Take it easy mah maan!Been kicked off my ship for a couple of days cause its getting an asbestos report done. The other lads
are sanding a boat & ive been sorting some moorings that the lads left like a pile o cr@p all tangled
Think I might not be fit enough to be pulling them chains about.
Got me new turbo ordered this morning. And a few other bits as found necessary during last week's foray under the bonnet with progressively larger hammers. And some more tools - a set of mini ratchet handles to improve fitting in restricted spaces, and an inspection mirror on a long bendy handle so's I can see what I am doing. Although what I will see will be upside down and turning the wrong way. And although I don't mind squandering my pension in this way, I do object to the price of a few single M8 nuts which cost about £4 for 3, and another 4 sovs postage. But not as bad as JLR who wanted 35 sovs per nut. Anybody want a slightly chewed genuine Land Rover nut, used once only, half price?

I didn't buy the JLR 10-pack. I really only need one nut, so bought 3. I have got literally hundreds of spare nuts of all types of metric and imperial form, as one would have after nearly 60 years of spannering. The ones I got are a type which grip the stud on the last thread and have a flanged base, much better than washers and springs when the job is fiddly in the extreme. Any road up, money has been spent. Will have a rest for a couple of days until it all gets delivered.There wont be a next time look at all the spares he has
