Yes of course my mistake 70c would take a bit of standing. I hate these confusing frog metric crap units of measure.

I'm thinking you may mean 7 deg C, just maybe, I know Global Warming is possibly having an effect, or have you got a really good heater?It's not too warm here at the moment. 70c where i'm sat but bloody cold at the other side of the window.
But what has temperature got to do with getting stuff done? In 1998 I was working in mid European winter in a Bavarian hydraulics manufacturers heated workshop, got so warm in the afternoons we had to have a long neck bottle of the local brew from the vending machine that sat next to the cold water fountain.
We carried on manufacturing, measuring, assembling, regardless of the snow outside, certainly made it hard to get to the Bierhaus for lunch.
No i dropped a bollock putting c instead of f. Should have been 21c or 70f.

Perfect working temperature!
By George, a bit warm for this time of year where you are, nearly tropical.
Got my truck on the hoist at our Men's Shed today for a service, it's about 35 deg C and 90% humidity so could be sweaty by the time the job is done.

That's more like it, ha, ha!That is where i am sat, outside it is around -3.
Update on the no traction. The problem was the clutch, as I say I bought the car just over 3 months ago, the seller told me he works as a fitter semi skilled, and he had a new clutch put in by his colleges , ok fair enough, but what he didn’t say was, they did not have a clue how to fit a clutch, they cut a hole in the bottom of the gearbox to allow access to the clutch, they ground down a bolt inside so they could fit the release arm, other nuts were ground down, result clutch not fitted correctly and totally misaligned , running off centre, centre of friction plate ripped out friction plate had also been slipping and had various cracks in it, the back plate with thrust bearing torn from seating, the whole clutch destroyed. Hand brake oil from gearbox seal, so whole thing off tomorrow, clean out, new brake shoes, cables.

Christ I wouldn't want any work done by them, its not hard to get the box out they probable took more time trying to bodge it,
A true case of if you don't know how to don't do it.
Sounds like your on top of it now, we were right about the centre plate, one would never for see that bodge.
