Wifey is a bit miffed. :mad: It seems at first glance that due to some unfortunate oversight by "others" I have been omitted from the funeral guest list. She has raised this matter with the cabal led by her brother that has been making the...

no need. Head bolts should be re placed.

Springs should be fine, replace the bolts with new.

But are the drive shafts the same as the diesel may produce more torque and so have heftier half shafts.

There is owt for nowt in this life. Gears as you obviously know are torque multipliers, witness how little strain is put on the engine in low range. Taller gearing will reduce the revs at any given speed but the trade off is that more torque is...

Would be intrigued to no what the problem with water was in the basement ? Just so I can get some sleep tonight 😮

True although the seats on the journey Bournemuff - Carcassonne are very cheap! We cannot knock the convenience though. Carcassonne is only 45 mins from here and Hurn Airport only about 10 minutes from our home address. Failing that it is...

Hope all go's well , Ryan air are a right pain these days and bump the cost up at peak times

Question 1, does your Td5 already have AC? Question 2 what makes you think you need extra cooling? I have a TD5 and use it to do heavy towing including up the Massif Central, and it is totally standard, never a whisper of an overheaing problem...

You may well find you make your car go better and more economically simply by changing the exhaust. I did that to my D1 300tdi, it certainly gave it more low down torque and the mpg was the same or better. As I was going to do a lot of heavy...

I don't think you were directly insulting but I think you did made insulting comments about me to others that I could see. But there are a lot of people commenting here and I haven't really kept a track record of the level of rudeness of...

Also, re the "no one modifies cars"". Well loads do, I for one seemingly never stop doing it, but then I did run a Kit car club and there is little more modded than that except perhaps Rods and Customs.

Yes but Grrrr remeber he doesn't care about fuel economy.

You asked if it was crazy. Until you have actually fitted them and driven them you still do not actually "know" the answer to your original question, and I don't remember throwing any insults at you either, maybe you could quote my insults. The...

I doubt that we'd still be on here if we had thin skins. I can vouch for many on here that they really don't! My logic is pretty sound and you still haven't logically answered my last point! This thread may now be moved to AG as it has gone more...

if you guys didn't have such thin skins you wouldn't have thrown out so many insults that I have been laughing at. And because I have been laughing at them I don't have a thin skin. Maybe logic is not your strong point.

Some remain on here an amazingly long time, I could think of a few, but then maybe they just like an argument that they are never going to win, just for the sake of it!

Most of the "thin skin peeps" don't last this long !!

So is his actual question about getting them, or fitting them, or running with them? Even he doesn't seem to know!!!! I think he is up with a few others though on the "Do I have the thinnest skin on LZ?" question!!!

Actually I just got my answer 15 minutes ago. So your 1000 to 1 book is pretty funny. I should've taken the odds.

Well that'll teach me to post to you as I have done. Those who know me well on here will admit that I often make mistakes and usually admit to them. It could still be a crazy idea, fitting them may not be, but using them might be. So you...

That's exactly what we did, but it is still 4 flights, if I was a pedant!!! So yes, like last year where she had to fly back for just a 20 minute chat, it is happening while we are here. You don't mess with the NHS! Thanks for the good wishes...

Shirely it would have been easier to book 2 return flights🤔. So is this all supposed to happen while you are in France? cos that dont make it easy. Hope it goes well and its sorted this time. J

Sympathise re the coving. I once bought the plaster stuff as I wanted to paint over it in gloss paint. The room had a bay window with 3 panes so lots of awkward angles to cut. By the end I had inches to spare and had to make the last piece up...

Afternoon folks :). Been a while for comment, but bin watching you all;). Been putting up coving in the "east wing" We had a bit of a melt down that we dont have enough coving to do the 2 areas left:eek:, Of course we cant get it anymore which...

No you didn't he hasn't actually fitted it so he didn't answer your question. As I've been pretty friendly and non-dismissive towards you so far in this thread, albeit tinged with a little gentle humour, I think your answer it a little "orff"...

Time we opened a book on this. My odds on anyone on LZ knowing the answer to this exact question..... 1000 to 1. I reckon 157,213 to 1 assuming only one member knows the answer, and the OP will know one day. Or should that be 157,214 to 2 ❓

OK, there is a tiny chance you may be right, but then again, can you be assed to wait? Time we opened a book on this. My odds on anyone on LZ knowing the answer to this exact question..... 1000 to 1. Any takers???;););)

Yes, Kiddo!!!🤣🤣🤣
