Yes, I use this with water, needs heat though.

Ooo, now, that Gazelle, I had a two tone with chrome embellishments down the side, demolision derbied it to destruction, it went and went. Didn't win though. One of the funniest things I've ever done - singer gazelle, rover 2.2sc, cortina Mk1, Renault 6 I think?, there must have been others...

Oooo,

I had a mk1 Vauxhall cavalier that I recovered from an off road excursion, bought it off direct line insurance. Anyway, this thing, even after I'd replaced the bent front subframe vibrated, through the whole car. Had all wheels balanced numerous times. Then I saw it - one of the tyres had been...

Stupid I am not, you look again at the busted exhaust.

Tags add an axle to reduce road tax, then carry them arond for 95% of the time - this is a fiddle.

You don't want to buy one do you? Black 318 compact...

I've been to Poland - everything's amazingly cheap, but I couldn't get away from the constant feeling I was being cheated.... Edit to add, it's just another axle being carried around - the difference is in this country the law allows it.

Wrong - look again....:doh:

Very repairable, and my guess unlikely to be cracked, unless the valve has hit the chamber face edge on. And you only need one seat, unless your flush, then maybe do all the exhausts. No worries about dust, just blast it, there is only one oilway. Edit to add - the one that's broken has a seat...

I'm amazed at the amount of machines that were made in Yorkshire..

Everyone on here will tell you these are bad news - with good reason. And, even when you buy a 30l or whatever size the hobbyweld comes in, you'll be surprised how long it doesn't last when your practicing, but practice you must. Maybe not so relevant with the weather warming, but you should...

This is a motorbike not a Ferrari Having said that, any inspector would smell a rat if the frame stamped vin is missing, so no vin no plate, of any kind. If it was made by Yamaha it would have a vin. And I disagree, even If you have a vin, but can't convince that dopey lot at Swansea what year...

No challenge no fun. That's why I have a number of nearly finished jobs.....

Yes

Been there, enough times to know better, and it hasn't happened for a while now...

I took a pic of both side by side on the back of the trike. Eventually managed to wrestle the givi wind deflector into place and fit the new speedo. Greased cable, oiled the bush on the input of the speedo, now quiet, smooth and, because there are less numbers, easier to read. I,can't see me...

Just called my mot man. No worries, they enter the number from the clock as read. I should take a digital pic of both at changeover to pass on to the next owner, maybe... Given the mot holds this data I doubt it's much of a worry.

Depends on the size of the oven and how well it's insulated I guess. Starting and stopping will increase the level of contaminants I would say. I really would build a stainless drum, with the burner in the middle, into a chimney, with an outer jacket, and a blower picking up that heat and...

Hmmm, will need to discuss with my mot man. Now everything is electronic you'd think it would be easy. Any mot people on here know?
