Hi Woody, greetings from Australia. Welcome to the YT club. Excellent choice!

Yes, it's normal to remove the bonnet to remove the battery. The battery box is centrally placed to facilitate RH and LH drive. But you should be above to remove the box lid easily from either side to access the battery terminals.

The jackall system likely needs a complete refirb. Others in this gr...

“ Best hope? Win the lottery and emmigrate.”

Where to? That’s the question.

Well there it is.

At least Starmer can limp on until a general election, hopefully sooner than 2029, thus keeping the ultra looney socialists like mad Millipede and thick Rayner from taking charge.

But it doesn't look much better than that.

Reform did well but far from well enough to likely have a big majority in a general election. If there's anything remaining of the ...

Yep the wife hunts in charity shops too. As you say, designer stuff, very cheap, often new. Bargains galore according to her.

And I'm forced to admit sometimes she's dead right. It doesn't have to be new, just in good condition. ka-ching. 🤣🤣

Unless yours is a very early TF, the fuel pump is located out of sight on the chassis just in front of the right rear wheel.

That there is more drag on one side than the other points towards the cause being at the wheel end - if is was just the m/cylinder then both would be the same.
Most common cause is sticky caliper pistons, but also a brake hose failing internally can act like a valve.
Sticky pistons in either cal...

Just to add to the old fuel comments...on the Canadian series Ice Pilots, (great reality series if you like old airplanes) two mechanics were sent to an airport to get at DC3 ready to be put back in service. It had been sitting for a number of years.
They could not get the engines to start. Avgas is refined to have long storage life as it often sits in barrels for years in remote area...

R Wilson, on your diagram the nut in question on mine is 31RH, 65LH, both LH on mine.

Im wondering about 64 as well...not sure what that part is

This is an adventure.

As an added note, one of my bearings (58) was a bit rough, so I spent an hour with the bearing guy at my local parts supplier and I "think" I have identified modern tapered bearings and an oil seal (66)...
