    Are you still looking? Only asking as I know of somebody selling a few, he would rather sell as a job lot but I could ask for you.

    The smoke test on the Rovers last MOT came out at 0.1 K (1m). I'm pretty sure that my old BMC 1800 on the boat causes a lot more pollution.

    Shtum, Greta may be watching. :default_biggrin:

    Hi all Football fans . I'm a Hammer's Supporter through and through and at least West Ham United has not Joined the Big Six thank goodness but I would like the Hammer's Boss to be dropped in the Norfolk Broads as I don't like him. 

    You can have Mourinho and his entire coaching staff now.

  4. Stop thinking the worse and think simple cure, a head gasket or timing chain is unlikely based on what you say. Guess you could check battery connections are all tight for a start while you wait and a look in the engine bay for a clear plastic fuel filter with any signs of having a fuel/ water mix in it and don`t feel guilt about the mooring.

    Pardon? I thought my ! referred to the difficulty of salvage in such a situation.  I think Marshman, talking of the problem, would have used an ! several times!!!!

    I shall remember not to use such a potentially offensive punctuation mark in future.  :default_coat:

    I didn`t say it was offensive.

    Oh dear!

    I am sorry if you thought my remark was condescending, or even aimed at you personally. It certainly wasn't intended to be and reading it back, I still don't think it looks that way.

    It seems so easy to offend, these days.

    The use of an ! can change the intended tone of a message.

  7. Once had a neighbour put a message through my letterbox informing me that in their opinion my grass was too long, it wasn`t an overgrown mess or anything but I was working 60hr weeks at the time and he was retired so his was immaculate.
