    Toe Rags

    You can almost guarantee its the same scumbag/s. The chances of getting burgled by the same people within six months is incredibly high.

    Fireblade Carb Problems

    I had over fueling and could not find out why, I had a bike pump also. I needed smaller jets so I got a spare set of and drilled them out to 1.65mm and that cured it. Dont know why as some jets are going out to over 1.85mm and producing good results. I guess these bike carbs have "individual personalities". How come you cannot take the carbs off the inlet manifold??

    Anti Freeze

    There are many products that have been ripping us off for years by adding the magic water Mainly the difference between industrial and household strength products is just water Washing up liquid, masonry cleaner, pesticides, weed killers and hair products to name a few. Then there`s the foodstuffs like bacon, chicken, pork and even.....beer.
  6. Would that be the Kateringvan Kar Klub
  7. Cheers Eric, Thats just jogged my memory to an episode of Mythbusters, they used tin foil and coka cola on an old American classic chrome bumper and it seemed to come up great.
  8. Nothing is ever straight forward. Ive removed the old cam cover to find out i have the narrower type gasket as a replacement and also the new cover has no baffle in it (the old one looks welded in place so thats me out). Would I be ok to continue with what ive got or is it a no no. Thanks Andi
  9. Hmm! Would this work on my acorn and stone dents on my bonnet? http://www.videojug.com/film/dent-removal-technique
  10. I have recently got a chrome pinto cam cover. It was a very mucky when I got it and also had some blue overspray and small rust spots. All these came off with a bit of carb cleaner and tons of buffing but the rust is back. Is there a product that would keep this at bay without turning the spots black or dulling the chrome? Thanks.

    Which Tin Top

    Ok I know this is generalising and I know not all driver are the same but, I seized the opportunity today due to good weather and went out for a brisk drive for a couple of hours down the country roads of Leicestershire. Which was great. The problem is getting there and back, I always seem to get an ass**** in a BMW wanting to race or cutting me up, mostly as soon as there is a dual carrigeway (but not always) I had 3 instances of this today and the last one was a guy well into his late 60`s. We seem to have a total lack of boy racers in this city compared to others (probably the gloomy work prospects) but the mid 30`s to middle aged chaps are the idiots round here, looking like sales reps in suits. Jeez they are annoying. Rant over. So who is the "enemy" in your hood???
  13. In the top left of your scren it should say "logged in as old man" Click on the old man to go to your profile page In your about me (my content) part click on edit signature (which should be on left hand side aswell) Your looking for the 5th icon from the left with a green + sign to insert a link.

    Oil Spray Bar

    Hi Deano, It appears to be standard practice to mount the catch tank high up in the engine bay, having said that I dont think it would cause your problem.

    Oil Spray Bar

    I once asked this question, and was told even with a shortened sump the oil should still read on the originals of the dipstick. Someone will be along with a more solid answer. Are your breathers clear?
  17. Excellent vid. Still youve gotta love the Colonies for all their deserted projects and open space. (I dont think we could practice on the moors or a deserted powerstation near Burton for example)

    Oil Spray Bar

    Hi, Im about to change my cam cover for a " posher" one and due to some horror stories Ive read on the web I want to replace the oil spray bar. Are there any tips or pitfalls to doing this or is it fairly straight forwards. Regards Andi
  21. Does one have to replace with new ones if they are removed. Thanks

    Anyone Like Cleaning?

    Absolutely stunning, couldnt make out if it was a scaled model or not. The cleaning would be so demoralising. Maybe a job for community punishment lol
