I'm glad it helped. Take care, Jeff

Hi and sorry for the late reply. Happy Christmas to you. I have had several of these engines and the end float has varied from one to another. As long as it's not too excessive it will be fine. Take care,Jeff

Hi, thank you for the information. It is my Father in law's car so he has been using it as it is. He has gone away for five months so I plan to go back to it when I get time. I have a couple of new MAF sensors to go in. Thanks again for your help. Take care, Jeff

Thanks very much Martin, I now have four weeks off. I'm going to pace myself until I go back. I'm planning on going part time in March. Once I clear my Mum's flat, I can get on with other things. Take care, Jeff

Hi doing that car some time ago, I can't remember that much about it. It should affect the central locking. If you have checked the switch connection, maybe try unplugging the battery and see if that resets it. Take care, Jeff

Shouldn't affect

No unfortunately not, but will have more days off. Maybe I can call work a hobby. Lol Take care, Jeff T

Yes nothing worse than grovelling underneath a car in the cold and damp. Take care, Jeff

Hi Alan, it's great to hear from you. There is light at the end of the tunnel now. Take care, Jeff

Hi Shaun, I hope that you are well as also. To start with it was all the paperwork to do, luckily that's all out of the way and probate has been granted. I'm pleased that I have got my Uncles flat cleared, I was working to a deadline. With my mum it could wait as it was her flat. Thanks to her and my late dad, I will be able to go part time. There is no way I can retire, but at least I will be off work more than on. I am looking forward to getting back to the videos and as I said to Gary, there is light at the end of the tunnel. I hope that you and your family have a fantastic Christmas. Take care, Jeff

Hi Jeff Great to see you mate I know what you going through I lost both parents within 6 years of each other going part time will be good for you work will always be their jenny looks cool look after yourself and we will see you when you get ti.e put some videos out mate Phil In stoke 😊😊

@philipnewton7942 Thanks very much Phil. I really haven't had time to grieve for my mum, I haven't had much time to think. I will go to the crematorium before Christmas and take some flowers to thank both of them for a wonderful childhood and now allow me to be able to work less until retirement. Take care, Jeff

Thanks Gary, there is light at the end of this long tunnel. Take care, Jeff

Hi, I'm not a mechanic, but hopefully if I can.

Thanks Peter, my Uncle had one in the 70s, when he retired he bought another to restore, but he sold it recently as they downsized their house. I did have a drive of it once. Take care, Jeff

Hi thanks very much, luckily it's all up and running again thanks to friends on TH-cam and my colleagues. I'm having a bit of a break at the moment as I lost my mum back in September, so I've had all the paperwork to sort out. My Uncle has gone into a care home and there was no one else other than me to clear his flat out. I now have my mum's to do, so have to pace myself. Take care, Jeff

Hi Mike, it's certainly worth doing yourself. Take care, Jeff

Lol, everything is delayed.

Hi Paul, I hope that the link comes up underneath. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/296067583449?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=lc9dq7mosfg&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=xfNwdEPVSeO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Thanks very much Geoff. I think my socket has seen better days. Maybe I will treat myself to a new one with fresh rubber Take care, Jeff

Hi Morten and thank you very much. I get a few bits on eBay and there is a company in the UK called Classic Moped Spares. Factory50 in France is very good, but since Brexit I have had problems getting things from them. I hope that helps. Take care, Jeff

@@DiecastPowderCoating Thank ypu very much. That was very helpful :)

Hi Shaun, I hope that you are well too. Just a few bits to do only small cosmetics left. I bought a slightly larger Jet for the Velosolex and tried it out this morning. I managed to get it to 18mph only 16 before. That will probably be it for speed. Sounds like you have had a busy weekend. Take care, Jeff

@@DiecastPowderCoating Hi Jeff, we are well mate, thank you. You could say it was busy , being dragged around the shops, it was different I don't mind its once in a while Take care

@@shaun30-3-mg9zs I hate being dragged around the shops. There is nothing in the shops for me anymore. I used to like Wilko, but that's gone now. What would we do without the internet.

