Nice Know what you mean about trying to manoeuvre the diff with it perched precariously on the jack.

My A Level General Studies paper, multiple choice question: what is a Freudian slip? The obvious option, "a slightly revealing ladies' undergarment" got my X in the box.

I've just changed my differential.    Balancing it on the jack, to lower or lift the new one back in, is fraught with danger!  For your fingers, head, and as you need the whole car quite high off the floor, to the diff itself if it drops.   So I built a bearer for it, that would provide a flat surface for the jack saddle.    I built it from scrap wood, ad used a large cable tie to hold the diff onto the bearer.     Photos and a sketch plan below. The width of the base is irrelevant, so I've only included those that engage with the rear housing (mine has a drain plug) and either side of the diff mounting plate. Hope it's useful! John  

I am leaving the Baleno exactly where it is until I get back from my hols in 2 weeks. My current thinking is to get a clutch kit AND a extra CSC. Sims Suzuki are £570 for the clutch kit (one garage were apparently quoted £800 for the 3 part clutch kit!) then do a DIY job. If the clutch parts look OK, it will just use the CSC and return the clutch kit. The 1.2 Baleno clutch kit is a mere £250 from the same supplier. Madness.

In another thread, Nick's "suction house" could be a good example, although the layout of the QWERTY keyboard could be to blame.  

You may joke but my better half has already asked me  when I’m moving in !!? 😳 thanks for the support and kind words. 

So impressed with the skills and thought process on display here congrats and my 🤞 for you

The joys of IT John glad it’s fixed 👍

And now for something completely different.  But definitely BOLLOCKS! Anyone use a 'btinternet.com' email address, and their website as a post box?     I do - found it better than Outlook, or I did.    They display a list of recent emails, with a box before each name.   Tick the box or a list of boxes and you can delete, move into a folder or BLOCK them.   Fair enough, but the page then automatically ticks the email just  below the last in the list, so that if you delete, move or BLOCK any more then  that is affected too. Annoying enough, but then I lost contact with an org I know, trust and communicate with weekly or more.   Their emails never arrived but mine did to them.  Had I blocked them?   Could I find the list of blocked senders?   No.   It took a phone call to BT to learn that the list was in the equivalent of Douglas Adams' locked filing cabinet in the basement.   It was in a drop down list accessed by clicking on my own email address, shown apparently just for the record on the website. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!   Anyway, they are unblocked now. JOhn  

No doubt it has sat unused in a collection somewhere, it’s quite a distinctive car so someone in the triumph world would probably have noticed it… It was a handful to drive about town due to the engine tune. the auction house seem to have washed their hands of it (didn’t make them a quick profit) though they did mention the car was now owned by a lady, when I sold it was to a fella?   I’ll just have to take my powder blue TR3A to CC again 😃
