Need to translate that for me would get the cane for writing like that in my school days

But good in the wind 👌

edit that for you 😂😂

Showing your young years now

38deg in the shade stuck it out till 2,30 started to meltdown so!!!!!!!!!

bush fire now supposedly under control, but still burning. Awful. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm2vk4xl204o

I must admit that if it had been me I would maybe have done both of these but I would have done them one at a time to see which had the effect. Predetonation I would have imagined coming from the timing being slightly too advanced, yet you have...

Only in France could there be a row about making mineral water cleaner and purer, by NOT sticking chemicals into it. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cyvn3qe0jpgo

Reinsurance, professional warping! And according to Murphy's Law the necessary tool and the original bolts arrived today,:(:mad: ... three days after the repair .... "telle est la vie"

...that like the Chinese said about the success of the French revolution on its 200th anniversary "It is maybe too early to tell"; but, since advancing the timing slightly and changing the 20w oil for 30w oil in the dashpot the mini has not had...

Ma hippo's excited about im being due an mot. Was going to call em today to see if there be any spare slots. Fell er sheep instead.

Dun't kid yerself. The one in ere about askin if others also play r2 to their rust wurm, to stop them feeding on their hesps, wassa gem.

No. Just a lie down wiv me old wukkin coat on to sweat out the shivers and tempreture.

Should have pointed out that each time the dodgy vertebra was in my neck.

Cars I drove when I first started driving never had synchro on 1st. And were often worn in 2nd. I was taught to take it from first then pause in neutral then put it in 2nd. In fact you should do that in all gear changes to allow the synchromesh...

It's just the way the synchro design is, with wear it's exacerbated, and really high mileage i think double de clutching works wonders. I do it on mine sometimes, even though it's not required, because it snicks in so much more nicely. I also use...

Synchros wear with use and age, but the boxes are always been of a design where a slower gear change than your normal car is required.

+1 ^

If you do the gear change nice and slow it allows the synchros, which may be slightly worn, to disengage and engage. You cannot do quick snatch gear changes on any older landrover gearbox. And change from first to second almost as soon as the...

Mine is running rough, have changed the injector seals and washers all original new fuel pump Continental, new injector harness. No leaks at the FPR, checked the wastegate seems fine, had a new filter head about 6 months ago, changed the fuel...

Does it do it when you rev it standing still, or only under load? Just wondering if it may be worth fitting a gravity tank, but obvs that wouldn't supply very high pressure. You said you only had a limited diagnosis thing look at it, have you...

It is a shame, despite everything, I still like the car and want it back on (and off) the road. It deserves it. Having now finally sorted the Disco 4s suspension (🤞), I'll turn my attention back to it and have another fiddle. You never know...

It does look lovely! I'm a wee bit jealous as I never took mine to a show although I/we was/were always taking our kit cars to shows. Every time I see one like yours it make me want to get another one. I then have to give myself a severe...

I shall be going to a country show/mini show at Hedingham Castle on Sunday. :D My sister who only this week asked to come and stay for the weekend so I cancelled my attendance at the show has now called to say she got all her dates all wrong...

Just took delivery of my new (to me) tent. It weighs a ton. Can only just lift the bag with the canvas in. Tis a proper Dutch canvas tent. Walk in height 2m, peak height 2.35m. Will have to put it up at the weekend.

Any fred in the Freelander section will do. They talk more rubbish than us :p

Has you had a rub down then..?

Eye is feeling betterer now.

I'd advise a chiropractor, seeing as I once had shoulder pain. Went to three GPs who each gave me a different diagnosis and a different advised course of treatment. Being a doctor's son I knew that none of them had a clue. Was then recommended a...

Dan sent me a link to the massage par place he goes to. May go iffit continues.
