Ive got 185k T5 still going strong, as long as its well looked after the engine should be ok, however youve got to think of the stuff you cant service- electrics, suspension, every thing just generally feeling tired..

Oh dear!!! 🙁

Ive had some shorts for a good few years and they are still going strong, just an outer mind no liner.
Did some big company buy Royal a while back?

Turn your computer off and go and hide in the woods?

Most important of all, keep your dignity, be strong and look after yourself.
Good luck and take care.

you dont want to be using copper-slip type grease on any thing that rotates, its an anti-sieze.
Esso Hp-222 is what you want.

Agree with brack if we’re coming up alternatives. I also like Robert as it also has loads of variables{sp} Rob, Robbie, Bobbie, etc

My corner shop has a side line as a catering suppliers to the local asian takeaways/local asians, they sell huge big jars of pataks stuff… so it must be ok

Kenickie/Seahorses I think we may be gettting beyond the classic Britpop era- both great bands mind.
