Excellent.
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
You have 99 more posts and the illusion is shattered
I love that sort of humour where it makes so much sense

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

: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

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
