richardmorris Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I also need technical help with a cheap bottle jack I bought from Aldi. First try at using it to see if the reach was enough for the 2cv ( no) i accidentally unscrewed the release valve too much and it fell out, with fluid. I have bought extra fluid, but can’t get pressure back now. The manual explains how to fill and bleed it, but I’m having no luck so will bring it if for technical people to look at please.

chaseracer Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 The Scotoshite/ASMM EuroJunket will unfortunately not be in attendance at the FoD today, due to geographical issues and a late start for Dover.

Andyrew Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Nice to meet everyone today. I may have mentioned in conversation today that the disco is just so good at most things. Getting home it seems is not one of them. richardmorris, Ohdearme and Mrs6C 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyrew Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I'm good but thanks for the offer! my better halfs on her way and Ive got a work van at home that can be used, I'm hoping the fuel filters clogged or collapsed but it's a bit odd.

anonymous user Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Sorry to have missed this, I spent the time instead trying to dry out my C15 electrics to stop it blowing the sidelight fuse. Lets just see what happens next time it rains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 As usual it was great day at the Field of Dream even as it was early in the year we caught a couple of hail showers. The aim for the day was to get the Giulietta rear inboard brakes released and the car rolling and thanks to Andyrew we achieved that. We moved cars around so the Giulietta is at the front for loading. Slowsilver also completed the o/s rear brake rebuild on the Spitfire 6. We took shelter from a passing shower in the Hay barn which now contains the CX and I mentioned I needed the accelerator cable off it because it was fire damaged. What better in the rain than to take a CX apart! Junior motorcycling took place. Somebody bought that wild child! Usual tea was drunk and even old acquaintances renewed. Thank you everybody who took part. richardthestag, egg, Burnside and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardmorris Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I visited the field of dreams and look what happened to me. The guilietta bit me ( compensation £££££!). We had to break into my Mercedes’ 25 yr old unopened first aid kit, which was actually very well stocked with decaying bandages while trying not to drip blood onto the pale grey interior. Thanks to professional assistance my finger was re-attached in textbook fashion. Looking forward to the next visit.

SiC Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Slightly different topic, but have you seen this video series where a guy strips down a 6cyl E-Type engine and rebuilds? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgc5w5-Thaefjt9qaJfTInck5PMopAtMr Might interest you to see what is inside yours.

Mrs6C Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 A big THANK YOU!!!! from me for getting my Giulietta mobile again. It will be great to get it away to the Alfa specialist to be sorted out and returned to the road. Those of you who spied the tax disc will have noticed that it was last on the road in March 1999, so after two decades of standing around in various rural locations, it deserves a bt of TLC. Now I need to have a rummage in the shed to find the spare doors, wings, sills and headlights... Burnside, Ohdearme and richardmorris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardmorris Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I think of it as day-care for grown men. There is a very odd sense of achievement in helping get something dead moving again, although I don’t think the mice will appreciate being relocated.

richardmorris Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Was it a misplaced child, or a misplaced helmet?We may* have noticed a missing child earlier despite being elbow deep in a slightly burny cx engine bay. I also think said child has a future in parcour given the exploration of the JCB. Mrs6C and anonymous user 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
