    They strongly try to talk you out of them, but they are allowed. If the car doesn't sell, they don't make money. More recently they added the ability for the buyer and seller to reach a deal if the reserve isn't met.

    Thanks Anam,

    I'd found one of the links, but not the other one.

    I have looked at the top of the machining and couldn't see a difference - I think I will need to look again.

    I'm not up there till next Saturday, so I'll update then - possibly with pictures as I look for the difference !

    Thanks "Malc2",


    tbh all I am trying to do is make sure that neither of the...

    Nice looking PA I thought BAT didn’t allow reserves.

    Anything round the coil (with the exception of the condenser if you had one) would usually cause the tach to jump up and down.

    Fuel loss from one carb would cause loss of power and a regular misfiring beat in the exhaust until it sorted itself out again. Had it been the pump it would likely affect one carb first then the other then be total loss of power depending on how long the problem...

    New Chinese EV can charge in to 70% in 5 minutes, to 97% in 12 minutes, and has a range of up to 497 miles.

    "BYD said it also plans to install up to 300 ‘Flash Chargers' in the UK this year while also recently unveiling its Flash Charging station forecourts in China, which are similar to tradition filling stations."

    That's a very useful reply David.

    Sounds like V&C must machine for a lip seal too then, since there's nothing standard available off the shelf.

    On the pistons seals, I found a number of companies who make/supply piston seals. Need to ring them for sizes.

    These are just three of them. Must be one out there who can supply the right shape/material/size of piston seal for ou...

    Dave - good point, I hadn't noticed that! Another thing to add to the list of things to sort.

    Paul, good tip re the hose fitting and the inner wing- will check tomorrow. The alternator has a sliding bush at the rear lug. All the pulleys seem to be aligned - alternator is putting out 14.4V across the battery, and there are no funny noises coming from the pulleys or belts.

    However...
