Tesco row shows Sundays are still sacred on Hebridean islands
The first Sunday opening of a Tesco has sparked a row and put a part of island culture under the spotlight.www.bbc.co.uk
But can anyone explain WHY tesco are so set on this? Are the islanders suddenly going to spend thousands of pounds more than their usual weekly spend? Other than increasing the wage bill, I see no benefit....for anyone.
It'll upset the mainland workers if the 'Contract' isn't the same all over Britainshire...
Did that last night but couldn't hold the wires on bettery and take pic at same time, all 13 on both sides bright as fook
Having read your thing on this I am tempted to get a set and fit them all along the bumper of the Disco, white, switched via the reversing light.Mornin

I really am thinking now that the problem is the pump, hopefully just a sticky impellor, I "sticked" it this arternoon and it was going "whst, whst, whst" instead of "weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee". So far too slow a speed. Also when I bled it it was the only place where blackish watter came out.
I am switching it all off tonight so that in the morn it'll be cold and I'll be able to take it to a point where I can possibly shift the impellor around or strip it down further. Don't fink they are that much money unless you can still get cartridges for them.
Would an uprated pump for my 15-50 be a 15-60?
Asking for a dumbo!

As you have a Grundfos pump if you get another Grundfos you can turn it of at the pump valves and undo the four allen bolts and just remove the head and swap it out the new one will be flow sensing A rate but will wire up the same.I really am thinking now that the problem is the pump, hopefully just a sticky impellor, I "sticked" it this arternoon and it was going "whst, whst, whst" instead of "weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee".

You learn something new every day is there any gasket involved?

No there is a large o ring on the pump motor, its an easy way of changing a pump if access is not good or the valve nuts are well corroded on, it has been known to undo the nuts with a hammer and chisel or even hacksaw.
Look good set in the bumper an brighter than reverse lampHaving read your thing on this I am tempted to get a set and fit them all along the bumper of the Disco, white, switched via the reversing light.

Yes but it is attached to my Disco 1 300tdi!
I was talking about fitting something to my Disco 2 TD5.
Sounds like a good plan. I have no idea really how "flow sensing A rate" would work out but I am sure you are telling me it'll be OK. Can I just get a core/cartridge type thing or do I need to buy a whole pump and just take the head out?
Thanks very much yet again for the valuable advice.
That is exactly what I was thinking of doing. I seem to so often to be in dark places turning around and having to reverse towards "stuff"!
Just wondering if there were any legalities I'd have to think about.
How many of us can remember when old style Mini Coopers (and lookalikes) used to have reversing lights bolted onto the bootlids, which basically were spotlights?