@@DiecastPowderCoating Bad enough being dragged around Wrexham shopping but Manchester, HELP !! it a big place but it was good

Hi Martin and thanks very much. Jenny is nag nag nag, just like the wife lol. Take care, Jeff

Thanks very much Alan, it's getting there. Take care, Jeff

Hi Ted, makes a change something going right. Take care, Jeff

Hi Mike, I just expect something to go wrong usually when on camera. Yes I am happy with the spay gun. I think I got them from Amazon, with my 20 years on the railway voucher. It was about £18.00, but I bought two. I haven't used the second one yet, as the first one seems to be running OK. Take care, Jeff

Hi Adam, unfortunately I don't normally keep the flies off the paint, but this time I was lucky. Normally something runs, usually the lacquer, but this time all went well. Take care, Jeff

Hi, it was a long time ago and unfortunately I lost the MG in a shed fire in June last year. I think I searched for them on eBay. They were mid range ones and a lot less than MG. I'm sorry that I can't be more help. Take care, Jeff

Hi Tony, it's great to hear from you and thanks for watching. The velo is incredibly slow, but still enjoyable just going to the shops and I get loads of comments. It was Mr Bean's Holiday that inspired me to get one. I thought that was the funniest scene of the movie, with the Velosolex. As for the FZ50, I was pleased that I got another one. I had problems with my original orange one with PDI. I couldn't get a spark so replaced the PDI and it fired up straight away. I didn't have time to ride it, but thought I would wait until my day off, unfortunately I never got to ride it again, because of the shed fire. That's why I bought another one. Since I have sorted it's running issue, it's a dream to ride. I take that to the shops if I haven't got much time, unlike the Velosolex. I have no plans to sell these two. I lost my mum in September and it is now called Jean after her and the Velosolex is called Fred after my Dad. It is my way of dealing with her loss. Take care, Jeff

Hi, no I don't use the battery anymore. I have a little transformer that brings it down to 12v, they aren't. expensive. Take care, Jeff

Thanks very much Martin, just got to sort out the sticking brake caliper. The funeral was more of a celebration than a depressing event. At least she is not suffering anymore. Take care, Jeff

Hi Adam, I hope that you are well. Thanks for the tip, I'm glad this one had a screw head on it, but your tip is good to know for the future. I was going to sort the brakes out today before work, but it's wet and windy, so thought better of it. Take care, Jeff

Hi Shaun and thanks for watching. Just need to sort the brakes out again, but the engine sounds fine. Take care, Jeff

Hi Steve, I did think of that when I played the clip back, I hoped no one would notice. You are quite right. Take care, Jeff

You're absolutely right. I always mean to put up a table of some kind, but always forget. No matter wherever you think is safe around an engine, I always lose something. The Jaguar still has the problems, but my father in law always needs it. He has just gone away for a six month holiday, so when I get time I will dig deeper. Take care Jeff

I'm sorry I'm not sure. It must be very similar. Take care, Jeff

Hi Brian, thank you very much. Take care, Jeff

Hi Alan and thanks very much. I have spent way over what they were worth, but that's not the point for me. I am ready for the funeral, just a suit to get. Take care, Jeff

Hi Martin and thank you. I can't go too far on it at the moment, I'm still waiting for the brake block from France. The wheels came in a week, even with a hold up in customs. It's been two and a half weeks so far and no brake blocks. Take care, Jeff

Hi Phil you are absolutely right about clean wheels. If ever I don't get the chance to wash the car, as long as the wheels are clean, it makes a big difference. I think I am all ready for my mum's funeral, I have just got to get a suit. My Uncle is finally out of hospital and has moved to a care home in Portsmouth. Apparently he has now got MRSA. Luckily he has got some friends down there, they have taken a lot off of me. I will have to go down there on Friday to take some of his important things from his flat in Woking. Luckily they like dogs in the home so I can take Jenny with me, so she also gets a day by the sea. Take care, Jeff

