Looking pretty deep there Baz!

Your not kidding Tom, 10x worse than last year, my humble mv was totally submerged at one point and still running !!

Sad end of an era though 'cos it's soon to be filled in !!

Well the Syncro is sitting on the drive very dirty and I think a flywheel end oil seal leaking! Will have to investigate further. Have got plenty of time now, was made redundant yesterday as sort of expected! give it a week or so and then start looking for a new Design engineering job. Oh well.

Glad everyone had a splashingly good time..
Let's hope no permanent harm done!
... that's it for the year I think. Left quite a few licking our wounds, but with a winter to get restored and recuperated.

Sorry to hear that Geoff
Hope you and Jayne have a wonderful holiday and that it doesn't prey on your mind too much

Sorry to hear your news Geoff - not nice, even though you were expecting it.

Hey Geoff, when one door shuts another one opens
Take some time out from the ratrace and enjoy yourselves, you might even find time to fix your difflocks !!
See you soon BazandHil xx

Successful overnight repairs by baz to a rather wet engine.

Sorry it’s not a very good video, bit wobbly especially towards the end.
If the footage is any good I will try to get something from the dash cam, but may take a while.

Water-cooled!

Good enough to see whats going on with that engine though...
Baz.. what's in that washing up bowl?
Oh... sweet sweet boxer sound with a little added... 'je ne sais pas'

That was the engine oil drained out overnight. Looked like salad cream, lots of emulsification

Ah! Presumably drained again after getting home... looks like we've both been lucky with engines surviving this year

How on earth did water get in the crankcase to turn the oil into mayo?
A silencer full of water I can understand!
