This thread is hilarious. Sooooo many people searching for a non-existent plenum thingy!!! Why don't people read a whole thread, it ain;t exzctly very long!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

On what is likely to be a final remark to do with this as I think you have got it aabout right now, this trubble you have had reminds me very vividly of the same trouble, sort of, that I had with W's Porsche copy kit car. The engine was a tuned 1800 version of a VW flat four aircooled. Built by...

So, up at dawn this morning to make a start on the apple harvest. Dreadful this year compared to last. We will get a fairish bit of juice but nowhere near the bumper crop we had last year. We still have stuff to spare in both countries. Good thing!! We have stopped now as the heat is starting...

I have to agree wholeheartedly with this. Trying to get perfection without an ECU etc is flipping impossible with a carb.

Did I? I thought I just said that I thought the rolling road guy was a cowboy. If he tunes engines as you say, then apart from the exhaust analyser, then he is doing it the same way as I would. I don't have a Snap-on strobe, my strobe is a Gunson one, but very good, and a Gunson general...

100 thou. So 1/10 of an inch. Without measuring it, just looking at by eye on your pic, that looks to me a bit more than that. Just saying. Have you actually measured it? And I am not sure who you are referring to, is it you, being ironic about yourself, or is it the rolling road, jockey? So I...

" it allows the synchros, which may be slightly worn, to disengage and engage." This is a bit mad, but I only learned the other day, and this is after having rebuilt a few gearboxes, :rolleyes: ,that the synchro rings do not stay stuck to the gear wheels once the change has been made, so they...

No, SW but far east corner of the TARN, touching on the Aude and the Herault. I'll have to look up 32! 🤣 Aha, the dept which contains the famous place Condom!! I think another member who lives over here may be a bit closer to you than we are.

https://www.connexionfrance.com/magazine/did-you-know-marrying-a-dead-person-is-possible-in-france/721409 The link, if you can open it shows an amazing right that French peeps have that no other country allows! and this is the wind that blows in our area...

Hi, which dept are you in? We are in 81, far south-east corner of. (Don't know much about Freelanders, we have Discos.)

So flipping hot here, stepping out of the house is like stepping into a sauna, and that is stepping into the shade.:)

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 advanced the timing but you have done that and it...

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

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 to synch the two gears. Double declutching does...

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 now got access to a better one? And have you tried...

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 talking-to!!:):):)

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 chiropractor by a colleague. He took a PROPER...
