So that's why DR locked the front door this morning. It's all starting to make sense now.

Are you going to turn it off and back on again?

Turn some bits off - fiddle with some other bits - try and find the screws we may have lost, then turn it on, making sure power is connected first.

Are you going to let MLyons out of the cupboard?

A guarantee you'll have at least one screw left over afterwards that doesn't seem to fit anywhere.

Exactly, but with a website you can't just store the leftover bolts in the bottom of the sump till next time.

If it rattles, the thing that's supposed to rattle hasn't fallen off.

I remember rebuilding an engine in the late 70s.

I was really pleased with myself, no bits at all left over ..... until I noticed the brand new head gasket still sitting in it's packet.

I won't repeat what I called myself, on the basis that that many rude words woukd be account suicide, but it is more or less when I decided to get someone that actually knew what they were doing to work on my cars .... and gas boilers .... in the future.

P.S. I stripped the head back off, inserted gasket and rebuilt properly and the engine was still working perfectly when I sold the car a couple of years later so I'm not a complete idiot. Just lousy memory.
