  1. That's good news, Thanks Colin. Tony.
  2. Don't you mean "carless" Tony.
  3. I ordered a jacket on fleabay yesterday..... only just noticed the company is in Northern Ireland, i wonder how long that will take now or customs fee? Tony.
  4. When i sell to states i get asked to be economical Although postal cost's are now very expensive. Tony.
  5. Exactly Pete, unless the screen explodes of course Has anyone set fire to someones paper whilst they were reading it? Great fun in the canteen..... To many fire alarms and sprinklers now. Tony.
  6. I knew about a customs charge, but not the handling fee Tony.
  7. I don't think we would get away with it now Pete Tony.
  8. Bought some stuff from New Zealand a few weeks ago, import duty £3-83p Handling charge from Parcel Farce £12 Tony.
  9. I have always had respect for fuel tanks having watched older apprentices "setting" them off on disused land. The bang was incredible especially if someone had put a small bag of acetylene in before hand. It seemed fun at the age of 15yrs fresh from school........ It did teach me not to mess with them at close range. Tony.
  10. It didn't help matters that most people could not be bothered to set the tappets on a service. Tony.
  11. I don't believe you Pete..... A quiet Talbot Alpine.... Rubbish They were a nice comfy car though. Tony.
  12. I have to say, like yourselves i only change the filters every second time. I am sometimes tempted to do the same with the oil as it comes out clean, but can't bring myself to chance it. Tony.
  13. Heard that before Nick, but a lot harder to get and more expensive than the Mann 712/1 very similar filter but only one NRV flap from memory. Tony.
  14. Hi Keith, welcome to the forum. It might sound daft but is your Herald positive earth? I fell for that once. Tony.
  15. It's listed for just about everything Colin, but has an anti drain back in it. (sorry Pete) they are good filters Mann and it is the correct thread Sorry are you talking about the one that fell off Colin? Tony.
  16. You should have used 712/1 Mann filter Richard. Not sure what yours is off? Tony.
  17. Nice work Conor, that looks spot on. Well done. Tony..
  18. A lot of garages (me included) used to quote horrendous prices for job's that we didn't want to do.....sometimes it would be ten times what it should be. If you got the job you would have to grin and bear it Tony.
  19. How about the "sticks and stones" theory, it's not words that cause problems, it's Mr Angry the pc and woke brigade that want to rip everybody's head off and throw it in the nearest harbour. Tony.
  20. No 4 plug will more than likely be steamed clean, and you will only get a slight drop in compression's most of the time Tony.
  21. Have a look at this, it's how things are getting.... VID-20210112-WA0003.mp4