Hi Adam and thank you. I seem to be getting on top of things. I've just got to get a suit, I am off Wednesday, so will have to be then. I need to go through the inheritance tax forms with my other Uncle the evening of the Funeral. He was quite high up with P&O doing their taxes. He has done loads of the forms for others so hopefully I can get that sent off and get on with probate. My other Uncle is now out of hospital and in a care home in Portsmouth, apparently he now has MRSA. I will have to go down there on Friday. Take care, Jeff

Hi Shaun, I took the FZ50 to a friend of the family a couple of days ago, that was about a five mile round trip and it didn't miss a beat. Now back to the cosmetics which was the original plan. I'm still waiting for the brake blocks for the Velosolex. I wish I paid a bit more and got them in this country. The funeral is all ready, but I just need to get a suit for my son and myself. My uncle has left hospital and has gone down to a care home in Portsmouth. He has now got some sort of MRSA. He has friends down there who have been fantastic helping him and me. I will have to go there Friday and find out what he needs from his flat in Woking. At least it will be a day out with the wife and Jenny girl. Take care, Jeff

@@DiecastPowderCoating Take care mate

Hi Andy, that's great to hear. Take care, Jeff

Hi Adrian, no it's still the same, my father in law has just carried on as it is. Take care, Jeff

That's great, I'm glad it helped . Take care, Jeff

Hi Martin and thank you very much. It is the divine intervention feelings that keeps me going. Take care, Jeff

Hi Alan and thank you very much. Yes I was lucky to have had 59 years with her. Take care, Jeff

Thanks very much Adam, I certainly hope I am getting some help from above. I have just put the engine back in. I didn't film it as I just want to plod on and do it. The moment of truth in a moment. Take care, Jeff

Hi Phil and thank you for your kind words. The last two weeks of her life were the worst for me. They say she wasn't suffering, but she was and didn't know I was there. Now that she has gone, I have a sense of relief that she is out of it. I don't want to think of her from the last couple of weeks, just what a wonderful mother she was over the whole of my life. My son has taken it very badly and he has had a couple of anger episodes. I upset my wife and his girlfriend. I've told him to speak me if he feels like that and touch wood he's been Ok since. Jenny is certainly a great help. I suppose the chains in the gearbox eventually were out, but because they are constantly soaked in oil, it would take a long time. Take care, Jeff

Hi Shaun and thank you for your kind words. I just hope that it was the crankshaft seal. I was pleased I could eventually get the powder coating done on the case. I had a little run on the Velosolex today, only about half a mile each way down our road. It did run smoothly, but not sure of the speed, it didn't feel fast. I have downloaded an app so I can check the speed. I can't go too far as I noticed I have lost a front brake block. I have ordered a set from France, with the backing complete with rubbers. I may then risk going further. Take care, Jeff

Thanks for your kind thoughts. If it doesn't work I suppose it will have to be a complete strip down. Take care, Jeff

​@@DiecastPowderCoating So sorry to hear from Pat about your Mum's sad passing Jeff, I send my sincere condolences and sympathy to you at this sad time for you and your family. I have let my brother Ted know of the sad news and he may well be in touch with you shortly. Kind regards to you. Alan Daw.

@alandaw7 Hi Alan, once again it is great to hear from you. Thank you for your kind message. I have very mixed emotions. I feel a sense of calm, I was very upset seeing mum in hospital towards the end and now I feel that at least she isn't suffering anymore. She didn't respond to me the last couple of weeks. I am not particularly a religious person, but I strongly feel that she is with me in spirit. I had the same feelings when I lost my dad ( Fred) My son James has taken it very badly and has suffered a couple of anger episodes. This upset Ying and his girlfriend Emily. Touch wood, he seems OK and have told him to speak to me about his emotions. He's been OK the last few days. Thank you very much for letting Ted know. Once again thank you so much for your condolences. Take care, Jeff
