Date is somewhat fluid atm the it seems, though first weekend in July is being promulgated.
It involves a field, tents, beer, bbq and lots of pointless chat as far as I can make out.
In other words, every ex-serviceman's dream :D

Re: Annual camping weekend

Will be there even if I have to push start it :lol: Tom I think the last time we met was 13th July 2011. I am looking forward to seeing you again in much happier circumstances. I may even bring a tent and partake of an ale with you. (Unless you're still on the Cinzano and lemonades of course? :xd: )

Are you sure you haven't got all the plug leads on one place to the left or right of where they should be?

Re: Remove Caliper - Fluid Loss

Yeah, you can still do it with a bigger bit of poly bag so it goes round it. Hi Martin, do you mean allow the poly/clingfilm, etc. to 'sag' underneath the level indicator/gubbins, so you have a sort of U shape in effect, which then comes up and out under the cap/threads. Yes. I wouldn't trust cling...

Re: Remove Caliper - Fluid Loss

Well I stand corrected but I've still never had success with that method. Not much use on a master cylinder reservoir cap with a fluid level indicator I would have thought, Yeah, you can still do it with a bigger bit of poly bag so it goes round it.

Re: Remove Caliper - Fluid Loss

It would be about as effective as the other old wive's tale of putting clingfilm over the reservoir. Call me an old wife then, as I've done that countless times since I first started back on my old Mk1 Escort. Fill the reservoir to the brim then a poly bag under the cap and do it up tight. Basic ph...

Re: Penetrating Oil

WD40 is not penetrating oil it is Water Displacement fluid and it was the 40th formula, hence the name. Just for the record, I agree with your definition of the original WD40, however the name has now become generic for more products in their range and they now do a Penetrating Oil in spray form as...

Re: What is killing everyone?

the non-covid death rate has been consistently higher than the 5 year average for about 6 months and is affecting all age groups. Or maybe it is still covid, but either people can't be arsed to write it on the death certificate, or have been instructed not to? They used to say opinions are like ars...

Re: What is killing everyone?

So here's another theory: Mother Nature decided to do something about the over-population by hoomans, who are killing off all the other species in their way. The sneaky hoomans thought they'd be clever with their little syringes and beat Mother Nature. But she was a step or two ahead. Ready for that...

Re: Condensation damage

Oddly enough I never had much trouble inside the car.
However, around the suspension it always seemed 'damper'. :roll:
