Hi Simon
Yes, a combo of short runs sorting out issues + the roads where I live have become impossible to get a decent run on. Unfortunately means braving the M3/M4. Higher survival chances on the Somme

I suspect the bores are glazing a little + muck building up in pipes.....

Hi Paul
I suspect the lack of decent runs and short runs hasn't helped. Apparently it's clear here on Saturday morning, so a nice early start and run out to Reading and back (70 miles return). That might be what the doctor ordered

My questio...

Hi All Probably a common issue, but the olive fitting that connects the oil line to the MK1 head adapter fitting is persistently leaking and no manner of tightening seems to help. The fitting is part of the Drags line, but can a replacement fitting be sourced and resoldered to the copper line? Or po...

Hi All I have done a first pass of the gear centre nickeling, and fitted to the shaft as test (without key). I have to say the results are really pleasing and I feel I'm on the way to a successful outcome. The gear was markedly more snug than before and required a moderate amount of force to fit. A ...
