Subject: RE: BS: 'Everything is broken'...
Hey Gurney, back in the seventies I used to do all my own car maintenence - even had the engine out of an MG Midget one time, got it reconditioned and put it back in. And the bypass hoses on them A series engines were a real bugger when it came to re-fitting the cylinder head. Managed it no probs.

Now, I open up the bonnet (hood) of my car and I don't understand much about what I'm looking at. I had to read the handbook to find out where the battery was (in the boot (trunk)). It doesn't even have a dipstick to check the oil - computer does that.

As for finding the grommet in the intake, well...
