  1. Without intending to divert the discussion, I must mention that Glynhir Mansion/Farm in Ammanford is an exceptional location. A few years ago, I embarked on a bike expedition and paid a visit to the place. Surprisingly, it is still in the ownership of the same family, who even recognised and recalled my presence! There were absolutely no regulations - it was a perfect and peaceful setting. At my current age, I rode on a Honda motorbike with one of the farm boys, who was around 14 years old, while we drove an ancient Massey Ferguson tractor into the town. We purchased a substantial quantity of supplies for a nocturnal meal in the hay barn and transported it back. Varying periods! (early 1980s)
  2. Poor resolution (it's a photograph taken with a cell phone of a photocopy of the original picture). However, you get the concept. Observe the immense happiness! I remember my mother being really appalled.
  3. I also have a beautiful photograph of me riding a horse energetically across a field in Wales. I estimate that I was perhaps 11 or 12 years old.
  4. Typically, the third or fourth cylinder is prone to melting in turbo engines due to a weak fuel mixture and excessive heat. This may also lead to severe knocking and poor performance when using gasoline with an octane rating lower than 98 RON, which is recommended for Cooper S engines.
  5. The presence of overheating, oil residue, and discoloration in the form of white or black deposits on the rings, stem seals, timing chain, and plugs indicates potential issues. Greyish brown residue is considered healthy, while black residue suggests a rich fuel mixture. Bright white residue with melted electrodes indicates a lean running condition and burning oil. Such conditions can lead to excessive heat, making the rings brittle. In turbo engines, this can potentially cause a hole to melt in the hottest cylinder, typically located near the gearbox end.
  6. A new set of spark plugs will temporarily address the issue of misfires until the excessive oil consumption and fuel mixture imbalance cause another set of plugs to fail. It is now time to do a maintenance refresh.
  7. Life is ephemeral to spend energy on little matters; perfection is transient. Simply relish it in optimal well-being while it is within your grasp.
  8. Indeed, I examined my reflection in the mirror earlier today and pondered over this matter. I appear to be developing 'patina'. At least that seems to be rather polished and refined...
  9. I am uncertain about the reason for my current efforts, to be honest.I really dislike seeing the squandering of automobiles.I have the potential to fracture or shatter them.Such things just exasperate me!
  10. I replaced the ekpm with my other automobiles, which I am certain functions well, but there was no discernible change.The automobile previously began but only operated for around 5 minutes. Subsequently, I examined the fuses and discovered that fuse number 79 was not functioning due to a blown circuit. I modified it and tried once again. Experienced another explosion. I installed another electronic control module (ekpm) which did not cause the fuse to explode, but it failed to initiate the engine's startup or provide power to the pump.Is there a method to manually start the pump?
  11. I have successfully supplied power to the electronic control module (EKPM), but there is no further functionality beyond that point. Thank you for taking the time to read!👍
  12. My automobile is experiencing a failure to start. Not really convenient. Upon inspecting the fuse box, I discovered that the fuse with a rating of 29 amps (unfortunately, I cannot recall its specific number) had malfunctioned.I modified this and it operated for a duration of 1 minute before ceasing to function.Although I am not really skilled with a multimeter, I am now experiencing a lack of power to the ekpm.After replacing the fuse, I regained electrical power. However, when I attempted to activate the device, the fuse malfunctioned once again. Is it probable that this is a defective ekpm?Upon inspection, I saw no apparent indications.
  13. Yes, however, it is necessary to replace the fluid and filter in the expansion tank. This is a service item.
  14. When was the most recent maintenance performed on the power steering fluid and filter? What is the current fluid level?
  15. ... since it is excessively heating the engine prior to attempting their removal.
  16. No, it is not functioning, presuming that was the correct one.... it is a simple examination. It is somewhat peculiar that a large number of individuals departed simultaneously. I have never had the opportunity to attempt many tasks simultaneously. They possess a perpetual lifespan, resembling light bulbs in their functionality, regardless of whether they are operational or not.
  17. The automobile required regular operation every other day in the past due to a battery depletion issue.
