stagg chilli hot one is very good:D

same as a car just ten times bigger and ten heavier !,as a aside if u have front wheel drive car and need to get up a steep snow/icey hill and struggling try reversing up it bit of wieght transfer onto drive wheels can help ,got me out of poo few times ! halving tire px can help also.going down icey hill select first gear and go down with engine at idle , always amazes me in bad weather the number of people who have NO idea how to drive

plus gen public fundraising plus lott grant?

thought the jap ones might be more reliable?

thinking of buying a 4 wheel drive vehicle for winter up to about 2 grand have been looking at swb shoguns and similar ,dont really want a 4 wheel drive car ,any thoughts advice much appreciated.

west sussex calling flipping freezing roads clear think there might be more snow next week.

a bottom of starter panel is hand throttle , l/h side under flap is CHOKE ! or just call it the device that must never be mentioned!!

choke air valve ,choke starter valve all fitted to ferret solex carb, pull choke handle spindle rotates restricting air flow for start, i reckon its a choke !!

being a bit sad now! taken from workshop manual for b range petrol engines , solex type 40 nnip carb as fitted to my ferret at least has a choke, where the choke cable fixes to carb underneath cover plate which has solex embossed on it there is a choke starter valve cover, a choke air valve and a choke starter valve. agree in user hand book it refers to choke as a starter device . but its a choke ,all down to semantics! dont think i am missing point!

hand throttle at bottom of pod

cheeky!! my ford focus does not have a accelerator pedal ,its a engine acceleration module!

thats the choke:D

looks like a choke handle but unscrews like andy said at bootom of starting panel.

in this weather u can pull choke out to first position then start it soon as it starts push choke back in and set revs with hand throttle set revs with pedal, unscrew hand throttle to lock position bout 800 rpm run eng 3 mins stop it and check oil level dry sump system .warm weather from cold 3 pump of acc pedal then start it mine sputters a bit in this weather when cold after 10mins ish she purrs ! regards batt run it for half a hour every week should keep batts good make sure int lights are in fully off position park it with hanbrake off just chocked , before driving with eng off go thru 1 gear to 5, depress gear selector pedal 10 times in each gear to set freeplay and finally gear selector pedal is either fully down or right up do not slip it !. and all ferrets leak from exhaust tubes !! and u can tell with your hand when thermstat open , hand held over rad outlet , cold weather on a run will take at the least ten miles berore u can feel gearbox oils etc are up to temp before that they can feel v sluggish

no they dont got my records back in 5 days!

yep sounds like time to go freelance

i guess they will have to look in a ferret any way, have email from robert newman stating that proposals aimed at vehicles that look like hgvs !! and it is not there intension that a ferret is not caught up in this, we shall see.

just driven back from gatwick roads ****e no gritting in evidence.

i started the registering process at brighton dvla and for various reason the maidstone inspector did the inspection at home.

dvla maidstone came to me, to inspect ferret , i suggest u try to get a vist to mv by them.

spoke to vosa today re doing another years tax on ferret and at present time situation is still that ferret is motor tractor so use v112g form ,they guess at somtime in 2012 for implentation of changes, testing to be done at hgv testing centre, brakes with tapley device.

yep mine is too!

just got back from 20 min ferret run talk about sluggish till every thing gets up to temp!

too much antifreeze mixture can maken engine over heat 1 to 1 ratio will protect down to minus 36!

nice cooling airflow when u moving none when stationary , and the thing bout ferrets is does not matter if stationary or moving no speed related airflow thru rad!
