Galvanised clout nails.

Two resistors in a circuit won’t cause any issues but the ones you have fitted will indeed have their own individual resistance. If the one on the bulkhead fails you probably won’t even notice. They will burn out eventually but will be good for years if your lucky enough to have had four good...

They are low voltage, high amps. If you put a multimeter over the battery it only drops a couple of volts when engaged. The modern glow plug has a built in resistor as opposed to the old bulkhead circuit unit. They will burn out eventually like a cooker ring but not under normal use. 30 seconds...

Nothing but a tease. You can’t go dangling such offers willy nilly. 🫣

Unopened 🤔 Still in date?

Could have destroyed the crank. I’d be having a look.

Made me larf when taking my PSV. One of the practice videos was a long straight road going down a dip and up the other side with a bin wagon at the top of the hill with its beacons on. I hit the mouse immediately. The instructor scolded me for pressing too soon at the hazard telling me I had to...

OK. You win. £20 including postage, packaging and a signed photo of yours truly on his latest television appearance for tribute shots.

Yep. Use a slightly heavier paper than for traditional finishing to maximise the key. Just get it sealed from the air within an hour. Aluminium begins oxidising immediately and the longer you leave it exposed the harder it is to paint. To the point you’d have to T wash it again.

If paint has managed to stay stuck to the aluminium then it’s unlikely it will fall away now. It depends how much original paint remains. I’d be tempted to try and keep it if it was mostly sound but once you’ve got the grot off it could be compromised anyway. You need an etch primer on bare...

Thinking timing train in order of probability…. If all the followers are goosed then the issue would be more likely before that. Wheels? If all those are goosed probably before that. Cam? If it was new and a good make I’d be looking at cam bearings and timing. Can’t believe an engineer would...

Not having hazard warning lights I carry a battery one just in case. I’d only use it if I broke down in a dangerous place like round a blind bend and probably only at night. It gives me the advantage of moving it away from the heap pre warning approaching idiots.

It would be against all available advice for one. Do let us know how it went though.

I cut out the middle man these days and go straight for mayonnaise. 😳

They sweat oil naturally 😂

20% duck fat and 50% lard. The other 30% can be anything as it ends up on the drive anyway. 🤣😂🤣 Good old mineral oil is best. The modern stuff is too thin and sneaks past the seals. 👍

You’ll get a couple of years out of an adjustment. Probably more with low mileage. Always worth new quality timing gear though when not sure of its history.

He’s been to the same gay pride parade.

Ideal for an eight by eight. 😳

Set your tappets first. Properly. 👍 Even that could cure your smoke. If they have been set with feeler gauges and there is a cup in the rocker (they are not the hardest ever made) the feeler gauges will bridge the cup and when running will be travelling far too much. A cheap magnetic dial...
