    That was great, nice to see how far you've come.
  2. They were shut after a take over by, I believe, Gas Gas. To the bloke above, give tartybikes a ring about a bash, I'm sure megamo bashes weren't that different from others apart from being steel. Otherwise, get one made, it's a shame to let a good bike sit idle for the sake of a bit of metal.
  3. This is all academic cos the nicest sounding engines don't run on petrol or diesel Ignoring that, anything other than a sodding straight four. A ducati V-twin perhaps, or a sixteen litre Scania, something with a syncopated beat like a galloping horse.
  4. Right I'll get looking when it isnt so dark. Not too bothered about the licensing business because it's got continuous history from the time it was changed to a V8, I'd just like to know why some bits don't fit very well p.s. will the mot man worry about door pillars on the bulkhead? they're a bit religious.
  5. Does anyone know if there's a number stamped on the chassis of a series two, and if there is, where it might be? Similarly axles and gearbox, none of my books are helping Most of this motor appears to be series two but its had a bloody hard life and a lot has been replaced over time, it'd be nice to get straight with what's what.
  6. Even in a power 'box, you still need to swallow a book of rules the size of the bible to tell the computer what's wanted and check it isnt making a cock up. Likely he's in a manual box if he's got time and privacy to bugger about on tarty Bloody frozen points, I spent most of yesterday clearing snow from them, then got back on a nice warm footplate and all the snow on my cap and coat melts and went down neck
  7. My book of lies reckons red position, that's how I did mine anyway.
  8. You're right, it wont stop threads stripping out from sheer force, but in my experience brake mount threads usually tear out due to friction and grease will most certainly help. Molybdenum for preference, lithium is fine, copper tends to grind away at aluminium in threads that are often adjusted like brake bolts.
  9. Wanker supplies actually had a motor worth buying then? I quite fancied one of these at auction, but twelve grand was a little bit too much
  10. Anybody know if you can get poly engine mounts for a mk2 golf gti?
  11. Lovely job, bit of preparation and it all goes so smoothly You did better than us, the old engine refused to come upwards out of boumsong's scirocco, so we dropped it on the floor and lifted the car over it. Words like "Is this safe?" and "be reet youth" were exchanged
  12. Wash it out properly with diesel and then soak it in oil. If that not work, mend it with a new one. From memory, there isnt the space to put a sealed bearing in, even if you could get one in a thin enough section that didnt cost the earth.
  13. Any idea who to talk to within your company about training and apprenticeships? I'm going to be out of a job shortly and I wouldn't mind being in the power industry.

    Bummer, just as he was about to make a whole pile of money too
  16. They sort of do have a right of way, there's a rule in the highway code that you should give right of way to them when it is safe to do so, especially when they're pulling out of stops. Just apply a bit of logic to it: if there's a bus ahead of you and he pulls into a stop, see if anyone is standing waiting. If there is then he'll probably be stopped a while and you can make it past. If he's just dropping off then its usually a quick halt and away again, if you try to beat him there's a fair chance you'll be alongside or even in his blind spot when he signals to pull out.
  17. I would have just sat six inches away from his door with the window wound up and the engine turned off. Nowt like letting twats stew in their own expensive motors.
  18. Boumsong's tasted a girl from Quorn, does that count?
  19. We all need to eat, not all of us require the services of a hitman. I accept we could all live as vegetable botherers to save the animals, we could all live in mud huts to save the planet, and we could all kill ourselves to save the poor defenceless oxygen we breathe, but personally I don't think extremism in any form is acceptable so I shan't be topping myself any time soon.
  20. They ain't a pain to park, you just need to be a driver rather than a steering wheel attendant.
  21. Its a very idealistic argument, but doesnt hold true in a devolved society such as ours. You want to ride bikes, drive cars, use phones and computers, but left to your own devices you wouldnt be able to make any one of them from scratch. I could kill something and butcher it, but probably wouldnt make a very good job of it, my time is better spent earning so I can pay someone else to practice the craft.
  22. It is quite interesting for a series 3, I'd imagine one of the last made, Defender style rear lights and so on.
  23. As a matter of interest, why is it cunts like you can't wait for the lights to change?
  24. Surely there's enough space to get a hacksaw down behind the bolt head, cut the head off and then get the axle out. If it is really stuck, get the axle in a lathe and carefully drill the bolt out.
  25. In my experience, said kid usually elaborates the statement with a few well chosen oaths and racist insults picked up from their parents. You don't throw your dinner out cos it looks bad, you throw it out cos it looks bad smells bad and tastes bad, similarly you dont scold a child for "No, they smell", you scold them for saying "No they smell, f**king milkys, wish they'd all f**k off". Nowt is as simple as the papers would like you to believe.
