Good news today. W is out of hopickle, by now, I assume as she said her dottir was coming to pick her up. Cut off the ends of the feathers on one wing each of the two escaping hens, and went round the enclosure pulling the netting up yet again and securing it. Hope that keeps the littl madams...

Can't open it without signing up.

Looks like fun! Didn't they once repair a table like that on Repair Shop? Or am I not the first to say this, having not yet read to the end of the thread today.

Glad I don't buy cars on finance, flipping robbers!!

Well in that case, he could remove the rocker arm and have at it/them on the bench. Once the nut is off he could use freeing off solution, like a mix of ATF and Acetone, or other freezing type stuff, or heat. Tapping the head of the screw, with the nut in place at the top to prevent damage to...

As it says in the text, even backed off to the max you will not be able to get them out that way due to the ball on the end. Only way is to take the rocker shaft off, remove the nuts and take them out once the shaft is upside down! It's all on page 2A.9 of the Haynes manual. Where it says to...

Well, as it says to replace them anyway, why not simply remove the rocker arm, and then discard the screws. replacing with new? while you are in there anyway.....

Two of our hens somehow managed to get through the fence I put up between us and the neebs two years or so. I had the devil's own job getting them back through. How the flip do they do it? Anyway, they cannot have found much worth eating over there cos as soon as I put them back in their...

And there was me thinking you did just that, under your kilt, of course!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Nice one!

It's got dark and I still haven't watered the polytunnel etc. And prolly 2 hens will have escaped as they seem to have watched Steve McQueen. so off out to do my dooty!!

After W was told she could leave hospital today, they have since changed their minds. She woke up to find herself being put on a drip. Bloods said she had "kidney malfunction". Course she does, silly person never drinks enough as she doesn't like having to go to the loo unexpectedly. Dottir...

Know the feeling. To say nothing of the fact that as a kit car bloke the number of spares you accumulate when stripping a donor, is insane. Looms, engine, gearboxes, cylinder heads, and of course tons of electrical stuff. I even have a back axle off a Cortina or Capri that has a better diff...

I also have brake pads, possibly bought in error. Really must learn to label things properly!!

Replaced the spark plug cap on the mowing machine. Starts and runs fine. But this arvo noticed that there are regular small spurts of flame out of the xhaust. (The heat/burn protection shield is off it at the mo having bust and me not having fixed it and put it back on, so it may have been doing...

Right guess it is time I left a bit of Grants in the bottle and wandered off to bed! Sleep tight all! 🤣 🤣

It is the sort of thing where, never having had them on the D1 nor on the D2, I don't miss them. I do have ACE, obvs, but shen it played up and I pulled the fuse I honestly couldn't tell the diff, even driving down the steep, twisty mountain road we have to use every time we go to the nearest...

I love that "down to" ! 🤣 🤣 🤣 I must admit I am a bit shocked it is only 2 landies. Looks like you really liked your fast Fords. You'd get on with my middle Son-in-law.. Although he is also into Morris Minor pickups! Anyway, she ought to have got what you were about. It is facinating how...

Have you tried squirting Eazistart, or the equivalent, into the air filter, or other part of the induction system then cranking to see of it starts?

You make me laugh. You say that you don't cook yet it sounds as if you once did. OK you cook on the BBQ, that goes with being a bloke, but does your missus know that you can knock up a smooth Bechamel sauce without turning a hair?? Better keep that quiet!! 🤣 🤣
