The latest Ford Ecoboost engines now in various Fraud models have wet timing and oil pump drive belts ''RUNNING IN OIL!!!!. and some diesels too. The problem is wear fibre gunge from belts blocking the oil pump filter. Chains would be much much better running in oil but more expensive of course. I've recommended to a couple of folk with these engines to change there oil and filters every 3,000 mile

Essex Motor Factors of Bishops Stortford stock the range of Morris oils. I use them in boats and in my car. Very good service. = Essex Motor Factors 01279 653211.

EP140 is very thick known as Castrol High press use to be used in prewar car differentials. Smells of almonds. EP80-90 smells of cats pee.

Reminds me of an old friend of mine that uses to stand in front of a mirror with his eyes closed trying to see what he looked like when asleep.

What does white appear as then?

Mix red and green makes brown, so red and green nav lights too close together a long distance away look brownish.

What colours do colour blind folk see red and green as?

If this throat plate is the half moon shaped thing held in by two nuts it needs to be removed, they're only for use in houses with much longer chimney's which give a stronger draw on the fire. Left in it will clog up the flue pipe.

Some marina's would allow that, but if your travelling light why not d/i/y. I do all my small stuff in the sink with a homemade Rubbing board, Pre rinse in the river to get most of the soap out then a final rinse in the sink. If your hiring a trad style boat all the better, rig up a little washing line with a bit of string above the engine,'' clothe pegs are cheap and useful for other things too, like when you visit a sanitory station to empty the toilet or pump out, just pop one on your nose and hold your breath'' things will dry quickly there above the engine. If a cruiser stern boat rig up a couple of washing line front and back. Scrubbing boards can be bought cheap online or in oil shops here. The macho gueezers that won't relinquish the helm for er-indoors to have a go are easily identified, they almost always stand bolt upright, chin in the air like an admiral of the fleet, wear Breton or Captains hats and frequently bellow out orders and instructions to er- indoors at the front, sometimes by megaphone. The only time that Macho captain is likely to let er-indoors have a go at the helm is when he in quiet panic has made a huge boob himself, and big danger is iminent like he's headed the boat straight at a weir by mistake,bellows for her to come and have a go at the tiller, when disaster strikes, grabs the tiller back from her and blames her for the terrible results, Hope you have a tremendous and great holiday.

Bad health especially breathing problems are with a great many folk caused by obesity, gorging on mountains of crap grub, one only has to note what some folk in front of you at the supermarket checkout sre buying ie, huge bottles of fizzy pop, burgers, sausage rolls, enormous bags of frozen chips, huge hunks of meat, massive bumper bags of crisps ect, big stacks of toilet rolls. Probably driven only half a mile to get there with the seat shoved right back and the steering wheel jambed in their fat tummy instead of walking and very likely go back home to gorge on big greasy fry ups and doughnuts whilst goggling at the telly or playing on laptops and phones. No excersize !!!. just heavy puffing and blowing when lurching about. As Harold Mc Millan once said,''We've never had it so good''. 🍿🥨🍨🥔🥩🥵

Fresh air is bad for you. Leave the lid off a jar of jam or a tin of beans and let the fresh air in and they go bad.

For a start, buckets, saucepans or washing up bowls over the mushroom vents until weather improve.

A simple £4 digital volt meter wired in will tell you all you need to know about state of battery charge. But will take a little while to learn it.

Ford modified the old e93a s/v 1172 engine for the 100e range by modifying the block for a water pump in the normal position, the reason was for the much lower, modern, body profile of the 100e. The valves were altered to adjustabe with lock nuts where as the old e93a had fixed clearance. but basically the same engine. Heaters were again optional. Three speed box on all the s/v engined cars.

Just stretch the 8mm rope a bit by pulling a little when applying and it will be about 6mm. Use the rope glue.

It's Saturday, so probably busy doing his football Pools.

That was the general term for them because they all the sit up and beg Fords shared the same or similar chassis and mechanics. But all the sit up and beg range of Fords had their own Ford identifying number too. 103E= Pops from 1953 to 1959. E83W 10cwt vans. 7W 8hp anglia. And later 100E which still used the 1172 s/v engine although modified. Lots more but I can't remember them all at the mo. usea
