Didn't expect to have to do this today. Downpipe to gearbox support bracket had cracked and separated from the exhaust. Horrible rattle and extra strain on the remaining exhaust hangers so needed doing ASAP. Clarke's 130EN in fluxcore mode sorted it out. #bankholidaypeugeotrepair

🚨 | Margaret Thatcher - ‘The state has no source of money other than the money that people earn themselves. There is no such thing as public money there is only taxpayers money’ 💥 Rachel Reeves didn't get this memo in her studies. Robbing the public blind through taxation.

Our wildlife raised larch sleeper pond (built in 2020) has been leaking due to the wood rotting and water pressure forcing the sleepers apart & tearing the liner. Scissor jack used to realign then stakes hammered in until it can be rebuilt in the winter when wildlife is dormant.

Apparently in the Toronto area. Kinda like it.

2002 Mercedes-Benz E220 CDI The Taxi was imported to Finland from Hamburg, Germany. Not even the Finnish DMV believed the mileage, they thought it had 190 000 km on the clock but instead, the car had 2 190 000 km. The engine is still original. The automatic transmission got

🚍 Cambridge Past, Present & Future’s alternative uses existing roads, saves £ms & spares Coton Orchard. The GCP dismiss it as “failing essential design, safety & environmental standards”. This is the same County just fined £6m over busway safety, now pushing a half-designed route that bulldozes 4

Was supposed to be going to Bedford looking at replacement cars for the Xtrail. Guess who forgot the A428 was closed this weekend and a ridiculously long diversion put in place in the opposite direction that passed so close to where we live I drove back home and had beer instead.

Only the finest is plastic used in Dodge ram control arms and suspension components

Installing the tiebars after new paint and urethane bushes but the bolt holes now don't line up or rather one or the other does but not both. Got to pre-load the arm by pulling it towards the front while keeping it approx in ride height position as if the car was on its wheels.

Finally got the arm to tiebar bolt holes to line up. Took a lot of force so ratchet strapped the scissor jack to the arm as I didn't fancy that lot flying backwards as due to lack of room, I was sitting in front of it. #Rover216GTi

Anti-rollbar now installed. Luckily the nearside clamp to subframe bolt holes all lined up after the subframe fabrication and welding earlier this year. #Rover216GTi

33 years of oily gritty dirt cleaned off the block by hand using brake cleaner, Gunk and a stiff bristled brush. Mechanically this engine is still in great condition despite 150k miles. Before it was SORN'd, it was doing a 75 mile roundtrip commute. #Rover216GTi_twincam

Ultrasonic cleaning of bolts and brackets for the front bumper trim and gear lever mounting. Even though it's not 'loud', the buzzing goes through ear defenders so one cannot be in the vicinity when it's running. #ultrasonic_cleaningofcarparts

Time for some de-rusting by electrolysis then some zinc plating. The bumper trim clips are unobtainable so galvanising and reusing once the rust pitting is clear is the only way. A bit of a faff, they won't be seen but still less hassle than trying to track down obscure parts.

I am longing to see our adenoidal leader explaining his way out of this one.

These are just some of the stolen vehicles found by the team at a farm in Great Shelford last weekend. 🚨 After receiving reports from a tracker company of a stolen vehicle from London tracking near a location in Great Shelford, officers attended and found not just one but

The last high-revving naturally aspirated V8 from Audi. The B8 RS5 carried Audi’s last great naturally aspirated V8. A 4.2-litre screamer that revved all the way to 8,500 rpm. Quattro grip made it usable every day, while the soundtrack made it unforgettable. It wasn’t the fastest

Boddingtons Cream of Manchester “By’eck, it’s gorgeous”!!!

Amazed to not only see a new species of butterfly that I’ve only previously seen abroad, but also to record it less than a mile from my house, and to top it off, an even rarer variant call “Helice.” Ladies & gentlemen, I give you the Clouded Yellow…! 😍🦋
