Although the jocks quite often say sarking when they mean under
boarding.


Because it's been around rather longer than roofing felt.


If you missed it, todays car restoration job on Quest was
a nice Rover P5 coupe, given a recon power steering pump
(apparently the owners handbook said don't hold on full
lock for more then 30 seconds or it will overheat the fluid).


For some reason they had stainless steel exhaust manifolds
made up to replace the oem cast-iron ones, which seems like
a waste of £1600.


The standard cast iron are of a very poor design, unlike the SD1 which are
pretty good. But on a P5, I'd be worried about increased noise.

I've a feeling many of these sort of progs get paid to feature a
particular product or service.
