[Spits] Timing chain cover nut

[Gosling, Richard]

"British auto design and manufacturing collapsed years ago, especially
after the Japanese auto industry rose."

Not really true.  British car design is alive and well, car
manufacturers from around the world use the services of British
consultants such as Lotus, Perkins (both of whom I've worked for),
Cosworth, Ricardo and TWR (oops, yes, I think TWR was brought down by
the collapse of MG Rover now I think about it).

A lot of cars are manufactured in Britain too - mostly by Japanese firms
(Honda, Toyota and Nissan all have big plants), as well as by Ford and
Vauxhall (GM's British brand), also Jaguar, Land Rover and other more
niche manufacturers.  Apart from the Japanese brands, however, things
aren't looking good at the moment - Ford and GM have been cutting back
for several years, and currently Ford are looking to sell Jag and Landie
to Tata, an Indian company, which will likely move a lot of production
over to India if they succeed.

The only thing we don't have any more is a British-owned mass-market
brand.
