So Doris and I were out having a small sundowner. At dusk we retired to the 2.7 Lux ........ settled in those comfy seats ignition on and lights on ...... errrr I said lights on ... well they only cam up a fration looking half pist. Doris frantically twiddled with the big knob and noting. I jump into action ..... give me full beam Doris ... and slowly they half opened .. well I took my right hand and slowly felt uner the right cowling .... not going too fast here am I? And with the correct muscular Torqque slid my four fingers gently under the lip and YANKED it up ....Well they now work perfectly .... so there...... [:)]
 
I could see this being the opening of an "alternative maintenance" thread, for all fans of "percussive maintenance".

OK... One from me... what I used to call a "WD40 Service"... I'm sure it is used by many back-street garages to save all that nasty changing of oil and fiddly sparking plug things. Method: Open bonnet, hold open with left arm. With can of WD40 in right hand, liberally spray over everything in the engine bay. Close bonnet. Note it is even more effective if the engine is running at the time.

The sad thing is... it really seems to work, suddenly the whole thing quietens down and runs smoother. I didn't say that... no... not me...
 
Now you're talking sense-I find a "WD40" service works on 964's,924's,BMW's,Atco lawnmowers.Makita hedgetrimmers,chainsaws,Rover's,wheelbarrows-reminds me of -Just a Minute & Freud.[:)]

Just be careful here, if the problem is a frayed wire and you reach the point it connects it can take your finger off. The mechanism is very powerful. [:eek:]
