I can see the problem from here - there is a hairline split in the rubber water main from the thrust bracket ending at the gurney board - very hairline Mate, so it was easy to miss

OMFG what have you done to my engine, put it back where you found it - you said you were only going to do an oil change.

Good work Dylan I just wish I had your skills with a spanner.

I didn't think that Dylan needed any artificial stimulation, he's like the Duracell bunny he just keeps going on and on.

Don't be so daft Simon, it's the widget valve by the sprocket that's causing the problem I diagnosed it straight away as soon as the problem happened.

Fair play for getting on the next one so quickly. Fair play to Zara as well, I hope she's keeping you fed and watered in the evening!

Lets be fair about it here,who doesn't earn abit money on the side especially given what we get taxed in this country.
The only ones who don't are people who have no skills to offer or no get up and go outside of normal working hours to do it.
On top of that what is the difference really between selling something to make a few quid over busting your **** for it,moneys money in my book.
Keep up the good work Dylan
