A useful tool
Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:43:42 -0800 (PST)
For ages I've been trying to figure out how to torque up old nuts and
bolts. So far my options have been to replace them with new ones or
grab them with whatever will work and guess the torque.
Replacing them obviously looses the history and patina of the engine
and I know how important it is to keep things unrest ...

Oil filter search?
Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:23:48 -0800 (PST)
Does anyone know of a source of info for comparing oil filter elements
by dimensions?
I need several obsolete paper elements, Croslands used to do them but
have discontinued (they [I]are[/I] obtainable from the engine makers
{Kelvin} but at a silly price). If I can find something with similar,
maybe slightly sma ...

What make?
Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:39:35 -0000
I just bought this unusual looking small genny (14" wide x 20" tall) on
e-bay, mainly because it was cheap & I've never seen anything like it
before!

Too technical for SEM?
Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:01:17 +0000
Reading Dan Howden's profile in this month's SEM, I was pleased to see
that he thinks there should be more technical articles. Now, some of you
may have seen my short (because of a paucity of information) piece on
'Systeme Loyal' in the previous issue - this has drawn comments from a

OT What do you think of Biodiesel?
Tue, 10 Nov 2009 09:29:17 -0000
I have a Skoda Octavia 1.9 turbo diesel.
I notice that a local filling station is selling Biodiesel at about 15P a litre
cheaper than normal diesel. I must find out if it is 100% Bio or a mix.
What are your opinions regarding this as a fuel. Can it cause problems.
TIA

"Can I help"
