"would have gone right into my off side rear quarter"?
Sounds as though the "twat" was on the roundabout and you pulled out in front of them?
 
 

Or trying to turn left from the right hand lane.  But neither of us were there...

Back on the floor after nearly two years I really need to get my finger out.


I needed Boris to move under his own power to turn him around but the extra bracing I had added was in the way of the pedals so had to go for the moment 
The clutch and brake pedals share the same semi seized pivot shaft which currently makes forward momentum a bit erratic.



With the car back on its wheels I was pleased to find the driver's door still opens and closes without catching.


I really like these 13" eight spokes and can see me swapping between the wide 14's and these as my mood takes me.



Despite the scary rot the nearside is slightly better as the door fits ok and so the hinge panel can be patched rather than replaced.
And an added bonus after fiddling with the carb and distributor settings I have now got the engine to Idle smoothly and rev cleanly without bogging down.
And the clutch operation is a bit too fierce for my liking (it's either in or out) but all the linkage is very worn and dry so I think it can be improved later on.
 

Is it just me that doesn't see that as hypocrisy? 
 
ER have some loony members but they're right - it's often better to keep an older vehicle working than make a new one.

If being on the phone to VWFS gets you off and you aren’t harming anyone then crack on. 😆

That is probably the best-known street south of the river in Citroën circles. I'm guessing the owner's not particularly worried about ULEZ or the choice* of future Mayor....

Hope your lathe and compressor are nice and quiet . Don’t want to upset the neighbours 😂

Then you allowed the wrong  software to be purchased. 😁🤑

Christ. They'll be pleased when you fuck off.

Is it possible to fit the sump with velcro rather than nuts and bolts?

Yes. Adding a second would be superfluous.

I didn't get it either.  Try typing intelligibly, it's really not that fucking hard.  Or better still don't type at all.

Hello Hawkeyethenoo. We have looked into your mission critical issue and we can confirm you're an baws oot idiot. You bought two left hand side drop links. Houston, over and out.

You need to de-glaze the cylinders with a honing tool or at least use some oiled 600 production paper otherwise the new rings won't bed in and you really will burn through the contents of the sump.

BL want to make a sports car aimed at the US market so it makes sense to build a factory on a west facing port, Liverpool for example. It shuts within a few years but despite that 35 years later JLR make a success of building Ewoks for export to America in a factory a mile up the road. 
 
I did discuss this in this thread...
.... but the cum guzzling, fuck knuckle admins at the time decided to move the thread (without my knowledge) off the main board to die in the off topic section.
