On my screen the text isn't capitals.

It is just large lower case.

I prefer that to the tiny, coloured fonts that some people occasionally use.

Head is off for pressure testing today, provided it's not cracked everything is being fitted back in for the weekend, all nicely machined

Hopefully that's the fix I've been looking for.


I thought I was just making the text bigger, makes it easier to see on the phone screen.

That is right. That is exactly what you did. Some of us don't mind one little bit when you make the text bigger.

Technically challenged and making the text bigger so I can see it, when did it come to this

... Been happening slowly over the last 40 years... and it ain't gunna get any better.

I'm 62. Although I can still read most things without glasses I don't care how big you make your font.

Hello people, just a quick update.

After a head test (not cracked ) and rebuild everything finally went back together, but still only firing on three cylinders, checked the injectors one at a time and now number one isn't firing, so we put back one of the old injectors and we have four cylinders!

Here comes the question, the engine is still very down on power and the egts are still much to high for the road speed.

I have tried changing the fuel filter again, there did seem to be a bit of contamination when we emptied it out for a look, but not much.

Any suggestions for things we can check next.

Thanks for any hints, tips or advice
