Are you buying it Mike ? 😀

That is hilarious 😆 Shackles and string !

😢

I have a cabinet and plumbed my blast pot into it. That worked quite well - what I desperately need to do though is change the hose and nozzle from the blast pot. It’s massive and so inflexible that it’s hard to use. I also struggled with the light and visibility - some helpful suggestions on here though saw me cut a hole in the side that I can fit a vacuum in - that made a really good difference.

Blx indeed 🤦🏻

Gosh - are you sure you want to move to St Annes ? Looks idyllic there !

I’m not sure I want a Baler .. I think I’d contract that*. It’s a haybob and mower that I really need….. but it’s way too much to ask of a relay! (*I can’t deny though that there is a bit of me that would love to make square bales and do the whole hay time thing.)

😲

Yes ! St Anne’s would be unbelievably convenient. My cousin is getting married not a million miles from you, at Gellifawr Woodland Retreat, Fishguard. That’s next year. Imagine if I turned up with a haybob and a mower 😂 When you get up here - do let me know. I’ll take you for a cup of tea. Do you have a date?

You’re a bit too far away Chris, sadly.

Which standard ones are they going for Andy ? The progressive ones ?

This is a thread that I imagined @JeffR would get a lot of use out of ?

I will give it a go - I’ve a bottle of xylene somewhere, which is the thinners for this.

Oh no 😢

I don’t know if we need a thread like this … but here’s my starter …. Bullocks! My zinc richer primer lid hadn’t sealed properly and is dry to the bottom 😡 not cheap either .. maybe I can weigh it in as zinc.

I bought a cheap draper fixed torx bit in a 3/8 drive - easier to get the smaller ratchet in and it it doesn’t need much force.

They do get swapped - the fill plug is usually a T55 torx bit - and the drain a hex head with magnetic pick up (though I’ve seen plenty with the square plug, mine included) Can’t tell if your drain is a torx or the square one. You can swap it when you change the fluids if you want to?

Not the full circuit / but you can see the wires and how it reaches the dash and ECU.

I did wonder that myself - at first I thought it was in case the purple permanently live wire shorted and fed back .. but that red/yellow wire is the fog light and its warning light, which is spliced back into the dash and the ECU.

Be careful of the cheaper MAF sensors, it’s a common experience that they have very short lives. That’s why it’s worth making sure you need one before you buy - and then buying the best you can. I used VDO, who are now rebranded to Continental.

What was the consumption ?

Thank you - that’s very encouraging.

So - I’ve crimped the wire into half a crimp terminal and soldered the diode in. the solder isn’t bright - and the wires outside of the crimp are a little open .. probably because my eyes aren’t what they were .. but I think it’ll do.

That’s right !

That would make sense because the coating doesn’t look like corrosion.
