Afternoon bloomin hot Deciding on what colour to paint my trailer wheels Trailer is white with a black chassis and white wheels at the moment (pic to follow) Any suggestions, ideas, warnings appreciated.

I see your tablets aren't working, maybe need something a bit stronger :p

Congrats. mine passed last week, :)

Ma hippo passed his mot. Normally when he goes up on the lift he leaves a little puddle ont floor but not this time. Must be gerrin used to heights.

I was just going to say that a mate had a stainless V8 RR system crack on him, in several places. He drilled the ends to stop them spreading then got me to come over and weld them up with my stainless mig wire. Took the whole system off the car...

That can be TIG'd cant it ?

So, no news?

Guess what? I have just discovered that they only made 10 variations of the locking wheel nuts on Discovery 2s! EDIT. discovered this yessdi, and posted about it in another fred. At length. Havent yet seen a reply from the blokey although I...

Afternoon folks:). Still ott here although today is a little cooler, pool is still wet:D. Been painting the "east wing" on the final coat of colour tomorrow, then I will need to asess electrics needed and pop into the big town for supplies. We...

So you wont be buying it then @DanClarke ? If its a detached plot new developer could get 2 houses on it and it could still be worth a fair bit. My Dad and Uncles sold their Garage to a property developer as it was worth more for houses than a...

...that I feel wholly vindicated on several fronts. "We" (wife & I) have come in for criticism on how we have approached the obtaining of probate on the late MIL's estate. The criticism comes from other "executors" named in the old gals will who...

Morning All. :D We have G-kids for the whole week! Deep joy. I may escape shopping today and remain here to supervise them. :) Going to be a tad warm I think. Have a great day! :D

Don’t forget banging their nose hard into the piers too

Ooo has it got that nice brown interior?

no a horrible light gray covered in years of dirt

ive watched with interest since ive just layed hands on a mk1 austin, lots of welding before i even look at the engine

If you cant see it dont "assume" it comes out of that pipe ;). If you are on your own just tape a couple of little ziploc bags/ballons/ condoms over each end then you will know which way the fuel is flowing. J

Can we confirm that you havent done anything recently? In your pic you show a disconnected Plastic/nylon pipe, so I assume you mean fuel comes out at that point, but which side? carb side or pipe? To me that is the return so the fuel should come...

Me too, but it looks like you are going for a strip down and clean up anyway, rather than just getting them working quickly. I just hope that your work with taking them to bitz and ultrasonically cleaning them doesn't end up with you having to...

That's the problem with this type of carb. As you can see from the photo, the float chambers are the concentric (to the main jet) type and there's not enough clearance to remove them separately. I prefer the older design with the float mounted...

They is gerrin their own back. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx299eyg7qko

Nah. Eye is going wiv Magnus on Norflink Ferrys. A propper reputable company. Edit: owned by Serco. Assume its thems who are crittysized fer running prisons like sinking ships.

I looked at it and thought, "This isn't its first rodeo!" 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

It looks pretty knackered anyway, I wouldn't risk using them again even if I had the socket to remove it.

I don't think he'll be able to tell without taking them off. As they are right on the bottom of the carbs. I think!

Ah yes. I missed that! Then is the fuel bowl full?

Think he's got that T-shirt!

Thanks for the tips and suggestions, everyone. I've since checked out on the price of exchange units and they're obscenely expensive, so it's going to have to come down to a strip down and rebuild instead. Yes, their operation is certainly...

It's only been 2? weeks so couldn't be anything major if they were ok before. Crack loose the fuel feed, and see if any fuel comes out
