nah , we give up on that last year .......the feckin cats wouldnt leave it alone , climbed it , knocked it over , chewed the wires for the lights , dug the dirt out of the bucket , pulled the tinsel off .

You gotta remove the steel sleeve . Grease up the bush on the outside on the leading end , position as shown and do up the nuts to put a bit of pressure on it , enough to start distorting the bush , then shove a screwdriver (greased ) down the side of the bush and into the hole in the tca....the ide...

Things have changed since I was young and was a great one for repairing stuff . Now Im thinking that if you can get a new one at a good price Id do that , specially if its got a few miles on it or its been sitting for a while unused. I dunno your situation there but a seal kit here is about $50 ,and...

Another thing that can happen is the rear seal in the cylinder can fail . This can be awkward as it usually sucks air in and doesnt actually leak fluid . Pita when trying to bleed as it sucks air in as fast as you can bleed it out at the other end . Not usually enough to cause complete failure but e...

I have a remote garage too, that now has a solar panel on the roof which charges 2x 7Ah Yuasa sealed lead acid batteries, these power the led lighting. If I`m storing a car for any time, but don`rt want to take the battery out, I just connect the battery to the solar panel and that will keep it top...

Yeah, I mean you`re right, there was no damage. In any case if it HAD set fire to the garage and blown up the car I`ve owned for 38 years they`re only things at the end of the day aren`t they? Really I should just let them have their fun and shut the fuck up shouldn`t I ? Absolutely done! :lol: , i...

I do like watching a normal sort of guy doing this stuff ........not at all like the hyped up bullshit vids from ........you know where

Was there any damage to property ? Did anyone get injured ( other than the usual liver damage )?. Sure some pets aint big on fireworks but they dont like the lawn mower , chainsaw or line trimmers either . Cats find somewhere to hide , dog should be put inside and the girl over the road moves her ho...

Nah, it`s quite a poplar pastime here. Although I can see why you might get a bit sycamore puns?

yeah , that one was pretty good.........the rest .....not so much

You guys must be #ucking board

I can remember Dad moaning when petrol hit 26 cents a gallon here . He had a 308 ci V8 car that held 16 gallons ......very early 70s Fuel prices here can be a bit weird , $2.29 per litre in Gore ( at Gull ) and at the other end of Gore its $2.69 ( caltex ).....less than 2 ks away. My car holds 60l ....

Between my home and my parents home there is this bit of road called the Crown Range , I believe its NZ's highest alpine pass , basically between lakes Wanaka and Whakatipu . Quite steep and twisty , 1st gear corners at the end of steep straights bla bla bla . The road is now sealed and lots of peep...

yeah :xd: I think some peeps just blow out to the pressure ( I sure as hell would be fizzing )and say the 1st word in their train of thought instead of just thinking it .I guess we have all had moments where we know something but the words just dont come out. H ha , its always funnier when someone e...

all the way from 200degC......so not really for road use ? I really cant remember seeing someone pull up to the lights with glowing red disc's, but anyhow Im done with some....one telling me that 2 pot solid disc's are as good a 4 pot vented disc's i mean fuck it!!, why not run drums all round :doh:

Hehe, couldn't help but laugh at that one, superb Andrew!

the pair of yiz can bite me

After all the good work done bringing the car up to such a looker its a shame to have engine hassles , As andyd has said about his replacing the VV with a 32/36 weber and manifold ..... it will transform the car

Yeah , Im trying to figure out if I am wanting to maintain moral standards ,or just another old bastard who just plain doesn't like change ......into the new age . Just thinking about what my Grandparents generation thought of the Beetles,Rolling Stones ect who were the epitome of evil but turned ou...

Red hot disc's and you thought they felt perfectly OK ............I got nothing I could say to that .......

this is just part of the general lowering of basic standards .......... how long before pedophiles and rapists are given the same acceptance and we are expected to just accept them as normal people. I am NOT implying that Gays are next thing to rapists and pedophiles , there is a difference in that ...
