Some people these days have neither split pins nor fibre washers in their car shed, nor can one find the tire levers, the tire pump or the puncture repair kit. Mon Dieu!

Obviously don't have REAL shed. I appreciate sheds like that, shows the owner knows what they are up to. Also means you are about to get a good ole "how it works" lesson :D pity there are less and less sheds, along with less and less people who use them

1209536 2011-06-17 08:42:00 That's because more & more people want to steal what you've got in the shed. Phil B (648)
1209537 2011-06-17 09:46:00 Wish someone would steal the stuff in my shed, save me paying to take it to the tip.
Like any one want a box of 5 glass fuel sediment bowls with NTP thread suit Model A?
Didnt think so :stare:

1209538 2011-06-17 12:37:00 When was the last time you heard of the rings being changed on a modern car? With only average care and servicing, the modern motor will outlast the bodywork. 200-300,000km is common without any attention beyond regular servicing.

How modern materials and lubricants have made the motorist's life easier:

From my father's 1950's Hillman Minx handbook:

320km: Top up oil (now no need to check between 10,000km services.)

800km: Lube steering and front springs

1,600km: Grease steering rack

2,400km: Repeat 800km

3,200km: Change oil, fill rear axle & steering box, check gearbox, oil front and rear springs. Oil clutch mechanism, grease brake cables, lube anything else that moves!

10,000km: Drain and replace all fluids including gearbox and rear axle, flush radiator etc. etc.

15,000km: Everything as before plus head off, valve grind, wheel alignment and top up shock absorbers!

Start again at Go.

Our garage at home had a mechanic's pit, not at all uncommon in those days.

Maybe not in a modern car. but in a two stroke bike, yes the top endgets rebuilt quite often

This asset shedding has gone too far. :(

1209540 2011-06-17 23:24:00 Looks to me like a variation of the old TS3 Commer. Wonder what it sounds like? ;)

(Anyone familiar with the old TS3 will know what I'm talking about :lol: )

1209542 2011-06-18 02:44:00 Meh, 2 strokes aren't new, Opposable cylinders aren't new, and they merely have a non-functioning plastic model with a crank handle, and some figures they hope to achieve.

Coming soon?:groan:

All performance engines need frequent top end rebuilds to maintain the best possible performance.

A current model 4-stroke MX bike has a lifespan of about 10 hours.....
