Strange area if the tax rules there, you are allowed to produce/use 4,000 litres of bio fuel per annum and provided it is for personal use, duty free. If you use it in a work can or similar though it becomes liable for duty. Have the EU to thank for getting paid to take old vegetable oil, pig breeders used to collect it free of charge, but waste oil was outlawed by the EU from being put in animal swill/feeds, and it has to be disposed of in an approved/costly way.

Round here most oil suppliers to chippies take the old stuff back and sell it tomajour bio manufacturers for a profit so we were paying 85p ish a litre for used oil full of rubbish which meant we were at break even point with pump derv but spending time doing it

Not much progress this week as still waiting on the painter to do the frame and all metal black parts.
Had I little time so, stripped the speedo drive down and rebuild. If no one have ever seen one of these apart before and how many parts to it but, only one part number.

Thanks for this picture, last time I had it in my hands I wanted to disassemble it, but was afraid to damage something - what's to proper way to do it? Can yoi share your know how? ;)

Remove the seal, it should be reusable unless it is cracked or damaged.
Clean as much of the old grease out so, you can see what you are doing.
There is a wire circlip that needs to be removed and a shim washer under that. Once that is out you can remove the cog.
Take the grub screw out that holds the end cap on and push the end cap out using the drive. You will find a washer on each end of the drive. Inspect these are nice and smooth as, any catching can make the clock needle wave.
Clean up all the parts, re grease and assemble ;)
