Come south to Malvern, nice here apart from the slow drivers.

My flanges were so crusty, I fitted these after a tidy up with the angle grinder.

Obviously you would need to check the cat pipe diameter.

If you have time, get yourself some good TiN coated drill bits. Far tougher that ordinary HSS bits.

Thanks will have a look, any recommended makes?

Cheers, I got the other ones on order but I'm still keen to find genuine, if I can find them and afford them.

Does it still have SL?

The snapped studs - drill them out and use nuts and bolts.  Needs decent drill bits, not the 10,000 bits for 50p egay shite.

I take it you mean self levelling? The compressor runs sometimes but I don't think it's doing much if anything. There is a pipe going to the back shocks but they aren't actually connected into anything so I'm assuming it's now defunct.

Need to get a set of drill bits as I looked at the manifold and there is no way I'm attempting to take all that out with the car 1 inch above my nose, and also risk snapping more studs.

Any recommendations for good set of drills don't want to buy chinese stuff?

Cheers

And they will all need replacing again in the next decade or so, when 2G is sunsetted.

Looks like Thursday is old farts driving day out, for effs sake 35 in a 60 on a clear road. Then the road ruiners have filled a layby with gravel to wreck some side roads (same ones they ruined last year by the look of it) and have temp traffic lights so they can load wagons. 20mph and loose gravel signs on the main road so of course the old farts are slowing down even though the side roads have not been tared.

Round these parts, it used to be everyone drove 15mph below the speed limit* so when all the limits got lowered to 50mph, everywhere was 35mph, with not too many overtaking opportunities.  Now its started to creep to 20mph under the limit, making overtaking potentially easier.


*Except when they get to 30mph villages, when they speed up.

And that's just the old farts on the mobility scooters, forgot to ask, did you find the retirement property you were looking for?

Retirement .  You ain't that far behind me .  But, yes, I can see exactly what you were saying about each area 'D


Mablethorpe - shithole with nothing to do, nowhere really to eat either.  Quite disappointed.
Skeggy - exceeded my expectations.  Clean (aside from the druggies bus shelter) and litter free.  Obviously chavvy though.
Cleethorpes - much like what I thought Skeggy would be, mostly run down and full of bingo halls for the fag smoking grannies.


I don't think I will ever return to that area

Dropped the wheel off to see if it can be made round again.  He said he'd call me in a couple of hours, but he hasn't.  Not sure if thats a good or bad sign!

Bought a new tyre for mine today. Stupid Łucking sh!try roads. 

I don't think I'm a grand in yet this year.  I'm well over a grand in in the last year though.
