Re: Ominous Engine Signs? (magnetic sump plug)
With the standard sump plug, draining the oil over the years is bound to leave sediment on the sump bottom, then when you fit a magnetic plug all those particles over the years are suddenly drawn to the magnet, so you’ve probably got all those years worth on your recently installed magnet !

Re: Valves
The valves are as your measurements. They came from a Mini Cooper S cylinder head.

2000 litres, nearly 500 gallons ! are you sure ! Cheaper to buy a new chassis !! That's exactly what I thought when I saw that it's 50 quid for 5 litres. With him being a bit of a celeb, I imagine they gave him the whole lot for free and put it on the marketing budget. Check my maths because someth...

Re: Remote battery isolator
Nothing wrong with an internal isolator, however I have one fitted to a battery terminal under the bonnet. I’m sure if I had a problem, I’d be under the bonnet pretty quick ! However if there was a fire, wouldn’t it be like bolting the door after the horse had bolted ?
