!st clip will be H&S - they won`t be able to pursue in case the poor (vulnerable) biker injures himself... Demonstrates that there`s a generation/demographic with no fear of, or respect for, authority of any kind.
2nd clip is an example of just why MOTs are so important.

I know the car you mean, don`t think it`s been in yet, pretty sure I`ve not missed any.

Although Rimmer Bros were dearer than other specialists when I was looking for Stag parts last year! I guess even at this level you pay for the name: Rimmer Bros, Burton, they are the big names in their field, plus they have vast ranges of parts, greater than other suppliers, so that has to be paid...

Got it! I tried all different searches to no avail - then I searched for the LR part no and it seems you`re spot on
search.php?keywords=LR058466

There was something about the LR wiper covers but I can`t remember where I saw it now. I think you`re right though.

I , as a motorcyclist of 50 odd years , would not do what the biker did for the same reason I wouldnt just shove in at the head of the que at the supermarket . I also dont ride up between lanes of traffic not only coz it rude but also damn dangerous Agreed. They pulled in front, blocking him, then ...

Oh dear God - no!!!

My original 1969 Ford workshop manual states it has a `Ford distributor and spark plugs` which I guess is Motorcraft (no Bosch) and it gives one figure for gap, .025" Same as the Motorcraft in later models. If you change the gap even slightly you will change the timing quite a lot which may mak...

To be fair that`s a common mistake. Another is Emphysemia

Bit of overkill but if you`re prepaed to do a bit of wiring, you could replace the relay with something like this for a fiver (???) and give you adjustable time. Set it up then put away under the dash? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253632542177?hash=item3b0dad75e1:g:8AEAAOSwqoZa88G0&amdata=enc%3AAQ...

even if someone thinks there is magic mushroom dust from Mars in it that will turn us all into space cabbages, if that's what they believe, we have to accept it and let them make their decision, Isn`t that why we have section 135? Seriously though, how far do you extend that acceptance? Preaching 7...

Apologies for being pedantic but I think you`ll find 1200 x 52 = 62400 / 67000000 = .001 not .001% ? So 1 in a thousand which IS more significant/worrying. I blame 5G....

If you cut right at the union you`ll only lose 1/2" of pipe at the most so it shouldn`t be a problem ( assuming the pipe doesn`t travel in a straight line F - C, they`re usually a bit of an `S`which gives a bit of leeway)

Pbar,
I`d say as long as theyre proper unions it shouldn`t be an issue. But wouldn`t it be just as easy, and neater, to just make up a new pipe, on the bench rather than doing in-situ? (But then, I do appreciate that depends on what the other ends like.)

Hello. I`ve personally never heard of that method so can`t comment. You can put a piece of thin polythene or silmilar between the reservoir and cap (which has a tiny air hole). This will create a partial vacuum and shuld limit fluid loss to just a few drops - the less air in the reservoir the better...

I tend to think this may be a one-off as I think we`d have heard more such tales? (it was `kept quiet` - yet this guy knows all about it???) I know lead acid batteries cannot be recovered if left discharged for significant periods, but Lithium systems are usually much more sophisticated and incorpor...

Justifiably proud, it`s a gorgeous car! Love the color.

just a thought , I know it would cause some `collateral damage` but could you not use a fine cutting disc (ideally a dremel) to cut a slot in the tap, enough to ease it out with an impact driver? You can always fill any cuts in surrrounding area with filler/paint afterwards.

Thats really interesting, I`d no idea such a tool existed! You live and learn. Although with a 6mm tap you won`t have a lot of material to work with.... Can you heat it first to loosen it?

I also find Plus Gas the best penetrating oil, Amazon still sell it:
