It will be long a Vauxhall corsa by know 🙈🙈

I worked with Keruing for years and it’s a good tight grain wood but it’s terrible for resins coming out of it so it’s no good to varnish on graham

Smashing story 😎

If it’s sealed in place any pu type sealer will bond and seal try something like tiger sealer make sure the glass and frame is dry and grease free graham

All the above are right the plastic will have trapped water it will also make the paint sweat Graham

I’m with you it’s some one needed as you say to have a look Graham

Tony if it’s been run short of oil could the knock be small ends , and big ends nipping the crank that would make it hard for the engine to turn over and Hard to start + because the engine in working hard when running it would blow black smoke I may be wrong it’s just a thought I had graham

It passes time trying to guess what it could be 😎😀

Well. Heather it looks like you are going to have to get down and get mucky and Check all the above message 😳

I haven’t read all the above tonight so someone may have asked previously have you turned The prop out of gear NO. Engine running it should turn with only a small resistance If it’s too tight a bearing could be seizing then in gear and see if there is any crunching rattling The other thing if it had no oil in the engine the bearings could be seizing And that’s why it will not rev freely This is just my idea and throwing it open the the menu on here Graham

How much oil did you put in ? If you over filled with oil that would make starting sluggish and hard to turn the engine Are you positive air is not getting in the fuel system Graham

Can you take a photo of above the photo you have taken all ready please

More like a fitter fits and forget

That’s a socket head screw and it looks like it’s been used as the threads are marked there’s oil on the shaft and maybe thread lock on the threads so I would have a good look for where it’s come from Graham
