Is any spit OK to use or has it got to be MarkDTM Spit ;D


Most spit is OK, beware though, mother in law spit has a habit of dissolving all know substances.

Stoke spit would probably just make the valve dirtier!
You're a wicked man, Mr DTM, and you will burn in hell saying such things ;D

Though I seem to recall your Mother-In-Law has a sharp tongue when I met her once  :-[ (and I probably deserved it)

I should add, that is how a head face should look if the anti freeze has been changed at the correct intervals.....if you want to see what happens when you dont, look in the 4 pot thread in the help area!

So how much is all this work costing Mr. Dundee, can I leave my car at your place and collect it in a few months and in the mean time you rebuild my engine :)

I'm starting a new job in Germany on Monday and was hoping to take the new 3.2 omega but I'm using about a litre of coolant a day and only covering 20 miles and the inside of the  oil filler cap is covered with mayo :-[

I was going to call you the other day when I was walking round b&q (lunchtime, I was bored!), to ask what paint stripper to buy...

I am only charging 5 quid an hour....so the bill is currently 3755 quid (I didn't tell him it was for every hour its stood on my drive  ;D ;D).

Once this is done, I have a little building project to get going!

Wilkinsons own....its the cheapest you can get.

If its smells nasty and the fumes make your skin turn red then its good stuff.....if it says stupid things on the tin such as 'water based' then its about as much use as a kebab van at a vegans conference
