My best years ❤️ them my tr250 tr6. Tr4 tr3 had them all . Them were the days my friends. Fun to drive easy to work on And they all fell apart ! Rust , wiring , was bad on them all . But the must fun driving cars ever made! Wish I had them all right now ❤ anyone else fell.the same way ?
@OffMyCloudАй бұрын
Up until about 25 years ago, rust was an issue with pretty much every British built car (in fact every car, no matter where it was built). But, I agree, British sports cars did have more than their fair share of reliability issues. Nevertheless, they all looked fantastic and drove well in their era, and thankfully there have been many enthusiasts since production ended who have kept them alive. Long may they last.

Should have slacked the adjuster off for the brake shoes through the disc before trying to hammer off next time. Just some advice
@OffMyCloud4 ай бұрын
I agree. For some reason, I'd thought that putting the car into Park Brake Service Mode at the start automatically pulled the brake shoes in, but I don't think it did. Then, of course, once I was into the job, with my head down cracking on, I didn't think to make life easier by using the adjuster, I just got to it with the hammer. All a learning experience as it's not a job I'd done before, so will know better next time.

As I suspected, it's a failure of the glow plugs that is causing this issue. It's potentially a very expensive repair (if the plugs snap off) and a lot specialists don't want to touch the job. It's not too bad for me, as I don't use the car much in the winter and if it's an emergency I use the method shown in the video. It's not ideal, but better than spending lots of money for the little I use it.

Thanks Rob. I'm sorry, but I do not know the answer to your question about how long fuel remains stable. Some people I've spoken with feel it "goes off" in a matter of weeks, but I keep a full tank in my car over several months through the winter and it seems to be fine. I'm sure there are ways of testing it, but perhaps it's not something that can be done at home. A job for a specialist chemist I think.

Even ESSO Super is labelled "E5", despite it not containing it (at least where and when I tested it last). As I understand it, the labelling is a legal requirement in the UK. It does not indicate that the fuel definitely contains 5% ethanol, only that 5% ethanol is the most it can contain.

"A petroleum expert" eh? Ethanol reduces the CO2 emissions from your engine (lower % of carbon in its make up) but it is hygroscopic (picks up moisture) and has a lower energy density so worsens fuel consumption.

Petrol pumps will now have to display the maximum ethanol content in the petrol. If there is no marker on the pump showing ethanol content, and the fuel contains ethanol, then they are not abiding by the regs.
@OffMyCloud3 жыл бұрын
On the pumps where I've looked, it is now stated as being "E5". It's been like that for a while now, I think. Importantly, even the ESSO Synergy pumps state "E5", despite not always containing ethanol. And so the thing to remember, as you say, is that the "E5" only indicates the maximum ethanol content, not necessarily the actual content.
@johnkeepin75273 жыл бұрын
Within the last month, the ones I normally use have changed their pumps to E10 (used to be labelled E5). Not clear if they have actually changed to E10, or were just preparing for it. I suspect there will be a mix of E5 & E10 for a while, otherwise they’d have to sell out before taking an E10 delivery. As it’s a supermarket with lots of customers, I don’t they’d do that.

I do not have access to Shell fuel locally here in the UK, so not easy for me to find some and test. I wouldn't know what the quality of Shell fuel in southern Europe is.

My video is specifically for the fuel I use in my videos.

@GR Which country are you located in? In the UK, it's now a requirement to state on the pump the maximum amount of ethanol that might be contained in the fuel. And so here, pumps are either marked "E5" or "E10" (5% or 10%). You could ask at the garage about what they are supplying.
