So far the mileage since coming out the garage has rolled over 70 miles. ........................................................... fucking hell! What is all the better is that I'm really starting to enjoy driving the car and want to go out in it. Especially as I am being to learn what is normal a...

Keep forgetting to go look for some of that! When restarting after filling up, I did get a little backfire. Startled a middle aged woman quite a bit! Warm starts do need a bit of throttle to get it going and it runs a bit grumpy for a little while. I guess that's the temperature compensators in thes...

"All new high tech machines like these robots" ... Which are Kuka, German made machinery. Interesting to note the heavy investment German industry has made into quality machine tools over the years. Much more than the UK.

Oh I forgot to mention that I'm still getting dripage out of the gearbox/flywheel area. Oil looks dirty though, so maybe it's just oil sitting in the bottom from where its leaked while sat stationary. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190518/51c16ebe069709491ad1b25dde0b07ca.jpg Also took my elderly...

Not sure if today was a success or not really. Apart from being another complete time thief. Also got a cold and feeling a bit crappy, so wasn't going that quick. Couldn't do the clutch master as I didn't have the copper washers, and I didn't want to risk it leaking then having to do it again. Why I...

LOL NOPE

This came today, ready to put my treat on that's been in a box for well over a year now. Car has been well behaved enough to justify it being fitted. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190517/85f0a4be039bec151db0410e5dd0c7a0.jpg Couldn't find any of the bolts with a suitable thread. These were the c...

The biggest problem with that system is having the control on the passenger side. Every child under 12 will be pushing it multiple times as soon as the driver disembarks, wasting grease and getting it all over the driveway. Speaking of grease points, I found another one on my BGT that I didn't even ...

Many places still seems to sell 20w-50, even in Wilko they've started stocking the metal tins classic oil. I don't think their plastic bottle stuff is "classic friendly" though - i.e. it's likely low ZDDP. The plastic bottle stuff is probably more for your rusty fucked Ford Ka. Parts wise ...

After that, I packed my tools in the boot and went for another pleasant drive. A total of 50 miles this year...! ........................................................... fucking hell! I even managed to roll over a hundreds digit! Second time in my nearly two years ownership and also 16-17 years ...
