As you can imagine, all, its been a hard few months. Its Norma by the way, and no he's still kicking or his brain is telling his feet to kick, but they ain't moving. Martin's back in hospital and has been since a week past Wednesday. Unfortunately he developed a chest infection which, because of wea...

I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaack. all the tests are over, and i have concrete confirmation that it is indeed motor neuron disease, and the care team has swung into action. I have been measured up for a custom made wheelchair because i am so tall, I have a sippy cup ,a high chair, a potty type thing to raise the ...

There are approximately 5000 people in Britain at any one time. with motor neurone disease. about 1000 die from it every year, and no one has to cope with this terrible disease alone, that would be impossible.even if they are single there are excellent post diagnosis care teams, and voluntary orgini...

OK, this ain't Marty, but the Mrs. I've just read the whole of this thread and I can't stop the tears rolling down my face. What a bunch of soppy gits you all are. Joking aside, you are keeping Martin strong. I've stuck him in the bath and he'll have to stay there until I pull him out. Yes life has ...

Lol.. Tony. i'm still laughing.. So today I go into Hospital to start the barrage of tests that will confirm what the hell is wrong with me. Not looking forwards to the electric needles in the muscles test! they tell me that there is some slight discomfort, which means that it hurts like hell :roll:...

Hey ho..the look on the poor doctors face when he saw the state i'm in, was priceless. he did the basic neurological examination. and immediately phoned the neurology dept at the hospital to speak to the Neurologist. he told me that the he would phone me at home [friday] to arrange for me to either ...

check the airbox for oil.. RSVs are notorious for spitting oil into the airbox, if there is even a little to much oil in them.. just a thought.. :wink2

My RSV does the same . especially if it's been sitting a while . or if the night before has been chilly if it clears after a few seconds during warm up for instance i wouldnt worry too much. put your hand over the end and see if it gets sooty, dont touch it of course. hot burny. and smell your hand ...

ok so like twenty odd years ago i got my first city & guilds, in motor vehicle craft studies. and i remember being shown how to clean out the carb and give the engine a type of pseudo de-coke. with Redex... and the amount of white smoke that was exhausted was incredible. we did this by tipping a...

OK i would suggest you change the oil. if it has white gungy crap in it you will know you have water in the oil and a blown gasket or a warped or cracked head... :wink2
which you already know ...sigh. i'll shut up now. think i'll go back to the balloon animal forum..
