REPLACE TWIN HORNS This turned out to be more difficult than anticipated ... the first job was to remove the Radiator cowl - two nuts and a couple of screws, all easily accessible: This revealed one of the horns on the LHS below the rad overflow bottle: It turned out that this one was still working and difficult to remove so I left it in place. Now the other one, the one that was not working, was obviously on the RHS underneath the air filter: So I removed the air filter (fairly simple) to reveal the duff horn: And forgot to take a photo - doh ! Anyhoo, the old horn proved impossible to remove so I left it in-situ and fitted the new horn above it and connected it up. SUCCESS I now have twin horns again, so I refitted the air filter gubbins and retired from the garage to have a well deserved glass of Tesco's best red. -

REMOVAL OF THE TR6 BADGE The badge is fixed to the front grill and the fixing is evidently accessible from the engine compartment. So the exercise involved the removal of the radiator shroud which has 4 fixings: Removal of the shroud revealed this ... ... this ... ... and this: So now we have access to the single screw locating the badge, and the 2 nuts which attach the enamelled badge to the chromed surround: I decided that the car would benefit from a new radiator shroud so I ordered one of those also. -

Thanks Chris, and BTW this thread is not just for me; I expect you'll be happy to help anyone with technical queries about all interesting cars. So come on folks let's get working on our cars and if you need help, post up here. -
This just came up on PH ... excellent songwriting

I bought my TR6 about 6 weeks ago ... I can't take credit for its condition, it was like this when I bought it So the first thing I did - Whitewall tyres: So then the car looked like this: I also bought this with a view to my trusted indy garage (where they do all the work on my cars) fitting it: Unfortunately, before they had time to fit this, lockdown came upon us so this job has not yet been completed and the other jobs I was asking the garage to do (new seatbelts, new twin horns) got put on hold. So now with @Keyser's help I intend to attempt to learn the skills of a master mechanic and do a bit of DIY on cars ... beats gardening anyway ... -
Well, with your permission Chris, I'll start a new thread. My idea is that, being the good guy that you are, you'll be more than happy to help and advise on all things mechanical engineering to us guys who don't have your skills. So here we go ...

Well it's more of a village pond rather than a lake, but the ducks often have a waddle around our front garden this time of year, which is nice.

I'm so lucky in my circumstances during this self isolation period ... I took this photo 100 metres from my home this afternoon ... STAY SAFE EVERYONE !

Here's a better explanation of usage from Wiki: Beginners often confuse "I" and "me" because they mean the same thing, but even native speakers can struggle when there is more than one subject or object. Study the errors below so you can avoid making similar mistakes in your writing. Jack and me got home late. In this sentence, there are two subjects "Jack and me," but me is the objective case. As it's a subject, the correct pronoun is "I." A good way to check is to remove the other people at the beginning of the sentence and re-read the sentence to see if it sounds right ("Me got home late" does not!). Most people can find the right word by ear this way. The puppy licked my sister and I. Here "I" is used as a direct object-the person receiving the licks but "me" is the right word to use as a direct object. Again, try removing all other people after the verb except "I" and re-read the sentence to see if it sounds right (again, "The puppy licked I" does not sound right). The snobby girl thinks she's above my family and I, but she's not. This is another example of how multiple objects adds confusion. Here "I" is incorrectly used as the object of the preposition "above," but it should be "me." It wasn't me. This one trips up a lot of people as it can't be checked by ear, like the examples above. Though this is a common colloquial phrase, it is not grammatically correct. In this sentence, "was" is a form of the verb to be that sets up a predicate nominative, so the writer should use "I," which is in the nominative case. Suzy and me are best friends. This is another example of an error because of a plural subject. "I" should be used because it's the correct choice when it comes to subjects. It can also be helpful to consider the position of the word in the sentence. "I" is used before the verb, while "me" is almost always used after the verb (the exception being the predicate nominative).
