    Although I do online banking, I don't use any banking apps.

    If you have your wallet stolen you lose your driving licence and fifty quid...inconvenient but not the end of the world. Lose your phone and with it, if you've been swayed by the promise of " shiny new apps" , potentially, your lifesavings.


    And yes...latest publication from Virgin invites me to enjoy a " shiny new app"...

    I'm off to the Batcave....

    William.

    I am beginning to wonder if my previously documented oil sucking/burning issue ( which I assumed was due to a worn out engine is related to this inlet manifold as I didn't realise it was not standard.

    I have the engine out ( to replace the clutch thrust bearing ) and found what I feel was excessive oil in the intake - despite having a catch tank - so I feel you are on to...

    IF you were wanting to run H2's on that H4 manifold you'll need to make up a tapered spacer (plastic-aluminium) to reduce that tapered throat area back to a straight 1 1/4" diameter otherwise the depression straight after the carb. into the manifold will play hell with the airflow--

  • Malc Gilliver20 July 2025

    Dave and Rob.

    Thanks, just searched for an H4 carb setup and sure enough, that looks like the manifold I have.

    Do we know if the H4 manifold is better than the correct HS2 manifold for performance, I would assume that the later HS2 manifold 'should' be better ?

    Thanks

    30cm? Easy to have the right hand in the sink full of water, or gripping the metal tap, and the left hand plugging something in; -- if you were foolish. So 30cm/12 inches, min' is no protection anyway.

    When the RRB commences though (Royal assent possibly September 2025, commencement q2 2026? ), that socket position may well become an issue when the 'decent homes standard' -- hazards -- is a...

  • anamnesis20 July 2025

    That's not so bad.

    Since the 13/14th edition of the reg's, socket outlets should be 6 inches/150mm above kitchen work surfaces.

    But there wasn't/isn't a min distance from a sink reg. Only recommendations.

    Now though, part P of the building reg's do say/suggest 30mm min distance.

    But it was always common sense that you wouldn't stick a socket behind a tap or so ...
