Whats changed since then is the General Data Protection Regulations 2018... when that came in to force DVLA stopped providing the info

If I was a bit more local I might have had a punt

Is that an Early thick flange block Phil - possibly EN40 crank?

Its been snowing in Berkshire and Oxfordshire this morning - there was even white stuff on the ground

What I read yesterday/today is that - No AZ vaccines have gone from the EU to the UK (except a "tiny" batch) - The Vaccines that have come to the UK from the EU are the Phizer ones. - Phizer are meeting their commitment to the EU. - The UK is exporting components which are crucial to the production ...

I broke down on an area of the M25 which was semi smart (i.e. still had the hard shoulder, but also had lane control). I was in traffic, doing about 20mph uphill in lane 3 of 4 and "tinkle, tinkle, pah" the engine cut out and the car stopped. Absolutely no chance to get over to the hard shoulder. (T...

Don't worry about the order you undid the bolts, just make sure they are done up according to procedure

And as Phil says, remove the studs and it should all then move

Some modern fasteners even have what Phil describes from the factory - normally those intended to form their own thread as they are forced in to an un-tapped hole

Just to add to this - the online process to change ownership will work provided that its the last V5 issued. 2 years or so ago I did an online change of ownership, from one of the early cream coloured V5s. Off the top of my head that particular doc was issued in 1983. Given the covid situation, I wo...

Yup, its a traveller without the wood...

Modern inverter MIGs are impressive bits of kit...

I would need 15ishL for a single coat

I would suggest a towbar mounted bike track too!

How well does the cat travel in a traveller?

It's like that on preserved railways too, you have to pay a yearly subscription to work for them for free, which I find bizarre.

It doesn't work like that on the Ffestiniog/Welsh Highland

If the ignition is on, the fuel pump ticks rapidly to get fuel to the carb and then it should stop. If it keeps ticking, albeit at a reduced rate the valve is probably partially sticking open. If you take the air filter off, and hold the throttle open you might even be able to see the fuel coming in...

Whats the difference between a Hippo and a Zippo?

Ones really heavy, the other is a little lighter.

It all happened in the good old, bad old, days when I was still a moderator on the site (march 2014)... before I decided that paying for MMOC membership costs pretty much just to do work for them was a little daft and I let my membership lapse (April 2014)
