Thank you, I'll let you know. My Dad has offered to go to the local scrapyard Tuesday to check two 406s there. Ben there since Spring so hopefully they have the engines!

It's not actually the engine mount, but the engine support block I need -- they are two different items unfortunately. Found lots for sale in Europe, but people don't seem to be listing them separately here. As it's bolted to the engine I imagine most just keep it on there if the engine is sold.

Yes the support is currently useable, it's the bolt which is now almost flush with the surface of the unit making it impossible (or very difficult) for me to remove. Thanks a lot for the offer (y) If I don't manage to find one in the next day or so I may be in touch. I would only be able to...

I don't understand that argument -- are you saying because some roads and villages are affected, that nearly all roads must be affected? The reduction needs to be more targeted. I can think of over a hundred places in Derbyshire alone where a 20mph would be wise to implement, however I can also...

They want to do it on two classified roads near us. Parts of them were recently reduced from 40mph to 30mph, which I think was sensible, however a further reduction to 20mph is excessive. 20mph can be very appropriate for lots of areas, but a blanket enforcement on main roads carrying...

Bit of a desperate post here! I am on the lookout for a replacement engine support (Peugeot part number 9628311880), plus one of the bolts used to secure it to the engine (it uses a T50 torx head). This unit is the item the engine mount bracket fixes onto using three T50 torx headed bolts. For...

They do have a great history in engineering and technology, which is what has fueled their continued success in certain areas. They still continue to have a good name in aerospace (I only know through having family working at Rolls Royce) and Roscosmos (space programme) really is impressive...

All the articles I've read were unable to determine why the second missile failed to launch. For all the recent (probably deserved) stick the Russians are getting, they do have a history of excellence in some engineering fields. I'm not defending them (impossible these days anyway!) but I do...

That's something I wasn't aware of. A quick Google search results in something like the below, which shows an output terminal I could attach the fans to...

Yes I do have a stove-top mounted fan. My plan was to mount two fans on the fireplace opening wall (behind the stove, plenty of room) and have them running to push the air from around the sides of the stove. There is a wire ran at the back of the fireplace which powers some alcove shelving...

It's whatever works for you I suppose!

Completely agree with the second paragraph. There's no patience amongst many now, but I've just learnt to accept it -- if they want to overtake they can. I'll plan my route though, and as I've built up a good knowledge of major roads/routes I'm not just blindly following a set of instructions...

Nope, no idea! They're free so it's worth a shot, plus there's a good gap of about 8" behind the stove so they're not going to be too close.

Or just the world of knowing the road network, rather than depending on where software thinks I should go.

Thanks all for the tips. The fans I have are just CPU fans mounted on the wall behind and to the side of the stove. They just need a 12v input so I'm looking at a way of generating that power through something on the stove top. I don't want another fan on the top as I think the heat is better...

Thanks, yes the fan I have uses one of these although it is of course not mounted directly onto the stove. It sits between the base of the fan and the mounting for the motor, so it raised about 3" off the surface. I'll see if there are units for these.

I also use Google and Waze together, mainly before I leave work to go home. I'll check where traffic is building up and also check the motorway cameras (https://www.motorwaycameras.co.uk/england/m1/northbound) to see what junction to take if I'm going to use the M1. I actually never use a...

Yes the principle is the same as my current stove-mounted fan. I wanted to have a bank of fans mounted behind the stove, slightly off the wall so that air could be drawn up behind them (in the fireplace opening) and thrown forward into the room. I've seen the heat patches, but not idea how to...

I have a wood burner which I run with free timber (well, it’s a lot of labour but it doesn’t cost anything). I managed to salvage two CPU fans from work (see link showing similar item) and I’m planning on putting them behind the stove to push stagnant heat forwards. I have a stove-top fan and...

Yes boiled linseed oil is what I use! The smell makes me want a bag of chips every time I open it. It's up there in the realm of se*y smells such as steam traction engines and old oily diesels.
