move all the furniture about in the living room bye then.........:rolleyes:

I throw all my dog poo in the bin & they take it away then make freelanders out of it 🤣🤣

Looks nice well done....fixed it for you tho 🤣 🤣

FL2 auto will be better for towing than a manual.

Delete the swearing. Its not allowd outside of AG.

Love it!!!!! Especially the fact that you don't have an "old can". What is worrying me is that you didn't have "sump plug key" on your shopping list. Cannot for the life of me remember what sort is needed for a Mini. Just checked 15/16 socket...

Eye give my old engine oil to tratterers. No eye-dear wot they do wivvit.

Yes, I know simpler things can suffice, but the catch-can + storage container (all in 1) will work for me getting the oil down to the tip to dispose of the used oil into their big vat thing. Yes to old cans being used once I have an "old-can". :)

...I say chaps and chapesses..... Guess who gets to look after his grandkid's while his son & partner go off to San-Fran for the Game Developers Conference next week? Yup! Me-N'er. Aren't we lucky? We get to rise at 07:30 to get them ready for...

So this is what I have been playing with a bit this arvo. The result of an "accrochage" as we were leaving to come home last September. Flipping annoying as the trailer onl;y gets used about 4 days a year. We had driven to the village and had...

As usual should have read to the end of the fred!!
