I had one of them when I was 10, sadly, I don't remember what happened to it.

The storage cubby above the radio pulls out (with care), then you can access the clock bulb.

+1 all I needed was axle stands when I changed the exhaust on mine.

Bosch Aerotwin, got a set for my Focus from Amazon £16.20, they're excellent.

Nice to see a V8 is still available and, no mention of EV.

When I had my 4.6, I didn't use it at lower speeds but at 80 it held steady, rarely used it though, wasn't very often I had traffic conditions to maintain a reasonable cruising speed.

Or, fails the MOT.:rolleyes:

Yeah, that is far too tight, it's a wonder it hadn't damaged the wheels let alone the nuts.:rolleyes:

They must have been circa 400nm, I can undo 120nm with one of them telescopic wheelbraces without too much straining.

Much better.:cool:

5 wheeler?:rolleyes:

I think I would replace all the nuts, to be overtightened to that extent can't have done em much good.

I remember "back inthe day" we never used torque wrenches on wheel nuts, just an extra "nip" on each nut, in all my years of driving and working on motors, I have Never had a wheel nut work loose but, I torque em now so, they are not overtightened.

I'm the opposite, which is why I usually torque smaller bolts, to prevent shearing them, all too easy to shear a 10mm bolt with a 1/2 drive ratchet, I don't torque drain plugs though, just a nip, so I can undo it next time.;)

Hand tight is enough for a rad drain plug, I've never used anything except a stubby screwdriver, on a slotted one.

Nice but, sadly I can't afford one at present.:(

I've thought of an easy way to check this, fold a piece of cardboard, an empty cereal box would do, so it stands an extra 50mm on top of the existing battery and, close the bonnet, if it doesn't crush it, then the MF31 1000 should fit.

That would be the least damaging, cheapest option.

Ah, that would explain the illusion, fingers crossed.
