Day two

Jeez! Really?

I take it all your paint has dried?

I'm going to assume you have already checked the fuse?
Have you tried popping the switch out, unplugging it and simply putting a wire across the two sockets on the plug?
If this works it's a simple switch change.

Well, you seem to have sown the seeds of a long discussion.
I'm sure there'll be a lot mower advice to come.

Although, with the current situation you should consider planting potatoes, carrots, cabbage etc instead.

Fair play to Burtons - even with everything happening they've still managed to get my order here in 48 hours!

Well, the roads are empty

Sober up enough to get it sorted then.

Let us know how you get on.

Think there should be bullet connectors in the loom on the inner wing near where they come through?

Been 20+ years since I did them though

Wow, thanks for all the tips guys, I’m currently in Africa and have been since the beginning of January, hopefully home by the end of April. I’m not being rude just don’t have access to internet or the car! I’ll be having another bash at it when I get home. Owen Hi Owen, thanks for the update. Hope...

I knew a bloke who cut a large bough off a tree in a churchyard and used that on his boat.
Whenever anyone asked what it was, he replied "Yew Anchor"

Somehow, in amongst all my ramblings, I forgot to point out that the only cure is a new set of followers! Before you do that, check the state of the cam lobes. Same principle as using old pads on new discs, don't do it. If the cam has wear it will very soon knacker your new followers, so in that ca...

Maybe he's flushed with his own success?

Oh, and new head bolts if they're the stretch type

I would have thought I would have seen it as well but I will bow to Truck and Tom's superior knowledge! The spring clip thing that holds the follower on was still there, but when I set the valve clearances it seemed quite loose so not sure if the spring/clip whatever is just a bit loose/old and nee...

You can leave out the beasts, b

Nah, you can leave `em in for me, I`m always curious.

So, as the topic seems to have wandered (even though I think my suggestion is valid) I have a question to ask:

Should I try flagellation, necrophilia and bestiality, or am i just flogging a dead horse

Am I right in thinking that the two on the other side of the car will rotate the opposite way and therefore should be called hurricanes???

This is regularly in my garden at present. Tempting!

I know a bloke who's a pheasant plucker

We're still working our way through the salmon before it goes out of date

Washing it down with the Prosecco we panic bought.

Did waste a bit though, when I spilt it getting into the hot tub.

I'm quite enjoying this isolation thing. Good food and no annoying company.

But when you're out for a drive and the car breaks down you will need to interact with the recovery service. God forbid, but if you had an accident, an overstretched NHS would have to deal with you. I acknowledge that we need to maintain our sanity but think very carefully before you potentially jeo...

From Martin on Facebook; Following on from last nights statement. There's no way that I consider myself a key worker so I will only be sending parts out in batches every few days or so while combining the journey to the workshop to do essential shopping. It is inevitable that deliveries will be del...

Hope you all have contingency plans for when your unleaded fuel goes stale and your cars won't run :roll: Well I had some crap old fuel left in my tank for 8 months and it ran fine. I even drained some off and compared it to some brand new fuel, it smelt less 'potent' and hadva slighly paler colour...
