Ok, how about James is getting away with having run his fuel tank dry... ;D
Where does he say he ran his fuel tank dry?
Second last paragraph in his original post.

I ran the R Class out once and it wasn't happy for a while after... fortunately it didn't kill the lift pump :-[

If it fired straight off then it sounds like you got away with it.
Fixed for Englishness
Gotten is the past participle of getting. :P

Gotten is what Yanks do ....

My biggest torque wrench goes to 210 Nm, and I'll probably turn it some extra degrees afterwards and be happy.

That exactly what the local garage said he'd done when I gave him a hub/bearing to fit to my Omega. I never had a subsequent problem

never owned a Princess although when they first came out I did like the look of them compared to the three box saloons everyone else was churning out[Cortina/fiat 131/132/Mirafiori etc] I did however have an Ambassador 2.0HLS in the late '80's.comfy,spacious and reliable[could have done with a 5 speed gearbox] I was absolutely gutted when it was written off by a drunk in a Transit van.

it was only in recent years when someone pointed it out to me that I realised one was a hatchback & the other had a boot!   ??? ;D ;D ;D Shows how much notice I took of them.  ::) ::)
But .... I can remember way back when new car registrations came out on 1st Aug .... MEN 700R was the first new reg I saw that day & it was on a white Princess.  :y

There's 3 conifers about 50 foot high, 2 gardens away from me that need a similar trim ::)
 if anyone has the lads mobile number ? :D

and if he could then cut down the sycamore that is my daughter's neighbour's garden .... its roots are lifting their drive & its branches are now brushing her house.  :y

 Given the average UK house price is £290k, ....

we were in Whitstable the other day ... property prices around there must bring a tear to the eye of any 1st time buyer. £Half-a-million plus for a terrace!  :o

Johnny does have a point ..... Allan has been the/part of the reason why various people have left the forum over the years 🙄

The last HBV I changed was on a campsite with basic tools .... i just removed the scuttle (&maybe the wipers ..... it was a while back now)
