Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
Even a 50bhp A series in a car from the A series era would be enough to end up in court. Probably less so if fitted in today's lard arsed cars...150 horses is enough to lose your license fairly quickly if you try hard enough.You never get stuck behind meNo, because you only have 150 horses
, no harm done :0Ok, what I believed is that the O-ring is around the brass spacer in a groove. When this spacer contacts the camshaft bit you can feel it. Turning more just destroys the thread. Have to study this more when back in my carage. Have there my old original covers. Now sitting in my Mobile Home, having nice Easter Time.The o ring still sits proud. 8Nm is supposed to be enough to seal the hole, and still have some compression left in it. So defo possible to bend the covers by over tightening, as we've seen all too frequently by mechanics massively overtightening them, then claiming the covers are warped when the oil pisses out
Not all altnets are allowed access to Openreach owned ducts, so some have to dig up roads, pavements and the owner's property. So they run their own ducts and blow through them to their distribution nodes.It was a company called Jurassic Fibre (no me neither) that installed ours, and I've only seen one house on our road get connected so far.Ours is on the wall at the end of the small front gardens so, if you get connected, they have to bury the cable under the garden. Don't think I'd trust them to take up my block paving and put it back the same.
I don't think that they could have put the connection point in the pavement by my house in a worse place if they tried. Same with the neighbours as well.
Don't they just blow the fibre through the copper ducts that already go to the house. That's what they did here in MK. 900Mb sync for £32pm.
Yes, the current copper arrives in a duct, and Gigaclear and Swish have been in the area.You HAM boyz. ADSL/VDSL is like high voltage power lines to you
I think I got a leaflet through the door from one of them, saw no ISPs I recognised on the list of those available, so binned it.
I have a Zen fixed price for life contract currently so would need to be convinced I needed the extra speed to switch anyway, although ditching the shitty VDSL noise would be nice. That's more a problem of my neighbours not switching than me, however.
. And Youtube uploads dropped from about 3hrs to under 3m This - is it ever going to stop raining.If the drain is clear, given the age of all Omegas now, next step is to pull up the passenger carpet and prod the triangular-ish shaped bit of mild steel plate that covers where the steering column goes through on LHD models. Most of these are probably in a bad state of corrosion now, especially if scuttle drains have been blocked.
Unblocked scuttle drain and flushed out sludge (again). Might have to look at removing that rubber drain bung, but cant get my arms down past the pollen filter.

Thanks, yes, have to be careful with those plastic parts. What I often wonder is the warning of cam cover bolts overtightening. How can you warp the covers? It is 'Metal to Metal". I tighten them as long as I can feel this metal contact when the brass spacer contacts the head and that's it.The plastic cam covers can easily be overtightened on V6 engines Remember there is an o ring between the cam cover and the camshaft bit it bolts to.
Some company came and installed some in our road.. Put a point outside our neighbours' house and ours (we're number 3) then went off and never finished the rest of the road.Guessing they had a council grant to cover the village. They can say the road is provided, but unless a number of people further up the road register interest, they won't invest in running it further up the road.
I hear that Starlink is around 200 down and 13 up. No idea if that is good, bad, or somewhere in between. All I know is that our current speed is shit slow.You need to consider your usage, and if you need upload. Sat may or may not be suitable. Sat also tends to be a bit jittery as well.
That's a similar price to high speed fibre I think? If you have fibre that is...My 500Mb synchronous has just gone up... ...to £22
Bike engines were producing 100 BHP a litre NA back in the time of Moses.Yeah, but no torque, sadly. As nothing is better than 15,000+ rpm rattling your gonads
Quite simple really.....lots of revs and a carb for each cylinder.
The RS2000 had 150bhp (retuned from the 8v lump in the MK3 Granada/Sierra), but the 2.0 Zetec lump was 135/140 iirc.The Zetecs were underpowered from the moment they were launched, so ignore them. I remember that PoS 1.6 Zetec Focus she had for several years. What a crock of shite - not even remotely close to the 1.6 K series Rover I had at the same time. I think it claimed around 110bhp, but was flat as a witches tit... ....but could keep up with the equally shite 1.8 Focus her bro had at the same time
The Zetec S 170 in the Focus didn't appear until the MY2000 facelift.
The V6 Mundeo was 170bhp all day long.
Mercedes had 185bhp fuel injected twin cam straight six from the early 70's but mainstream stuff took a while to catch up.
The Honda 1.8 revved to about 8k so not sure if that counts
. Apart from when it randomly would cut out, which dozens of firmware updates never full resolved.
