loserone Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 Think the 106 is up for sale. May roffle, but we already have a 106 roffle going Anyway, if a piss yellow 1.1 106 with new tyres on the front and a slightly rippled passenger door for about £700 appeals to anyone, do holler. 83C and sdkrc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserone Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 The tyres on the Xantia were utterly fucked. New Goodyears went on tonight. it's now probably the smoothest riding thing I have ever driven.

LOL on a more serious note, its sad to see the Fergie up for sale! I was really looking forward to the Autoshite adventures with it, I hope it finds a good home, ideally with someone else on here @Saabnut @Mrs6C fancy another? imagine the collection caper if you drove it back!

LOL I've already been told that it's impossible to take the reg off a tractor, that you can't MOT it, and that it's not the right V5 anyway cause it says Diesel. Lots of know it alls who don't actually know much in the vintage tractor scene, online anyway. I reckon I could get a test on it with two tyres and a rim, so call it £1800 and it can be MOTd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbaldy Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 And as I've previously stated I know of a few tractors that have been plate raped even though people always say you can't. If someone buys it for that reason then it's their problem to overcome. Looks fairly well priced though so should sell easy enough 👍 DodgeRover 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saabnut Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 TVO is generally 2/3rds petrol and 1/3 kero. It still uses a spark ignition. Veg works in a diesel with compression ignition. So no, veg will not work in a TVO system as it is impossible to ignite veg oil with a spark. Talbot, loserone and LightBulbFun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(like for example I dont know how well veg oil vaporises compared to Kerosene/Paraffin so that might be a show stopper maybe?) No absolutely not. It would be like trying to run a petrol engine on diesel. Closest recipe for TVO is 4:1:0.5 burning paraffin (kero) : petrol : diesel (or a small dose of 2 stroke oil) Even then you will occasionally need to fiddle when doing light work or continual heavy work to avoid plug fouling.
