Not only files, but a recovery disc or USB is important... I'm now running an old version of Windows 7 after the SSD hard disc (which was the boot drive for Windows 10) failed this morning and I don't have a recovery disc! Fortunately I retained the old hard drive as a back up and it still has a version of Windows 7 which I've got running....... ho hum

Roger, is the wiper motor file now called car contents? Just wondering if you have accidentally used the same name and overwritten the old file which is why you got the pop up asking if you wanted to replace it. I've done the same in the past but can't help with a solution...

You can access Stuart's lead loading seminar directly via the members area of the website, there's a link from the members area front page to 'exclusive video seminars'

Can't find anything for the TR4 but on the 3rd page of this thread there is a photo of the baffle positions in a TR6

It's in the main website Members Area, then 'What you can access' third item down 'Exclusive video seminars'.

I think that the Vanguard block has the dipstick on the 'wrong' side of the distributor, more towards the middle.

Told Alec that I would raise a glass in the old grandstand at the start of the 6 hours, either to his health or to his memory, so I'll be there.....

On the few occasions that I have removed a cherished number, DVLA have reissued the original number automatically.

Before Duckhams disappeared it lost it's green colour. I remember being told by someone from Castrol that the green dye was particularly nasty stuff and they weren't allowed to include it anymore for elf and safety reasons. Never mind the ZDDP, will it be green!!

Thanks Peter, think that I'll be in the same position. I was particularly concerned by the first sentence as it seems that the UK are reading more into the ruling than other countries.....

Peter I'm not sure that public liability cover will do. Don't understand what else they may need but the FBHVC articles (in particular Issue 2 2017) indicates that it has nothing to do with Vnuk. "The ECJ ruling has apparently caused more concern in the UK than many jurisdictions for reasons which are not quite clear and which I have no space to go into here. In short the Government has decided they do have a need to be compliant with the Directive and to compel insurance of all motor vehicles, whether or not they are used on the highway. To be clear, none of this is affected by, nor is it concerned with, public liability or occupiers’ liability insurance. On the one hand this means they are looking at such vehicles as Segways and ride-on mowers, and on the other it means they are now looking at compulsory insurance of all vehicles involved in motor sport. They are also considering whether they need to require insurance of all vehicles on SORN"

Thanks for all the work Peter, you have certainly inspired me to do some further reading about SUs. Link you gave appears to need a login and password.... Thanks again Malcolm

That manifold looks very good, well done. What size chokes are the R1s?

Not directly relevant to the first post in this thread, but yesterday I met someone whose Bristol suffered body damage in an accident and whose insurer immediately paid out full agreed value, and he got the salvage FOC. He was very positive about the broker and the insurer but his quote for repair of the salvage was much more than the agreed value so he has to decide whether to sell the salvage or put his hand in his pocket and spend more than the amount received on repairing the car. Although his policy was better than the TRR scheme in that he gets the salvage FOC, it was worse in that there was no uplift option which might have avoided the decision that he now faces

If you want one like the one's that jonny250 made which only begin to beep after a certain number of flashes, there are these http://www.audicator.com/product.html but a lot more expensive than a straightforward buzzer.
