So the Water Pump on old Sylvia (Talbot Express) was failing, the one for the engine that is. I do not have the space sadly to do mechanical engine work like this myself. The mechanic who did it charged me £42.50 + VAT as an hourly labour rate. What are other people's experiences of hourly...

Having a part day off and as the weather had improved I decided to fix the strips around the Windows in Sylvia. Well, partly. The infill strips that cover the screws and rivets holding the windows to the Van shell are called Herzim Strips I found out whilst researching where to obtain them on...
