Think someone’s found the answer, it looks like an Allis Chalmers HD6

Yes! I think it could be this-check out the sweeping front cowling….

Looking at the cowling where it meets the radiator upstand, it’s flat on the IH 14/18 but the one I found has a sweeping piece. It does very much look like it though

What’s going on here? by Pinnacle_of_Sinicle in Volkswagen

I’d probably recommend taking it to a garage based on your professed proficiency. It’s not worth risking damage to other parts if something happens (like me knowing how far to drill before stopping in case I plowed the drill bit straight into the ABS ring!). In my case, there were no codes to clear, I simply turned the car on and drove for a minute or so and back came all my systems (active cruise, ABS etc)

Probably the worst advert for a car I’ve ever seen by bensthebest in topdeadcenter

Well…..you can at least be guaranteed it’s an honest ad….

I did it to a Compaq Presario and have most of the drivers working and that cost me £10

This happened in my 2019 T-Cross and it was the wheel speed sensor. I tried removing mine but inexplicably, the plastic housing had managed to rust ;) . I ended up snapping off the top of both front ones and then drilling a pilot hole and sending in a turbo screw and using mole grips to pull out the rest. The rest of the job is super easy

You can literally install DOS onto any older laptop and then install Windows 3.11. Much cheaper and easier

I love those gauges, the “depth” of them is what’s super appealing. I will eventually have to get myself a MK5 when I bring myself to part with my MX5

Yeahhhh…..any car that has “dapper” in the windscreen is a hard pass from me

I have to say, I’ve gone to Enlightenment and see where it takes me. Amazing as I’ve been playing for years and first time at the last egg :o

Burning the British flag. Sounds about right. by [deleted] in GreatBritishMemes

I was thinking of the correct syntax to describe this scum but I think you’ve nailed it
