    Hot Air

    Thanks Parrot-of-Doom's, followed your HOW to. I had a bit of "crud" that was a greenish stain on the righthand valve . Cleaned it out and all is fine. A good tip about putting a catcher under the valve, I used a piece of cloth which caught one of the screws. Thanks once again Merc808.

    Hot Brakes

    Hi All, Had some new brake pads fitted for MOT etc. The rear offside are binding slightly. I noticed last night as I got out of the car that the rear brakes smelt hot and with a little bit of spit, politely thrown at the disc, it sizzled. This was only after a 13 mile journey in slow...

    Hot Air

    HI Team, put air con on tonight, came through dash vents like the temp of the core of the earth or a (Macdonald's apple pie). I spun both wheels from blue to red and back, but still no change. I thumped the dash above vents to see if any vents were stuck and it went cold. Any ideas ...

    Big Tide At Teddington This Morning

    I was on some back roads between Driffield and York on Thursday afternoon and the canals and some ditches were so full they were lapping over the edge. At one point I was at a junction and the road was about 1m under the top of the bank. I left the junction pretty sharpish. Can't wait for the...

    lost engine, Mikes Bikes, North Hykeham

    Hi MB Clubbers, I have been wondering for a while how to address a problem I have had for a while now and just suddenly thought of the networking there is on here. A few years back. I decided to strip down a 1957 BSA Bantam D3 that I have had for about 30 years. I wanted...

    Hi Dieselman, Pammy It has happened twice, once yesterday -2C and once this morning. The temp was higher at +3C this morning. It starts fine and drives well initially. It only governs it self after about a mile. It is as if the turbo isn’t spinning up and no power just a...

    It happened to me !, I went limp

    :confused: I have seen a few articles in the past when cars have gone in to limp mode. I garage my car every night, not just in a cold spell. This morning as usual it started up fine and I drove out of the end of the street. It is a 30 zone for at least a mile so I didn’t notice anything...
