We've got some decent weather on the way, so time to make some noise..... :lol:

All the best,

Re: What Next? A Electric Jensen?

I guess they'll be building a bucket load of new power stations to support the demand for electricity. I accept I have a recessive view on the 'why' question, but it's not a question of practicality, it's the reason for owning one. Take the heart out of it and get around with an electric motor and i...

Re: 440 engine and gearbox split apart with a siezed engine

You can removed the sump and release some torque from the crankshaft, by loosening the main bearing caps in addition to pouring some penetrating oil into each cylinder through the spark plug holes. You may need to belt the crank with a soft faced mallet depending how long its been seized. Loosen the...

Re: MOT time Again

A bit off topic, but this MOT inspection thing is like going to the Dentist. In Australia (in the state of New South Wales), we have an annual inspection but some other states don't. Perhaps that's Australia for you. And, if you buy a new car it has its sixth birthday before its first inspection - b...
