I had a short trip out in my Stag today, we ran out of milk Then changed the oil when i got back. Tony.

you will be missed sir.....

Most "fag lighters" use a 25 amp in line fuse BW . When i smoked i prefered a permanent live. The socket on my modern is only ignition fed pita if i want to plug anything in...... Tony.

It's mainly caused by modern polish Pete, it has a product called "naptha" in it. You can stop it by stripping the wax polish off with white spirit or turps (test a small area first) then buff with Farecla fine compound the use a traditional Hard wax and should stop it happening. I had the same problem with a blue woleseley. It's either that or dry the car before the sun is on the rain beads. Tony.

Cling film the bottom of the tray BW saves having clean the tray out, don't use cheap cling film though Shall we talk about wallpapering now??? Tony.

Hi BW when i posted the link it was still live.... Never mind the others are pretty much the same but some don't have the none return valve. Tony.

The real one's are supposed to work Paul, but have to be applied by a trained professional at a cost of around £600...... I have seen a car (modern) that has been done and it never seems to get dirty, nothing sticks to it... Would i pay £600? not a chance. Tony.

You won't stop the "Rattle" Pete.... Tony.

To be quite honest i thought myself BW, but i have had one on my Dolly for about three years now without problem and i did fit it before one those plastic filters to see. Up to now no problem. They are used for petrol to outboard motors and have been for years. It has certainly solved my problem Tony.

Some of your humour sir.....

I will miss your non pc humour sir. Rest in peace.

If you don't use the car daily BW fit one of these. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6-8-10-12mm-Fuel-Primer-Diesel-Liquid-Hand-Pump-Bulb-Petrol-Gas-Manual-Transfer/303773000253?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item46ba48223d:g:ksMAAOSwmyNftPZ8&amdata=enc%3AAQAFAAACgBaobrjLl8XobRIiIML1V4Imu%2Fn%2BzU5L90Z278x5ickkpFtSR0CGv%2Bh98r8Yb9quSyglrASvfQn3SB5DD0ailP2XXS7qvxvFZEfw9GQHiwB4EIWrB4NRC1bR%2FJXqxGpbupk311aRjZoYxv8VCHL8wQBJ%2Fl7LaJNpFD0E3z%2BkqPagZmm17IuM0Tu81AYICi6%2BmWRXBO4M3tsQtRoaO5%2Bl40WjuBWY8MahTp78AoKl%2F2ZmXe33OXvTSna%2FPypZOQ9b0cZw2GfO%2FYoObAUDk4tE%2BfpJE3HfR7s0mv%2BMcnNSpYgXGHqTPIo6%2F4usG2SCpqwgTWeieTgZdGSqHY3lJq1qZvtUVpaVhiBio6IED723vwnwsMPyuzXpCz7a7QHT852ANs1JQBcfOGLd4dsMvSjofArHKqpq29%2F3jsXsrgm7HiP7WuPisocB9kkdIZVO8mrGO%2FzL4S4pC9jtnQxZOHsUvOx5Veu%2BWOVztPvVCCUhdM2nP7kH9bTCQlH3uG7nK7aXAvvjitqXabn9WjZCKcnQG%2BKxxyJdKcp5yDqgJls7yIMzzZ4TUQofWO7cAAdFTSm80mr6Bw00hA3%2B4roZYcNbdhAIsrbbsxX0RWyM6TYvUBkP2wVVJPQMj2rcPu%2Bt%2FUQS%2FZCHNxYjIWRzcbmEQeL%2BKC3WHcfAXXl9DtG%2FDVF4dpFpeqy%2B1NZpNxTqz9o6KcGKkiA0ZTa69BqiO%2Fmk6NB6dyXhue8qDjP7F5%2BjSzWC3gBO3GM5xqoASG0lqBtoEBCS2bjqZ%2Fymx2CCK97b4JboflUkBRectFU%2BoxlZ7nmAJvj3p3ZcBNy2fo80BtU%2Fh0Uhyr2iFsYKxNXpACPGbat11%2BI%3D|cksum%3A303773000253897d58aa50174b17ad9928f51d8a85e0|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A2334524 Best six quid i ever spent on my Dolly 1850. Tony.

I think you have been spending to much time on the "other sites" mentioned on the forum Karl Don't worry Pete, Karl is excited about having a new Helmet...... Tony.
-
That is a set up for sure, it's not even black.... I have seen blocked Vauxhall engines many times when people havn't used the right oil and it comes out in black bit's. I have also had the same on a mk3 cvh escort. The manual said 18000 miles for a service. 9 yrs before service and 4.5k miles absolutely solid with black gunge. That jelly is too clean. Tony.
-
Maybe the front subframe as they tend to rot at the front. As Colin says you need to view it. I have an 1850 auto that has never been welded, but i saw some right dogs before i found it. Be very wary about buying it without seeing it as you will have no comeback and repair panels are scarce. They are great cars though. Tony.

If i had a jack rated at 50 tons, i wouldn't go under my car without stands. Pressure testing is done for safety, i once saw a video of an engine boiler blowing up..... Terrible. Tony.

If you have a model shop nearby, they might be able to help? Tony.

I could well be BW, it's exactly the same as mine a genuine Webber. Tony.

It is a bargain. I know folk say don't by secondhand but you can still get the parts should anything go wrong, It is easy enough to lift into a car boot, but wouldn't like to carry it far Tony.
-
Sounds more like the gears sloshing about in the oil Pete. Tony.
-
As Clive has said Pete,the Weber jacks are brilliant mine is now over 40yrs old and still works perfectly considering 20yrs of professional use. Expensive yes, poor quality no. Worth every penny. Tony,

My VW Camper - An epic story of human misery & suffering....
poppyman replied to Peaks's topic in My NON-Triumph cars
I have always hated the damn things, don't know why. I do appreciate the time and effort the VW people put into their vehicles though, long may they carry on Sadly not for me as they don't do an automatic. Tony. -
You can get the right stuff Johnny https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/35mm-1-3-8-ID-40m-OD-Flexi-Pipe-Tube-1-metre-Exhaust-Flexible-Excellent-Quality/274263527383?epid=2205266000&hash=item3fdb614fd7:g:YVoAAOxyqUpQ8B0e But look at the price, the pond hose went on my dolly with no problem, just warmed up as you say. Tony.
