The Brat Gets a Full Health Check So it's that time of year when the annual roadworthiness test (MOT) is due. Booked in at 4.30pm today. 30 minutes later and The Brat has a new ticket, no advisories. Mark the tester said it's the best one he's seen in years and looks like it just came from the...

Not meant to fill cylinders and soak. Just used as a light lube for cylinder walls that have stood for a while, and to see if it turns over. It would burn off at the first fire up.

A book by the American Bill Bryson. It a humorous and sometimes irreverend view of all things English from a man settled in England for many years. An award winning writer.

Welcome to the forum. 1. I'm in the UK so can't advise about shippers 2. As above 3. No, best remove the battery 4. Most of us use the Haynes book. A factory manual is best for your year / model (eBay etc). Or check the Tech part of this site for downloads. 5. First I would lube the bores...
