SNIP


I went past the house this evening where I'm collecting it - it's navy
blue. However, it's been stored facing down a slope which'll make
freeing the handbrake fun, particularly as I've got to push it up the
drive to get it out!

Push? Get a tow rope!!

Nope - got a simpler solution. Someone's coming with me to get it. He can
push.

Good man!

I've re-read the notes I took when speaking with her. Apparently the spark
plug "pops out", which tells me the thread might be gone.

That means re-threading the head?

Chemical metal, then sell it on before they need changing :)



Actually, Chemical metal with grease on the plug threads, but throughly
degreasing the area of the head.

Very bodged but as long as the head was clean enough, it might just work
quite well. The plug would unscrew, but the bodge would stay inplace.

You just couldn't torque down the plug if you should.
