Poirot is the best. ;)

I don't know Cadfael. Looks like it was here only on DVD from 2010, but it has very good rating.

Actually Hercule Poirot confirms that it is not the scam. :)

Re: Radiator/expansion tank cap

Did you buy one, Tom? https://i.postimg.cc/dtLFnPK5/WP-20240217-15-42-14-Pro.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/9QHWf8v1/WP-20240217-15-42-26-Pro.jpg I compared the ERS 34 to the aftermarket one on my car, and it's identical in every single dimension. They are both rated at 13 psi. I just can't see a reason ...

Not quite, these are custom display cases but they show which 1.18 scale Professionals cars are available first.
I see! ;)
This is all MCG 1/18?

I wouldn't have thought that anybody actually believes the blagging of parts and services to be genuine. Why even have it in the show?

Andrew.
:agree: It's a waste of viewing time that could show mechanical works that most of us want to see.
:agree: too!

Re: Radiator/expansion tank cap

78GB-8100-AA (ERB 34) Surely the `78gb` is the model year for which the part was introduced/modified, so to say "Don't use on Ford cars after 05/1979" seems contradictory? Do not use before would make more sense. If Andrew says it`s the same I wouldn`t worry. Yes, I try it. ;) But it's st...

Did you buy one, Tom? I compared the ERS 34 to the aftermarket one on my car, and it's identical in every single dimension. They are both rated at 13 psi. I just can't see a reason why it can't be used on the 2.8. After all, it is made to West German specification and it doesn't get more precise th...
