Just passing through for a couple of days while on the way down to NC this weekend, I'd clocked that Adiabatic was right by where my route would take me, so promised alcohol in exchange for goony interaction. Jealous of your setup, Adiabatic, enjoy the beer!

The "gets you through" Irn Bru advert series is loving hilarious. WKD do an Iron Brew flavour, there's a cocktail called a Demeanor which has a similar taste to Irn Bru. Of course, the correct technique is to pour regular Irn Bru down your gullet over a preparatory dose of Tennent's, separating the dissimilar liquids with a fish supper or a munchie box.

Even if the valves look ok, is it worth pulling them and checking?

Sorry, I meant you can get a slight bend on a valve that's not clear until you pull it, but rubs on the guide in use.

Well, I'll spray for rust and indignant refutations over being called a Jeep, but if they've got themselves dug in you're going to have D2 CDL conversions and P38 suspension pumps all over the place come summer. I can give you something for the swivel seal leaks, if you think you can keep on top of it yourself"

How long do you have to leave the MJ out of the workshop before you're able to work on something else without cussing people for "buyin' dem furrin cars"?

Man, I need to get myself sorted out and join one of the local shooting clubs, start working towards a licence and buying some stuff (It's loving hilarious in the UK, I'm very jealous of the  way of doing things).Adiabatic posted:Yeah, I just tried to get it in his head how hosed up that is, and he in turn accused me of having a personal vendetta against him.

Raluek posted:Well, presumably the owner is doing the work, right? Just had my neighbour come to see me complaining about the clutch in their Peugeot 107. Garage has said it needs a new one, but I reckon an adjustment of the cable will do a world of good - it is worn, but not really slipping yet, so there's no reason it won't last a bit longer. Seeing as it's overdue for a service (something something teenage girls' cars  ), I said to get a quote for oil/filters/plugs with a clutch adjustment while they're in there, and if it's taking the piss, I'll sort them out. In a way I'd rather not, as want to work on my own stuff (and the access to the clutch cable looks like an utter sod for my monkey bastard hands), but it's neighbourly to not leave them hanging and, well, I think we're all a little more inclined to help cute girls needing simple servicing work than Subie Brahs wanting silly JDM conversions.

Out of interest, why is the TT swap a pig to do on US cars? Is the shell fundamentally different, or is it an issue of interference with the steering column, brake master/booster etc?

Over here, most places will do you a large bulk bag for a given aggregate. Usually something like 850kg. Compared to buying the little 25kg sacks, even a retail-biased place like Wickes will be about 30% cheaper that way. Still a lot less to have it loose by the ton, but I haven't done that for ages, and a lot of places prefer not to tit about with small loads. Of course, the cheapest option is to go collect yourself if you're able to.
