I don't recall any such article. I have looked in my index of Mascot technical articles as far back as 2008 but cannot find anything that would suggest such an article.

The two presenters are really pleasant guys and are keen to tell us they have given up full time salaried jobs to try to make a living from flipping old cars. The profit they make is less than the living wage so how do they exist. I suppose their main income comes from producing a one hour televion programme for each episode. I suspect the same applies to Bangers and Cash Restoring Cars. Every car...

A and A are the clamps for the butterfly levers.

I don't know an easy way to fix council tax.

Shouldn't council tax, or rates, have some relationship to how much demand you put on council services?

Should somebody, say a single person, who lives in a 3 bed semi, that happens to be worth more only because it's in an area with higher property values, pay more than say a family who live in the same size 3 bed semi, but in an area...

Dubious rubber?, a neighbour had 2 flexible brake hoses fail on his son's Discovery when he tried the brakes hard, the hoses came cleanly off the barb and out of the swaged end fitting, rather worrying.

AFAIR there was a MASC article about that, quite a few years ago. Alan will know; Alan knows that sort of historic MASC stuff!
I keep meaning to replace mine with new.

In many w...

Throttle linkage is in the lower half of the above.

A and B are the clamps that are set such that the two butterflies are opened in unison as the cable is pulled. This may need to be done after the carbs have been balanced for air flow and mixture i.e. both idle screws are set correctly. If you do it the other way round then when adjusting an idle screw the butterfly cam may be 'hanging...
