Excellent. :lol: :lol:

Be sure to read the Haynes manual page as well.

Birmingham spanner = Hammer. Can be used to disassemble absolutely anything. Reassembly can be trickier.

A great read VC...or now you've passed 500 do I need to call you Mr.10 :lol: :lol:

You have 99 more posts and the illusion is shattered :lol:

I love that sort of humour where it makes so much sense :smile:

Oh dear - if you understand most of that you must be as old as me :lol:

Lucas and Haynes manuals. Strobe light, whitworth sockets - those were the days.

I wonder why I have an AF socket set in the garage - just in case? Of what? I doubt that either my wife's car or mine have any parts they would fit.

And the valve grinding tool and paste. Time for a clear out. :think:

All I do these days is lift the bonnet (hood for our US friends) to check the screen washer fluid.

Hi Ian

Have you got, under the bed, a box of valves salvaged form old radios. :lol: :lol:

Those were the days of instant TV repair....see which one's not lit and look in the box for one that says about the same on it :lol: :lol:

:shock: No Ian!..are you mad? I nearly had a coronary when I read that..how will you re-seat the valves in your Morris 1100 engine without that?..

Oh...errr..I'm going now :worried:

Derek :lol:

edit: My grinding paste tin is one of those twin ended jobbies...fine in one end, course in the other :nahnah:

Yes I remember my father doing that - but only after a few hefty thumps on the TV hadn't fixed it. Solid state electronics removed such simple fixes :lol:
