Re: CAR SOS new seies

Au contraire! I can put up with Mike Brewer, who is just doing what he knows best. He doesn't try to be "clever" or "funny", nor does he create such embarrasing situations like Tim, in the E type and other episodes. Although I am sure he would never say, I wonder what Fuzz's real opinion is of Tim? ...

Re: Wolseley 16/60 temperature reading problem

Should it be of interest, I rebuild these using quality electronics, not like the Mickey Mouse Chinese SMD types. £14 exchange, or (preferably) send me yours to do.

They are tested at 500mA for an hour and will survive up to around an Amp for short periods.

Re: Worst car in the world.

I But thinking about the design a front wheel drive 3 wheeler is safer than a Robin, not sure why, call it mechanics intuition. More like blind bigotry I would say.

Not quite. His big mistake was in effect, to contract with them. By suing them, he admitted liability for the charge, then it was just a matter of the amount. So up to now, it has been unlawful for disproportionate charges to be levied, but the appeal court judges who don't live in our world conside...

Re: A happy visit to the post office....

Why would the snares of private parking parasites worry you one jot? No private concern is legally entitled to issue fines. All that they can do is to send you a speculative invoice. This will not be a VAT invoice either, so not valid even if the charge was realistic. If you get one of their pseudo ...

Re: Spade connectors

^^^^^ WSS, and don't forget to drill the tiny hole in each end and file down a wider piece so that the bar across the middle can be replicated. But seriously, it would be cheaper to buy the XX connectors - even at the Halfords - than to make your own unless your time is worth less than minimum wage...

Fuel tank breather blocked? Open the cap when it packs up and you might get a whoosh as the air rushes in.
