Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances

Wouldn't this be more your thing? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165876250937 No LPG but plenty of room to put the tank. Weird to see one in RHD It would but I'm trying to find something a little more economical to run than the Maverick we have at the moment. There's also another RHD blazer for sale fo...

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances

If it's done that mileage on gas and it's still running on 4 I'd say that one is ok, it's probably got a flash lube kit for to stop valve seat recession.

I know several people on here have had them, do they have a known failure leading to pissing oil out?

Re: Pug 107, citroen relay and '54 tt quattro

Trade engineering. If in doubt, put some more wood screws into it. Plasterboard screws, wood screws are too expensive! Yeah but then you have to cope with shitty little shards of metal stuck in your hands for the rest of the day, hateful fucking things. Half a day wasted on Friday sorting out a new...

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances

What are the collective thoughts about this please? Just got a clear MOT except for a fall on the excessive oil leak.

Re: 1968 MG Midget

My dad has a spot welder, it's lovely to use when: You can get the sodding thing in position You aren't knackered from holding it there Everything is lovely and clean and the metal is consistent thicknesses, Will do a lovely weld under those circumstances The rest of the time it's bloody awkward and...

Re: Two wheels are better* than four

How much is that without papers then? If they are still in the £50 price range and you can get it out of the country I'm pretty sure some hipster here would give strong money for it, aren't there some weird rules about what you can ride as a bicycle or something in Spain? I remember a friend out th...

Re: EBay Finds

I looked at one of those just the other day here in its home country. Would have been fine if it was just like the description I was given of it. But it was a shed, and with no documents. This looks a good project IF you can get spare parts for it. At least it is running. Have you ever come across ...
