Degsy Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 80 pence a litre :shocked: I thought you were trying to get diesel at off shore prices, UK tax (rip off) free at around 20p a litre or something. Then after November you were then forced to use UK red diesel, at agricultural tax rates, at approx 50p litre. Seems like I've missed something. Red diesel at 50p litre....... I wish, last price we had for bulk delivery last week was 84p litre, I'd love to know where you can get it for 50p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormin Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Red diesel at 50p litre....... I wish, last price we had for bulk delivery last week was 84p litre, I'd love to know where you can get it for 50p Got to admit it's a good while since I bought any for the steam cleaner but it used to be about half the price of white, what's happened that it's now 75% of cost of white? Surprised the farmers haven't been up in arms! Not worth trying to run your vehicle on the road on red now if there's that little price difference the risk of getting caught certainly isn't worth it. I've just drained 80 litres of red diesel out of my Ward La France tank ready for cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 At one point the Gov't said that red diesel was to be withdrawn and hinted at some sort of a rebate system based on using normal white diesel. Since a 10 year old could have told them that would be unworkable it now appears to be a back door way of achieving the same result.:argh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest catweazle (Banned Member) Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 The latest is instead of self declaration which would need policing,they may do a 60/40 split which doesnt need policing.The difference in tax is i believe heating battery charging 9plitre propulsion 55plitre.one things for sure its the last tine i will be filling up,its all over bar the shouting.

Stormin Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Can't you take your boat twelve miles off-shore or whatever puts you in international waters and fill up off a mobile tanker and avoid all tax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest catweazle (Banned Member) Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Rings in hot water to aid assembly, I didnt have a ring expander big enough,i found warmed up they went on resonably easy by hand,you can feel whats happening better i think without the expander,i must remember to leave the gaps lined up so as to let more oil up to the top of the piston.

Richard Farrant Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Now have you spotted the .........ww2 object. Would that be the illuminated magnifier, so that you can read the workshop manual ? :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 and would the deliberate mistake be lining all the ring gaps up ? Would not get oil to the top, but loose compression to the bottom :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Did you realign the gaps in the rings before putting piston into liner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you there, having seen the pics of CW under the engine in the confined space, afraid I would have trouble doing that sort of thing now, with bad back and stiff knees :shake: Best of luck, CW, guess you are going down tomorrow?
