Old Mart has shown what the manufacturers sell as the 'Special' tool to remove them. Drive tang break off can be a problem when fitting.

200cc Cat?

One suggestion, are the bearings dry? Oilite bushes do dry out. Second, a warning, the guts shown look similar to those on my floorstanding bedroom fan. When trying to readjust the position of the head unit, the plastic cover crumbled. OK it's a few years old now but one can only assume (?) the UV stabilisation of the plastic wasn't a priority to the far eastern manufacturer.

It was off when this happened.

It could be helpful in cases like this that the O/P gives their Universal location. This COULD give an indication of what may have been the threading system used in that location.

For years, the engineer that proposed the site of the reservoir to feed Bradford was ridiculed as the scale was far too big to be needed. Years later, it became the norm for extra revenue to be generated by selling excess water to the surrounding townships.

In the past, common sense was regarded as a virtue, sadly, this has been superseded by stupidity.

Think you'll find 'Yorkshire water' is now a French conglomerate.

I used to be an optimist but years of disillusionment has made me into a pessimist.

Latest quotation from existing household insurance company just hit the mat. With no change in building or contents insured value, 'New' three year fixed price contract shows an increase of more than fifty percent on existing charge. We are, at this point in time 'In consultation'

"Lots of these couriers are foreigners who come over here for the good life and they should at least do a proper job"

Be VERY careful what you say Tony, cos ANY criticism of 'Foreign' workers invokes the scream of racism.

Lot to be said for walking a mile in another mans shoes.

The type Chris is describing seems to be the TP Link which is a self contained wall plug NOT a wart.

Yes Nigel B. It was a series in ME and highlighted both sides of the Atlantic's need for speed of manufacture for war supplies. UK for blocks for warships and TLOTF copy turning of rifle stocks at the Springfield works for the war of independence.

Should that be 'Duels ON motorways?'

Regards Ian.

And anyone who has had one of the 'coil packs' fail on a Punto will be aware that it also takes the ECU with it. Old school coil, about £20, 'New age coil pack AND ECU, £600.

Regards Ian.

Carbon string leads were the first in line to replace with copper when engine miss fires occurred. All the new gizmoes, coil packs and coil on leads are for one thing....... KERCHING.

Regards Ian.

There was a home build mag table shown on t'internet a few years ago.

Regards Ian.

Trouble is, so many of the 'Report to' seem to be only to serve the feel good factor. TPS doesn't stop all calls, 'Phishing ' and 'Block' on t'internet don't either.

The road to hell is paved with good intention.

Everyone has their own opinion but only the muddy raters have the blue pencil and the spike.

Only true tamperproof fixing I've come across is the C/S woodscrew with back ramped drive faces.

Regards Ian.

Cover and internal pages glossy cos the paper doesn't absorb the ink, easier to wash the paper pulp for recycling. You can still smudge the early MEWs.

Regards Ian.

Chances are, if you want 'old school', it will have to be re-imported via China or previously Taiwan in 'New clothes'. Three phase machinery was a good cheap purchase years ago when we were dismantling the British manufacturing industry. Pity (or fortuitous) inverters weren't the norm at that time.

Regards Ian.

Don't forget, if you go for inverted three phase variable speed supply, you may need an extra cooling supply to the motor.

Only sound better than a Merlin on song is four of them in close formation. OR on occasion, four plus two.
