Here are some screen shot samples:

I just banned new member " avelson " they'd start one thread and posted into 3 more, they sought advice on a Ford Fiesta  without specifying and real details of the car and posted a link to some bullshit miracle head gasket cure, the various posts had all the  hallmarks of AI, strange phrasing, a lack of relevance etc.
Why would a new member start welcoming other new members?
The whole Idea of these posts is a attempt to fool us that they are genuine, so as we might not remove their spam post on sight. And that they may bag a few suckers.

The X20 is quite something, I’ve seen a dimensional mock-up of it, just the size of the block & it’s no bigger than these wheeled bags that follow people around.
That would make some noise!

I had a bit of a gander at the Villiers engines......very interesting especially the X20! A V8 version should easily fit in our cars, the V10 might be too long, we would need some dimensions to know for sure.
I got interrupted by a breakdown last night so I actually had to do something to justify my employment! I'll do more study tonight!

Did 150 miles yesterday including Porlock Hill. didn’t miss a beat. Not the battery for sure. 14 volts. I’ll remove, clean and check connections when next tinkering and have a replacement sensor on hand if nothing obvious is wrong. Fingers crossed.

Do I spend £40 to change the sensor or would I have been better off keeping the pscan cost and not knowing?

I love your forum name!
I think it sums up a lot of us here!!
My bias wasn't born from a negative experience of British cars but simply from also having driven thousands of miles in cars that hardly, if ever broke down.
Why I decided on a TF as a project car I don't really know. Maybe simply because they look good and are cheap in some cases to buy.
I had time on my hands before I knew I would have funds to buy one so I read a lot and watched cars for sale come and go.
Yes they have problems but equally there are a lot about that don't.
I started to realise they had carachter..and I'm a bit of a carachter too ..so I started to look with a different outlook!
A sixth sense told me that the right car had come along before I had sold my Mazda and so I dug deep and bought it.
It isn't particularly the colour I would have chosen or the right seats but it IS the right car. Its structural condition compared to some I have seen is beyond me.
It has revived my enthusiasm in cars, it puts a smile on my face everytime I drive it and I have plans for her. 
I am sure I am going to have to fix things as I go along but meantime it was the right choice of car for me.
I am enjoying all your responses and reading the forum and I am sure you have all realised my bias is...or should I say was now..is tongue in cheek. 

Interesting reading this.
I have a Honda Accord bias. Having driven hundreds of thousands of miles in a handful of different models, some built in Swindon before they kept their brexit promise and closed the works.
I also had a lot to do with Nissan when they opened up the Sunderland factory, supplying parts for robots and automation generally.
The post 2nd world war history interests me, when Leonard Lord despatched our brightest and best with the latest multi station tooling to Japan to teach mass production techniques, as part of the Marshall plan to establish a military presence in the Pacific to combat the "soviet threat"
And boy did we make a rod for our backs?
I believe Churchill said we won the war and lost the peace, he should know having instructed the boffins to scrap the worlds first computers.
But, as a TF owner of just 6 months I can testify just how much fun they are and a good well tended example is as reliable it seems, as pretty much anything out there.

As far as cleaning fluids themselves go, as a cyclist I found MUC OFF very good, it removes rubbish inside and out to great effect.

Welcome and greetings.

Jobs to do whilst cleaning under the (front) bonnet:
1 It's worth removing the wide black plastic by the bulkhead to clean under there. Also
2 check the flexing of the firewall by the brake servo/master cylinder (it's on the passenger side) whilst getting someone to push the brake pedal. If there's much movement there it could be worth adding a servo brace. They aren't expensive and will improve your brake feel.
