We buy barometers every now and then in mixed lots from auctions and sometimes because we like the look of them. Of all the ones we have, about 5, only one works. And we took one that we really like to a specialist to fix, he charged us £100 and...

Nope!! Just adding another Fl2

@WhiskyLassie might be disposing of one of her funnycars soon?

Great news DG. Now stop muckin about an get another Landy, ok?

We had another friend, OldSeaDog. He was Tyneside way iirc. Quite impenetrable until you spoke his words out loud, or out loud in your head. Great guy and sorely missed.

A powered finger file is your friend to grind off the heads off the bolts. Unless they've been removed already sometime recently the heads will chew off and you have no hope of getting them out.

Now you've jinxed it

Or ATF and acetone, as professed by quite a few including the Repair Shop! Should be quicker than a week!;)

Put it in a press, as long as the end of the thread is protected it should push out. If you deform it, it's a new Cv joint 👍

Thank you for replies will get my son to swing hammer, but as I have always been as gentle as possible with my RR I felt it would pay me back for abusing it,I have had from 3000 miles with only silly things going wrong 🥹people say I’m lucky

Hi ever one not been on for quite awhile I’m getting a bit older but still got my old 2005 RR v8 still on road don’t drive it much now but as usual has to have mot my last mot couple of advises of front brake flexes and ace boot decided to get...

Fantastic news. Very pleased for you indeed. Congrats! :D

Back from the show. The club was well represented with at least 13 cars on display. The organisers goofed and some were placed away from the main group. But overall it was a great show. This is one of the club member's cars. A classic with a...

Well done that man good news for a change beat the b---- 🎉

Us boys praaper appi yerv troyed. Laife be gude, grate tu zee yer agen!

Do what the other old person said , throw it out of the window and shout at it "Look for yourself you *******!" 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Try reading it aloud, I sumtoimes avtu!!

I think this is good. I haven't done the wurzle translate on Duolingo yet. 🤣

Please 🙏

Looks nice BUT there are rules regarding selling/adverts especially being your first post, apparently. Rules in relevant section.

Great!! Seriously happy for you! :) :) :)

I’ve no doubt of it. The cancer department here is first rate and they keep their eyes on patients all the time!

----- and there's another one under the bracket at the top right in the photo. And protect those cables from moving parts.

Start by removing the screwdriver bit jammed under the hand brake adjuster nut.

Is that a filter in the brake reservoir or has it been filled with tomato soup? 😃

I've never done with with brakes, only on a clutch on an old Peugeot that was very difficult to do, but I think it would work. I got a length of hose that was secure on the bleed nipple but long enough to run all the way back to the fluid...

Or the very simple rubber tube with the bolt in the far end and the slit in the side. Cost peanuts and I use them all the time, I have even made one when I couldn't get one. Eezibleed is an oxymoron. Gave up on mine when it refused to work but...

Never had any success with that methond on any car. 2 person method for me is: 1) open bleed valve & assistant pushes pedal steadily to floor & hold. 2) close bleed valve & assistant releases pedal. 3) repeat 1 & 2 until no bubbles on fluid...

None other than, yep, put new cylinders on. If not properly bled the air in them, which contains water vapour, adds to any rust problem. Also they work over such a tiny distance that even if you take them apart and hone them, they often simply...

It's me again! Finally managed to find the courage to look at the rear brakes... I hate drums. Found that the wheel cylinders feel like sh*te and don't return when pressed, they go no pressure from the pedal until about 3/4 the way down the...
