I believe you can still pick the rims up but they can be expensive. Backing bowls are available from Blanchards £45 + VAT per side and they should have the 3 adjuster screws. You can fit aftermarket 7" headlights, I replaced mine with Wipac Halogen units so I could see where I was going To remove headlights you push them in slightyl and turn anticlockwise and they should then pull off. The adjusting screws have backing springs and they hold them in place on a with a slotted mounting. The rims are held together with J clamps. Do not lose them the only place I found selling them wanted way to much money for them The fixings need to match 3 9 and 12 o'clock so civvy Land Rover units are no good but I believe you can get plastic bowls that work from other classic car part suppliers.

I believe they actually use baking soda by all accounts you can strip the paint off your car with the chrome and glass still in place with no damage. Crushed walnut shells may also be an alternative. Mike

Oh dear no room in the garage for another vehicle. Hang on a C130 a garage with wings:D Problem solved. Mike

It will eventually disappear, it also produces hydrogen gas, that burns well. Here is a video with aluminium foil. Mike s

Used to use caustic soda to decoke 2 stroke motorbike exhausts, evil stuff. Do not use on aluminium or any aluminium alloys. They have a habit of disappearing. White vinegar is also quite good at cleaning stuff. Mike

Fantastic job on the light. You were brave to try beating a metal egg in the first place. Final solution looks great. Mike

We had a bout a hour or so on Wednesday evening to add to the stuff that was already there. Yhe drive was clear before it started. This was 6.30 Thursday morning Mike

To apply logic you need a Vulcan Mike

What you guys need is one of these - everybody would be happy to stay behind you. pt better still one of these - who cares just drive over them Mike

Actually I work above a "Job Centre". Not quite sure why they call them that as they do not seem to find any for people. The snow is queued right up to the door, goes for a good few miles. Mike

Started at about 6.25 and was white by 9 I am a couple of miles from Amersham. Seen at least 2 idiots with snow gloves/chains on the rear wheels of their front wheel drive vehicles. Mike

I believe the only bit they got right is the B Rumour has it they are actually in Birmingham Mike

Did not the cubed one get some snow chains for the truck? I am sure he is just gagging for an excuse to try them out. If so the wine run should not be an issue. Remember you should not drink John Smiths from a wine glass, it does not work. However a pint of Champagne does. And I have my Friday snow so looks like Saturday sledging is on, once I have dug the car out of the way of the Land Rover. Mike

You guys are lucky. I think I have received some sort of threat. I woke up this morning with a beefburger on the pillow next to me. Mike

Not just your area. Thursday is our normal shop day, got there a bit earlier today. Either there is panic buying going on or bread and milk now contain horse and have been removed from the shelves And we are in civilized Bucks in M1/M25/M40 triangle. Mike

Then we both spend our time swearing about the structural engineer who insists the column needs to be in your doorway and its foundation blocking all my drainage routes.:-D It is one of those life things, it just is bit like Land Rovers and Jeeps:-D Mike

Civil engineer spending all my time designing roads and drains and cursing Architect's:D Mike

I have also heard that following a Typhoon there are quite often some nasty Mosquito's, but they are easier as they tend to find you. Mind you if it is waterlogged a pair of Wellingtons would be useful. Mike

You mean they are sending the "dancing diggers" for the press coverage:D Mike

Been snowing here in Bucks most off the day. Sadly it is the wrong sort of snow. The ground was not frozen, it is to warm, it is turning to slush. there is nowhere near enough and it is a Monday. What I want is freezing temperatures and 6 inches of snow over nifgt Friday and then I can get the Land Rover out and go sledging on a Saturday. Mike

Which also made it the rx-Strathallen flyer. Mike

Wayne It is just off the M$ at Newbury not far from the showground. Google the postcode RG18 9LT Mike

I first started going to car shows in the early 80s with a VW Beetle, many of those would levy a charge, some were around £6-8 for the weekend. Never really objected as we went ahd had a load of fun and met loads of interesting people. In many cases it is probably good value for money as where else can you camp with friends for that little? What I do object to is paying £5-10 to get into a pub on New Years eve. Mike

That would be nice, even better one either side of the Vulcan. However I doubt it will happen as BBMF do not seem to fly alongside "civilian" planes. However I will settle for another flying Lancaster. Just to whet your appetite here is a formation of 3 Lancs overflying a Hurricanes, 10 Spitfires and 1 Seafire Mike PS. Yes I know I faked it
