Junkman Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Well, the car made it here in one piece.This can't be said about Dugong, and for that reason, I delivered him straight to bed.Next new news tomorrow, when I see it in daylight for the first time.

vulgalour Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 If your Dugong is difficult to get started in the morning, try applying a dose of bacon and strong tea. I'm sure I read this in the 1983 Dugong brochure. worldofceri, saucedoctor, wuvvum and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Dugong did a valiant job getting this thing here, enduring HM's railways and all that sort of rot.Then he drove this thing up here, 350 miles at 14,000 OMGRPM bader glory making his ears bleed.He is a hero if there ever was one. In true Austrian fashion, I'm going to top up his doubtless depleted bodily fluids with an insane amount of beer tomorrow evening. cms206 and trigger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skattrd Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 We await tales of dugongs journey with baited breath. The cars got to be a decent runner to make the journey from Cornwall, plus a bit of a de-coke on the way up. cms206 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Well, there isn't any oil left in the engine now, which just shows how coked up it must have been.Oil filter on order. After a nice oil change, it should remedy itself.Was the same story with the Mybitofshite, which spent all its former life on the Isle of Wight,then in that there London. It was so coked up, that it struggled to do 50. Drank all of its sumpcontent on the way to here, then behaved in an exemplary manner after the oil was changedtwice in short order.

twosmoke300 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Naughty dugung , I gave him a litre of oil just in case . Or did it burn that too. Its 5w40 fully syn pd spec oil if you need it for owt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 5W40 is probably a bit thin when driven at motorway speeds for hours on end, so that would contribute to it being burnt quicker.The litre of oil is still in the boot. For the next 15 mins, because then I have lunch break and dump it into the engine.You'll see, everything will be fine after one or two oil changes.

dugong Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 It was full when I left and hadn't used any by the time I got to Gordano services on the M5 and it cooled. I'd have topped it up had it needed it. Perhaps the oil consumption co-incided with the time of the journey it swapped its rigger boots for something lighter?Was watching the mirror for the oil cloud accelerating - tgere wasn't any. A 65mph 5 hour run would clean anything out....or starve the bearings dry. Phil refused payment for the Royal Purple, BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I've only seen it in the dark, but it looked like a lovely little thing to me. I liked Dugong's, so why wouldn't I like one with a loft conversion? Junkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Having spent some time with this today I declare it a splendid little car. The Diamatic transmission is an interesting thing, looking very much like a normal automatic but one which does not actually shift gear for you. There's some good information in the handbook. Here's how to install a turbo: There's a diagram on how to avoid the DVLA giving your Charade a Q-plate: And here's a postcard from the world's shittiest seaside resort: CONELRAD endorses this advice to keep your car away from fallout. Doing so should minimise the number of dead boodies you encounter. Hello, what's this behind the manual? A 35mm film canister... with something inside? I hope it's undeveloped film! . . . No, it's, uh... a rock. Thank you for the rock cylinder, lovejoy. Jim Bergerac, Jon, nacho man and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 That film canister with the esoteric rock will remain in the car.Only the Gods know what would happen if I remove it. tooSavvy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
