Absolutely
after 25 years of total neglect started the 2and a quarter . pumped fuel from a can after priming the sight glass, pushed oil to the front oil cooler pipe ( diverted to the filler pipe 0 removed the fan belt to bypass the seized alternator and she ran as smooth as a nut
no knocking no missing farting or belching .
happy days

Got myself a little rubber stamp of my LR taken from a picture, which i ordered on a whim and wasn't expecting much tbh. Very pleased with the detail, although my wife didn't share that view when I used her bare arm as a testing surface... :tiphat

That’s cool. Where did you get it from?
 :cheers

I need a new clock for the garage. Where did you get it Herald1360. Am I right in assuming you have a Triumph Herald 13/60?!

Random pic from internet. Just search for backwards clock. My sister's kitchen clock is one, so I knew they existed.

You would have been 20 years ago  :stars where did they go? It was around then I wanted an online nom de plume. It's been used on multiple totally unrelated fora including this one.

Got round to fitting the replacement fuel pump after my attempt to fix the non return valve on the original one failed. Have to say fixing the nuts onto the studs into the engine block is a b.^&%$£ of a job. Tried a combination of working from below using a socket (3/8 socket set) and an open end spanner from above, was only managing 1 flat at a time and it took ages. Anybody any helpful tips for next time, please shout out.

On the positive side, the Landy fired up once I'd manually primed the new pump.

Fitted my axle and springs back on after the long process of cleaning it all up that started late last year.
New dampers, bearings, seals and brake lines etc.
It's all rather heavy!
Few washers missing and I couldn't remember which bolt went on the top shackle spring hanger, the tapered one or the non tapered one ???

Oh and a new-to-me diff as my original is still in a box in bits...
