Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances
These have a reputation for doing oil control rings don't they? Once replaced they don't do it again. IF I'm thinking of the right engine.

Re: What did you do today?
Did you have to sump up much for it? Oh dear... It's was £80. He said it was more difficult than he thought so if I, or anyone, needs another it'd be double. Pretty good price I'd say. I paid £20 to get a hole in an ali sump welded up & it was a tiny hole. He said when I went to get it can't th...

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances
