Go to a rather doctor you big wuss!
I did. rather waste of time.
And no, it wasn't.

Can we get him sectioned and treated for his own good.....we need a copper, a doc and a social worker iirc? :P

75 grains of lead in the left ear.  Inserted from the right ear.

Certainly stops greyhounds running round in circles, not sure for TB's.....   :-\
Yes i did politely suggest a Physiotherapist, knowing all the while something a bit .... "stronger" is required.  :-\

Long before. Loooong before. I keep finding swipes of copper around the place. It's either TB or the curry. Not sure which. ;D

 :y Today I replaced the Rocker cover gasket and HT leads,  :y

after yesterdays run to London 140 mile round trip ( it ran so lumpy on tick over since I bought it anyway ) but after the trip I knew I needed to sort out the "cough.. cough.. splutter" at 2000 revs trying to accelerate,so last night looked on here and saw a pinking problem that sounded similar and went for the dis pack,plugs and leads, though I knew mine had an oil leak from the rocker cover, it was filled with oil in all the plug recesses,so decided to do that too, didnt use the dis pack as it looked almost new and didn't have a deep enough spark plug tool to do them either, not very well prepared lol.   :-[  anyway it seems to have cured the problem for now anyway  :y  ticks-over and runs lovely  8) spark plugs will be a job for this weekend  :)

Cleaned inside and out. Was bloody filthy after the cold snap.
I went from "why did I bother with a black car" to "ooh yeah, that's why!".
Vary satisfying to clean.  8) however short lived that may be.   ;D

Thought about looking at the blowing exhaust joint on TBE...

....but decided that would be desperately irresponsible, so jumped in a hot bath instead.

Patched the exhaust with one of those Holts(?) metal wraps. Only to look down the silencer given all the rust rattling around in there only to see a load of horse hair dangling in the gas flow. Shouldn't block but I'll have to keep an eye on it.

And, after sussing out where the drone was coming from, fitted ANOTHER front wheel baring... <leaves while swearing heavily under breath>

Drained the coolant.
Fitted new temp sender.
Pulled a pen and some melted sweets out from underneath the drivers seat wedged on the slider  :o
Replaced the servotronic relay .
Looked at the wiring for the heated seat ......quickly closed the door and forgot about it   ::)
