  1. I've driven past this sign for 6 years, why go to all the bother of hiding something, then putting a sign up for it!!
  2. Not had any truly terrible cars.... I'm too young I guess a Renault megane is about the worst, though it served us well
  3. Thanks Andy, what it's actually crying out for is a vise on one end
  4. We like that, proper injuneeeering
  5. The garden does not need watering!!! It's a sea of mud
  6. Hi, there's not a lot I'm guessing that can be adjusted or moved. If there's fuel and compression, then all that's left is timing or lack of pressure through the injector. Engines get addicted to ether because there's usually an underlying issue. Ether reduces the pressure and temperature that's usually required for combustion in a diesel. Have you ever checked that it is set correctly, I.e. Timing of the injector? These old engines have always had someone tinker, and inevitably things can get 'adjusted' making things difficult... Just another thought... Did you try bleeding it again? It's entirely possible that there's a leak allowing air into the system. My mates international tractor had a habit of doing that for years, until a fibre washer fixed it.
  7. Here's the only pic I took today, the roof is done and one gable completed. It's now weatherproof from one end. The wind is howling, I'm worried it might blow away tonight
  8. Good to see the story on here Ian!
  9. I've half a roof, it's forecast rain tomorrow, but I should be able to get more done
  10. Tidy job Andy, it's moved on since I saw it...
  11. I've the same 1953 myford ML7 lathe as Richard, only with 3 phase and an inverter. I'm untidy though, so it's a mess
  12. Will try post an update in the next few days! Thanks for your support guys!!!!
  13. Be glad to come and play in that... Currently converting mine into a boat

    Nice pics Nigel, I like the bolens, it looks lonely without a 6x6 behind it
  15. Neil, Not good at all, despite the rain up north, we still haven't seen the rivers burst their banks yet. I guess we are still filling reservoirs here! Here's hoping the rain stops soon for you down there, it looks like they are now trying to sort things out there. All a little too late for you guys though, typical government... Send some rain up here
  16. He termed it a 'jolly good disaster' only he could get away with that....
  17. hehe black jacks/spangles walking 3 miles to school in all weathers Lifts to school in the back on a van or trailer - or milk float unrestrained riding on the wheel arch of my dads JCB bob a job (scouts) doing 2 paper rounds to have money to buy things progging - collecting wood to build massive bonfires watching The A team, Fall guy or Dukes of Hazzard on a saturday night Being forced to watch Dynasty or the Colbys an hour later British Leyland cars...
  18. It was good fun, and very productive for mowing. You never cut the same bit twice with one! At one point I could also mow with the twins sitting either side of me it was a big seat.
