If you want to make your photo files smaller - there are free online sites you can use. I'll talk you through it if you like.

HI Graham,
Joking aside, here's how I size my pics on a windows computer.
Upload the pic to my desktop. Open with microsoft office picture manager. Click on Picture in the toolbar, scroll down to Compress Pictures and click on it. A new box should open up on the right of the screen. Click on the option for Compress for Web Pages, then click on okay. The original image should have shrunk. Close down the page and click on Save.
Now when you post on the forum, go to the Attachments box below the dialog box and click on it. A box will appear below saying Add files, click on it. A pop up screen saying File Upload will appear. It should open on Desktop, if that is where your image is, click on the image number. If not, click on the folder your image is in and select it from there. Then click on open.
A box will open below Add file which will have your image reference in it, click on place in line and the image will be attached to your post. You will see something like this appear if you've got it right.

Then just submit the post as normal.
If you're not on Windows, then I haven't a clue, and you're on your own. But, I'm sure someone will be able to help you with any other system.
Regards,

Its alive 
yes today we eventually had the engine running but only realising we had spent half a day trying to start it with a faulty new ignition switch so have had to use the old one for now then our celebrations was short lived as we found that the crank rear oil seal was leaking so will have to do that now but will carry on finishing the wiring off like lights and stuff then I will yank the engine out and replace it

Oop's I forgot to update from the weekend, well the engine's out and the back end of the engine is all stripped and cleaned off ready for the new seal and gasket to be fitted ( once the seal arrives ) so hopefully this weekend hopefully I will have the engine back in
