I hope the steam is only literal..

Nice work by the way!

I've had it once on each device I use (phone, laptop and iPad) - just logged out and back in and I don't get it now?

I'm assuming it's something Ian has dropped in yesterday as I don't recall seeing it before then. I assume you clicked the "Got It" button, not just closed the box?

And Mike reckons he’s retired...

Good to hear of a run out with no issues!

Non ballast.

RR100 on what looked to be a coach built Rolls Royce - 60’s or early 70’s maybe?

Found a rod floating around in my boot last night - which means I know where a motor is too..

I'd say swap the boxes - whilst the fork isn't marvellous, it might be indicative of another problem in the same box (like weak/missing springs in the hub)?

Might it be worth trying the plain plastic spacer that came with the service kit as a test just to be sure its not the 'W' block that's at fault. Pommy I had a hairline crack in a W block on one car (it was an Auto as well) - the crack would open up after periods of idling or running in slow traffi...

If you get a squirt of fuel from the accelerator pump when operating the throttle (engine off, of course) will check if you have some fuel in the float chamber, but not necessarily if it’s at the right level.

At least you can pack back up knowing you’ve got the fresh ticket

Just remove the rear crossbrace under the sump - it only bolts in (and was left out post-72 anyway).

Just the metal bits should be fine - it's the sleeve that tends to rust to the bolt, giving fun and games in the future. A quick dust of Waxoyl on the rubber mounting faces could work to prevent any squeaks. Whatever some might say about the traders, they will have the right part, and know how to se...

Ballpark is do it up until there’s a couple of threads showing through the nyloc.

Ah - you’ve written it down - there’s no “a”
