Hi Ron, what was it like to replace your centre prop shaft bearing, I think mine has gone

Really easy, just took the front half of the prop off & had to get the wife to hold prop in order to put the new bearing on as you need 3 hands
Just make sure you put the LOCKWASHER back on correctly or the prop will fall off, as it did on mine, luckily I was only in 2nd gear so managed to stop & got the AA to replay it back home
Complete job took about 30 mins

Calm down, here is the answer I hope?
Can I pop this oil in me tank?

yes i used fresh veg oil @£3 per 3l. add about 200ml 2 stroke oil per tankful, or more it wont hurt..

get spare fuel filters first m8 the veg will clear the sh*t from the tank into the filter!

JB quality 2-stroke or JC+, or do we do all the jokes they say, olly olly olly xxx

[robbie.cee]

asda red 2 stroke or tesco worked best for me. AVOID green 2 stroke in 5l forms, real cheap but complete waste of money!

here all day Aaron sitting if you wanna brew m8!

thanks for that Ron, i was going to do the job myself, but i chickened out in the end. I was a bit pressed for time so i got someone to do it for me, cost me £60 But the van is on the road now

Trying very hard to get a towbar fitted at the mow so I can bring my boys to North Weald.

Stop Now

Where have I gone wrong? this fitting just does not look right.

It just depends on what you want to achive

I belive that couple of meters more of such tow bar extension and you might be really close to this:





Or maybe that's the plan:



Both of them might be spectacular
