This may not be a replacement, but I'm sure it would make a good accessory ::)

OK chaps........serious for a moment.  Anyone who wants to attent this magnificent festival and partake of the ale, but does not have a chauffer............we could arrange a taxi share from Three Bridges station (yes the fabled place of the kebab eating Zarse).

Anyone interested let me know, and I will get organising.

Andy........Which day of the weekend is the show?



Right. Checked it out and it's on Monday 31st May, which is the bank holiday.

BTW does anyone know about the longevity properties of a Weetabix box when used on an engine as a gasket for a thermostat housing ? As it will be in contact with hot water, I rather think it will turn to something that looks like, well, wet Weetabix. Would I have been better off cutting up the Corn Flakes box? Or Golden Grahams?

Tough luck, I used the Weetabix box anyway, I'm just curious to know how long it will last.

PS Gibb, good news. Last week I stood in sick on the train back to Three Bridges late on friday night coming back from town! Even better, when I was being given a lift back next day to pick up my car, a seagull flying above us crapped, and about a pint and a half of green and white excrement splashed onto the windscreen right in front of me. Cue massive amounts of heaving and wretching. Hwwwuuurrrrppppp! As you know, I'm a bit squeamish. It really had my eyes running a treat and I had to spit that really thick slother you get out of the passenger window.
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

Andy - I suspect not long is the answer, but if you want to continue on the Blue Peter theme, try cutting up a cork floor tile... :)

Hmmmm....was that a "family friendly" post?  ::)

Can we presume that this year's Zarseposter is the only time we'll see the Commer???  :( :( :(

Sincere apologies Smokie, you're quite right. It will never happen again.

In mitigation, I can only say I'm a somewhat frustrated amateur mechanic at the moment. Particularly when a small but vital spring jumps out of it's housing and flies into the long grass of the field next door. Grrrr! Serves me right for "working from home" this morning!
