Just to update, but the quote was wrong. The lady wot does the phones was working remotely, and missed the valve clearances off (perhaps a non-M quote?). They called back and gave me the correct quote, and I asked him to see where the screenwash was leaking from whilst it was on the ramp, and...

Just spotted this.... https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/auction/18480498 Be an interesting gauge of the market.

Had a few quotes for Ins2 and brake fluid, rather surprisingly not a massive difference between indys and main dealer at £1100 - £1400, although the dealer did seem to struggle to get a price after starting at £1900.. This includes Differential oil, although one place said they could use the...

Need to do an Ins2 on the wifes MC, plus a couple of other bits. Any suggestions for places to go or not go in the Shrewsbury/Shropshire area? Happy to travel for the right place. thanks.

I've had tropical fish for years, and am on a local FB group. Someone is selling a tank and posted this picture.....

So, as Ann is about to retire, I've been thinking about a new career, and I've started a job in Bomb Disposal. A bit of a disappointment so far, mainly it's just been ticking boxes.

Doctor, I keep getting the urge to sing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". "Do you feel the urge now?" "Oh yes, it's only a whim away, a whim away, awhim away, a whim away".

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Class_A4 "At the end of Mallard's record run, the middle big end (part of the motion for the inside cylinder) ran hot (indicated by the bursting of a heat-sensitive "stink bomb" placed in the bearing for warning purposes), the bearing metal had melted and...

So after me badgering her all summer to sell her MC, my dearly beloved mentioned earlier as we prised our hire car up the steep basement slope onto the narrow cobbled streets of Jerez that we should sell the MC next year for something slightly more suited to long distance touring (basically a...

The wife's rarely used MC is on a road trip, an unusual ocurrance but it generally gets some exercise every couple of weeks. So on the M6 the police stop her, apparently the car has been involved in suspisious activity in London. Given the mileage between MOTs is barely enough to get from here...

Finally getting around to fitting the new front discs. I had a search but there are so many results fitting my terms, so does someone have a sheet with the torque settings for the wheels, disks and calipers? Also - grease the pad pins with red rubber grease, or not? - I've heard various...

Turns out my subscription to 'Osteopath Monthly' has been going to my neighbour. He's just dropped them off, I can't believe how many back issues I've got to go through.

Finally decided to get the CDV removed, and whist it looks pretty simple, I want to avoid smelling of DOT4 for a week and I suspect bleeding it back would be a PITA. Besides, it is due a brake fluid change this year so can anyone suggest somewhere in the Shropshire area or along the A5/M54...

Seen this around a few times in the last day or so, not sure if it is more of a scare story than real, but for those who think their phones are a good way of paying for things it might be one to keep an eye out for. Wondering if I should create my own, perhaps a fake parking system page where...

Looking for new front discs, are ATE the same as the OEM ones or is it the £100 per disc more expensive Zimmerman ones? Autodoc are £490, carparts4less (which looks like the exact same company?) is £440 for ATEs, which seems a chunk cheaper than I was expecting. Am I missing something? ATE...

I tend to go old school...

This one is actually real... Allegedly in Spanish the 'X' is pronounced as a 'JH' (as in Xavier), and the 'J' as a gutteral "H" as in Jorge.

Have you thought about going a bit more retro? EDIT - just had a thought, I wonder what the wife would think of this?
