Oh, so you are the Major Tom from the Dominatrix Required site.......

Happy Christmas folks and all the best in 2024!!! Can't believe I am saying that but let's hope for a better summer. Happy Christmas mate. Hope you and indeed everyone on the forum had a lovely Christmas Day. Hopefully I'll get B112 out of longterm hibernation for 2024.!!! :lol: Happy New Year to e...

DR???? Democratic Republic??? Drinking Responsibly??? Well, a year ago I was a member of a website with those initials. There was a moderator on there, one of the few members I miss talking to actually, and a favourite passtime of hers would be to create alt accounts on certain other websites and t...

I've cut down the amount of times that I will answer a post as four others come up with the same or a different answer every time. Well you can rest assured Paul that it will be your posts that many on here will be taking note of and valuing. I know that I do. Your time and effort is far from being...

Surely immersion heaters are still common??
Having said that I know most people under 30 have no idea how they work, but we aren't all totally useless

Still have the one of these my dad made me when I was younger! Currently sat in the shed and looking a bit sorry for itself but looks exactly like this one - plank of wood, pram wheels and the seat area was an old kitchen cabinet I'd hang onto it Danny, sometimes see them for sale at various vintag...

I've not seen anything in the way of rebuild kits for the racks, all we get offered over here is to buy reconditioned racks and you pay slightly less if you give them your old one in exchange

A mere 325 mile 7 hour round trip

Will keep an eye out though and see what pops up!

Have also just read in the Haynes about Head Removal - thank god it's a five minute job eh??

Not much you don't have to unplug or disconnect to get the bastad off by the looks of it

Cheers chaps All the exhaust valves had tightened up, inlets were fine so think it's time to bite the bullet. Pain in the arse though, CK in Wycombe have quoted £3-600 including new seats and valves but can't do it until New Year - just a pain in the balls that it comes when the other one is still b...

Happy birthday to our resident photographer!
Have a great day

Hi are you still looking for a v6 3000ltr flywheel I am shore I have a spare one Let me know if you are still looking for one thanks mark Hi there Tried sending you subsequent private message after your reply but seems to be stuck in my outbox?? So don't know if you received it? Messages stay in yo...

Braved the cold, took the rocker cover off and surprise surprise, exhaust valve on piston 4 is tight as you like. Couldn't feel my fingers after I'd got to that point so will go and adjust them all properly later, but reality is the head needs new seats so if anyone can recommend somewhere to get th...

It wasn't long ago that you did the clearances Danny was it - or was that the other car? If you check the clearances pay particular attention to the exhaust valve clearance on the duffy cylinders - tightness could indicate that the valve seats are receding. To check the torque converter you need to...

First test earlier was to swap the spark plugs over, still did the exact same thing so can rule that out
Will try swapping the leads tomorrow, but think I already know the issue is the tappets

Could be a knackered torque converter, I have seen C3 converters drag an engine down when they are past there best. How many miles on it? 89k miles Had a 'new' torque converter fitted about 6ish years ago, if it's fucked then no idea what to do as no one makes them anymore!! No they are not made ne...
