Hi Martyn, this Sunday coming I am ripping the motor to bits in one of "them there Bangers" (D6R LGP) sadly I have to do it by myself as there is no-body on site to give me a lift with the c/head, I am hoping there may be some other kit /excavator I can use for a lift, I will take a few pics as this tractors parked in a swamp of crap so if the sump has to be pulled, its going to be a right dog to work on, the " Hooded Claw " my wife had her car serviced the other day,I cannot get over the bill £3,500 I hope they changed the air in the tyres for that sort of cash, anyhow I hope to be down your way soon to help Karl with his Meccano set of a D8
"empty pockets" but a good lube job , tctractors

Nick I dont touch cars unless they are driven by my mother, the Hooded claw drives a 911 Carerra (993 last of the air cooled jobs) this is her every day chariot, we have had it a long time now but it is still in top condition, my "wheels" are a 110 L/rover and an M38a Willeys Jeep that I do my best to stop my wife from driving, her record is 4 sets of rear tyres in 5,000 miles in her banger, thankfully see has started to slow down slightly, but she has tested the tarmac on the M50 at some 3 digit speeds that its best not to print.
