Well, no but, surely, that's what the AA's for isn't it?

This thread has got me wondering if my toolkit is complete and, if not, what's missing?

Nice clean MoT history too. Looks good.

"- Next time it does it take plugs out to see if they are flooded or the dash pot off to see if the carb is full of fuel." Before you go to that sort of trouble, get yourself round to the back of the car and have a sniff near the exhaust pipe. You'll soon know if flooding is the problem, t...

IMHO Charles Ware cars are much overpriced, although I am sure the quality is excellent. But, presumably, they still find buyers for them. Do those buyers then join the OC and/or come on here, I wonder. Might be instructive to invite feedback/opinions from any that do, particularly as to whether or...

Game, set and match then. Thanks Phil.

Oh dear! I seem to have inadvertently opened something of a can of worms here. Re the current (no pun intended - honest!) mild spat/constructive disagreement on the subject, a little Google research revealed the following which, to my reading at least, appears to confirm geoberni's view:- https://ww...

In the far reaches of my personal man-cave, among the long-since replaced spark plugs that 'seem to be still OK so may come in useful one day as a spare' (or is that just me?) and sundry ignition leads, dizzy arms etc, is a dwell-meter with which I used to fine-tune the ignition of my long-departed ...
