Old

Vs. New!

Would have been nicer if it wasn't raining all the time but I've done my 4th cambelt change now and the engine seems to still run fine!

That old belt looked like it could of gone at any time!

Yep! Especially as I'm fairly confident now it was the original 150k mile belt/waterpump setup 😂 (or it got done at a dealer once which I highly doubt...)

My Friends moved to Saltburn about ten years ago, to escape the increasing hoards of tourists overrunning their home town of Whitby.

Certainly would recommend a visit!

Do you like your friend or not? 😁

@Volksy Sorry if I offended you, I was trying to poke some fun at the idea that your friend retreated from the tourist hordes somewhere where you're advocating visiting.

Bought a 10 litre tub of brown messy fence paint yesterday.

Took it too the shop counter to pay for it

Cashier saw the bar code on top of the lid.

And turned the tube on its side to try and scan the barcode by moving the tub around ...

One of those times you take a step back !!!!

Re Merc E-Class - try changing the filters on a C-Class with the same engine and even less space in the engine bay. Daft bit of design.

bmwr1150 - lift the rear of the tank and its right there

most unfaired hondas - take off side panel remove snorkel itll be right there

current nc750x - take lid off fake tank take all the plastic off behind the handlebars unslot filter

stupidest place ever - clips made of cheese and no guarantee all the plastics will go back on straight/properly/unbroken

I had a BMW 320d with the M47 and recall the air filter being really easy. The oil filter location was fantastic too

I believe it's in the front bumper on my current Saab 95 and you can only do it from below. I haven't investigated. That's a job for an evening in spring

I remember one being "Which of these musicians was in 1970s supergroup Emerson, Lake and Palmer?"

Contestant reckoned it wasn't Greg Lake and went for Elton John

It's behind the corner of the bumper in a 6n polo too, certainly it is on the diesel.

It got quite difficult to change once the sills went too frilly to jack the car up.

I'm sure there may be another mature* individual who recalls a clip from It'll be alright on the night where a woman is aksed to name famous boxers.

She was apologetic in her response as she only knew the names of two boxers.

Cassius Clay ......

... and Muhammad Ali🤦

Or the Family Fortunes outtake where the family were asked "name something that's read" and, in a broad Oirish accent, Gran said "Is it my red cardigan ?"

A bit like that supposed GCSE geography answer to “Name five artic animals”

Answer: “A polar bear and four seals”.

When we were at school, my best mate and I had to sit a history test.

He was very nervous, and forgot things easily.

The question was " who built the Bridgewater canal'

He went blank.

His answer? 'a lot of men!'

He got a mark for it!

The following year, the question read " who designed the Bridgewater canal' 😁

Youngest daughter has got some of those plaque disclosing tablets from the dentist.

She's never used them before.

I've started calling her Bluetooth.

She's not amused 🤣🤣🤣

Wonder if that's how Harald got his name?
