  1. I wonder who made ignition systems for the RR V12 Merlin etc, 24 spark plug engines from way back when, was it Lucas..? ????
  2. Sunbeam, after a long life of buying stuff, I can categorically state that I can't think of one 100% made Chinese item that didn't last the course. If the Chinese auto stuff was known worldwide to be great, then they would already be sweeping the auto market with winners, they haven't, they bought a British brand name and history to get on that sales wagon...
  3. We all should know that the vaccine is not 100% effective, that has been said many times, but the facts are that most folk will have an easier time if they do catch it. Sadly, many think that having the jab makes them immune, it doesn't..
  4. You were fully vaccinated and got it, or are you saying because you had you are now immune..?
  5. The latest variant is way more contagious than the others, the planet is being overrun with it...
  6. Yes, Triumph went into liquidation way back, Bloor took it on near 40 years back and made a success of it, so much so, Triumph now has six factories producing the bikes, England, Brazil and Thailand. Triumph is 100% British owned. ????
  7. I think you are right. Nobody can deny that, Honda being a cut above the rest in their ventures with many things....????
  8. So what, are you having a bad day, or a Chinese car that's gone wrong......????
  9. So why are you telling me about Japanese stuff, now come on....???? Yes I know the MG is a Chinese Maxus T70 thank you.....????
  10. They probably can source an engine out of a wreck, I would sell it on, lesson learned regarding diesel engine care....????
  11. There is tech out there to do exactly that, but the rebuild costs will be rising. Looking at the internal state of the engine, I would not be surprised if they find the turbo is stuffed.
  12. Think Ford taught the Japanese a thing or two about assembly lines, after the war...
  13. That journal looks like it's gone past the point of no return to me, unless the photo is all oil residue. Think .040" is max for oversize shells...
  14. Let's be fair, the guy couldn't use the normal accident excuse, that's been done to death....????
  15. You can teach Thai, Thai grammar, all that stuff that gets taught at school....? ????
  16. Have a read................ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_Motorcycles_Ltd
  17. Remember, the Pfizer jab for 5/11's is designed for that age group..
