Joints were checked all good as was front suspension.

If we talk about illegal immigrants thats not racist in itself. Circa 2002 just before I retired we had a family of Iraqi Kurds in custody that had been arrested after getting out of the back of a lorry. Mum, Dad, son aged about 6 yrs, daughter aged about 4 years. They were with us for about...

As I have posted the strange vibration from what feels like the front end of our Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ has been diagnosed as being a fault in the Transfer Box. I was told to get a second opinion - not charged for the diagnosis that consisted of removing the front drive shaft - that apparently...

Talking about Illegal immigration reminded me of an incident. As an example of how a determined person can get to the UK I remembered a particular chap who came from Ascension Island that although it is / was a British Dependency it's citizens are not British so I have no right to enter the UK...

Mouse Trap Video Interesting Video it might be basic but it does demonstrate the game of tag involved in a virus spread.

So you think we intercept and stop every boat or light aircraft that lands in the UK. Sorry but just like drugs we only detect a fraction of what enters the UK. As regards to illegals who enter the UK here in a little village called Duffield 6 came out a container and were brought to the Custody...

Good one !

Has the fuel filter been changed recently - cheap replacements can be the culprit.

Was it an Organic Pig ? Next you will be saying there is such a thing as a inorganic pig ! lol

Another Ted rant You are right about who will pay - when we bailed out the banks - it's the Government that pay - then we pay them back with increases in direct & indirect taxation. A good friend of mine who has done very well for himself has money spread over different banks so his deposits...

Consequential Deaths factor I'm with you on consequential deaths such as some non urgent treatments that turn out to be fatal. Then as a result of mental illness or depression that leads to more suicides than normal (6-7 thousand a year is average). To offset that a reduction in road deaths...

I think part of the mechanism that is well understood is the influenza type behaviour of spread. What is not understood is why the spread of infection varies in different populations, housing density, demographics etc. I for one accept the basic premis of it being contagious from person to...

FFS Rick - no offence - the virus is spread from person to person by direct contact or indirect contact from being close to someone who has the virus. How do you think its spreads ?? People are moaning we locked down too late already and lost lives. If we carried on all working just the same...

This is what I think we are doing. My understanding and I could be wrong is that the lockdown was intended to reduce the rapid spread so our hospitals could cope with the number of people needing ventilators at the same time. As an example say the virus was expected to kill 50,000 without...

Local Garage Diagnosis is its the Transfer Box ! My local garage looked at the Jeep GC Wj today and after removing the front drive shaft coupling 80-90 % of the vibration at 70 mph has gone. Advised to get second opinion but other stuff like wheels, tyres & front suspension has been ruled out...

There has been a greater emphasis on using words like Capacity to test rather than Physical Test numbers. We have been told we are following the science but the trouble is the science is pretty thin on the ground. Apparently the Chineses had identified quite early on that smokers are more...

Trouble is would the public have responded in the same way if there had been very few UK deaths but instead we imposed a lockdown based on other countries figures not our own? Looking at the difficulty in getting the testing levels up even now not sure we could have done it sooner. Until a...

That's just not true Rick the figures are false the clue is "MAY" Cancer treatments are still being done pretty much as usual. it's just some journalist making up another scare story by extrapolating data from some delays to treatment. The Covid 19 deaths are far from over Rick expect the...

I've been there did that ! Back in 1978 when I was well skint I rebuilt a 1275 Cooper S engine that had been bored out plus 30 thou of an inch. I used a rotary glaze breaker in my drill to score the bores as I had fitted new piston rings. Engine rebuilt and it would not start. After a couple...

I will definitely look at some Videos now ! My Brother in Law speaks highly of him I will do some watching on You Tube. It has taken me 3 months of bedtime reading to finish the book - several times I had to re-read whole Chapters. My previous Christmas Book - The Idiot Brain took me a week...
