Could it be that all of the erroneous pictures are part of the same error, in which case, it would only be one foul up rather than one per image? ;) And of course Practical never makes any errors. :lol: Yes I see what you mean - the whole page is probably a copy from a previous issue (although I ha...

My subscription copy of Classics Monthly arrived a couple of days ago. On the 'Workshop' pages there is an article about overhauling brake calipers with lots of photos - all OK up to number 18 . . . . . then photo 19 (on page 75) which is about fitting dust seals clearly shows a carburettor being re...

Got called out a few years back to my sons mark 3 Escort that went up in smoke (thought to be the clutch burnt out). I could see the black smoke rising from a couple of miles away and by the time I got there the Fire Brigade had the fire out and 80% of the car had gone - just the rear tyres and boot...

I favour whipping them on their bare arses with rolled up 1960s editions of Motorsport. :evil: I must avoid reading your posts at work whilst drinking tea at my desktop PC - just had to mop the keyboard and clean the screen - the rest of the staff thought I was having a seizure :o Glad you liked my...

I know why they blew. I had been towing my car transporter trailer and I have put extra lights on the side of it. Obviously too electrical much load. They will be rewired through a relay next week. Had similar with my Ford Kuga - towing caravan (sorry :roll: ) on holiday and realised by the way the...
