Welcome Martin, you should find the answer to most problems in the madhouse. As Chris A said it can be weird, but so does owning a Triumph Tony.

What a great looking car Rich, i bet your face hurts from the constant grin Tony.

I guess i have just been lucky on "planet Woore" Pete If anything is not as described on Fleabay, it goes right back and i get a refund. Something i have struggled with from non fleabay sellers as they expect you to pay return postage. I like a nice uncomplicated life if i can Glad you have got some tyres in date it seems to be a bonus these days. I will be watching with interest your progress with Katie as you have been waiting a while for her to come along. Tony.

I always ask if the rubber is still supple Pete, if they have been stored right and not left outside or on a shelf they will be ok. Tony.

Try for nos if you can Pete, they should be flexible if they are ok. I managed to get some for my Dolly off Fleabay and apart from one that was rock hard all were great. I did send the hard one back and got a full refund. Tony.

Good point that Pete, Dolomite 1850's are known for that. Tony.

Around the 1/4 on my S, not sure on the stat but the heater is nice and hot. Just put a new transmitter in as it stopped working and still reads the same. Goes to 3/4 when mad hot stuck in traffic. Tony. -
You could try a heavy 100 amp charge (if you have a big charger) to rescue the battery then trickle charge it. I am surrounded by tight farmers that bring batteries to me to do that, and i manage to rescue about 50%. Farmers do abuse batteries on combines (once a year start) and electric fences till totally dead. Tony.

A very difficult one Pete. I tend only to work with people who won't get upset and they can't upset me..... We can argue all the time, call each every name under the sun and still be laughing. But if you asked me for help? I would do as you ask as it's your car and vice versa as i don't know you well.... I hope i have worded that right Pete. It's a case of needing a helping hand. Tony.

Unless you have been on Doug's other site of course Tony.

Do you have your old starter? The spacer might still be on it... It has been done before. Tony.

With Aldi/Lidl tools always keep the receipt, they will replace or refund if you have it without question. Tony.

An axe.... Tony.

They look almost like towel hooks Doug? Tony.

I think DVLA will BW, but only if you pay them..... Not sure if they still do. Tony,

Don't you mean "Lycra Louts" Pete? they really p*ss me off Grrrrrrr. Apologies to any sensible Lycras out there, i know there is the odd one or two. Tony.

Didn't think you were meant to eat it Pete Tony.

And mine. Tony.

You wouldn't Blackbirds could make as much mess as they do, Pete.... always sweeping up after them. Agree with above as well. Strange how the green brigade jet around the world to attend lectures...... Tony.

They good chippings to keep the weeds down. Tony.
-

Got it in one Pete. Tony.

I love seeing the 4x4 people getting stuck and crashing them into ditches in the snow, what total prats. They need to go on a "white roading" course i think its called and learn to drive them. I am not into landrovers but i really admire the people that can get them to the back of beyond and not get stuck. The others need to stick to the school run.....
