Nothing wrong with you - you must simply be a perfect match to your seats ....... Andy

Old subject, but probably worth mentioning that this is the only forum I frequent which doesn’t have this feature enabled - in my view it is an odd choice, although I also thought the reaction of some posters to the likes/dislikes their posts received from others could be very strange. ....... Andy

You really should be using a suitable spring-compressor - a search of the forum will find many threads on the subject and examples ranging from the original Churchill service tool to various home-made options. All use a big strong threaded bar through the spring with appropriate plates. do be careful - there is a lot of compressed force in there, using a decent tool would be wise. ...... Andy

Many people fabricate a tool to loosen it off - but try not to apply all the force to just one point, brass isn’t the strongest material - but it is very much easier with the (~£20) tool. Yes there is a fibre sealing washer. Both available from ORS in Sheffield, and probably elsewhere. ....... Andy

My parents have Airband at their rural location - it works well for them, around 40mbs download and 10 upload.

That is very good to know Stuart - I will check all my usual just-in-case storage places in the garage, I will give you a shout if I come up empty handed, much appreciated ........ Andy

I have one of the newer spin-on adapters..... I have had a nagging drip between the adaptor and the housing despite renewing the two seals as well as the filter at each change and ensuring all was flat/clean and tight. I just need to find the old housing that I put away in a safe place (hmmmm, perhaps too safe ) and I will be reverting to the canister type I think. ....... Andy

Super! Good to hear it has found a new custodian ...... Andy

That’s is my first thought as well ....... Andy

I found that the only time Became overly-anxious about the temperature of my 4 was when sitting in a traffic jam or very slow-moving traffic for a while - obviously more of concern during hot spells (which we had more of this summer) The std 4-blade fan was - in my view - never going to cope very well with my commute which would often involve stop-start slow moving traffic. simplest way to address this for me was to fit an electric fan - I chose a SPAL with a Revotec variable controller mounted in a boss in the water return pipe, with a manual override switch. All wired from an auxi

Well done Tim, congratulations on completing a super event! (And to all the other participants ) ....... Andy
