    Oil burners beware !

    I have to use them as I always forget to take the other ones. JohnD, I'm sure a clever chap like yourself can find evidence contrary to your point, it only took me a few minutes. I don't disagree leaded petrol was harmful or can be ingested, just that it was not the only source that could...

    Oil burners beware !

    Oh dear, I see some of you have fallen for the great unleaded swindle. The problem with removing lead from petrol was the host of crap they had to put in it to combat lead removal namely benzene, toluene, xylene, dimethylbenzene or mesitylene. One by-product of U/L is the rather nasty...

    Oil burners beware !

    This would suggest a far different picture. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/8995/vehicles-summary.pdf Given more and more space gets given to roads it would be interesting to know how the average emissions of a vehicle between the 50's and now...

    How simple is it to replace diaphragm in Worcester 24cdi?

    Don't be scared off. Buy a 20 quid diaphragm kit and get stuck in. Your first time will take about 2 hours but if you are any good you will manage it in an hour the next time. Just take your time and don't be too rough with it, that's when the CDi fragility will bite your arse hard.

    Who saw Mr Fs comments as regards Scotland?

    I actually don't mind him but find him a little similar to the SNP; A lot of talk but none of it appears to be about how they will actually deliver their promises.

    Who saw Mr Fs comments as regards Scotland?

    There lies the problem. The poison dwarf wants to spend more to appease those criticising the SNP handling of the NHS etc but has no money to do it. The oil game in Scotland is dead for a good few years and won't be providing anywhere near the money she needs for a long time if ever. She's...

    They were all in the same boat

    Too cold up here for the muzzies. :) The Scottish Nazi Party are being very Un-Nazi with their policies and their Nazi symbol needs some work.....currently looks like a full nappy on its way to the bin....quite accurate. On the plus side Sturgeon has the potential to be as mental as Hitler.

    Goodbye Jeremy

    TV is made to attract viewers and lots of them watched Top Gear. Fifth Gear was made more as a standard car test programme and look how relatively few people watched that. Clearly the public want tyre smoking and sideways "dull" cars and not an in depth review of the latest Peugeot...

    New car

    [/url] Far too council. You might as well add an NI "dateless" plate onto it for the full council look. :)

    New car

    I got the general gist of the post but found it a bit of a ramble. :lol: Thankfully as a confirmed planet rapist I have no need to buy these eco ****** cars and only really know enough about them to point and laugh at their green-washed sweater brigade owners. :)

    Car crash - claiming for expenses

    Try this, I vaguely know the guy who runs it, good lad. Not sure if you can use it after the fact but ask them and sign up anyway for next time. :lol: http://www.freemotorlegal.co.uk

    Jimmy page and his new girlfriend

    Good on him, I would be doing the same if I was a millionaire rock god. :twisted: I thought I was doing well with my breadknife being 10 years younger.....I do play guitar. :lol:

    replacing Brit Gas MultiHead 2 c/h pump

    I would change the valves anyway, if they are that old they will probably only pass anyway. That way you don't need to mess about looking for odd size pumps. Why drain down when you can bung the system and change it all in under an hour? (depends on the position of the pump of course)

    Only in the USA, thankfully.

    That's fair enough.....showing my ignorance there. Surely you need to "cock" it before you can shoot it though.

    IS THIS A LEGAL CRIME OR HOAX VEHICLE INSURANCE

    Be careful here. By selling a vehicle and not cancelling the insurance you could be liable for any uninsured costs in the future if the vehicle is in an accident. A local bloke sold his bike but did not cancel his insurance, the unlicensed and uninsured buyer then managed to kill himself...

    Only in the USA, thankfully.

    Surely the real crime here is not keeping a gun or it being loaded but having the safety off? Anyone who has shot a pistol will know the triggers do not need a significant pull but are mostly the proverbial hair-trigger. The kitchen sink likely rolling around her handbag could set it off...

    Stealth Car Tax

    Why are folk still making the mistake of allowing people to drive off with the V5c? The seller keeps the completed V5c and sends it in to the DVLA, the buyer only gets the green slip on the back page as a receipt. That way you won't get any fines etc. ALWAYS send the V5c in by recorded...
