W has been cutting off big bits of the white fur from one of our dogs and jamming them into places around our decking rails for the birds, to help with their nesting.
Lovely to watch the little birds pulling and pulling beakfuls of it out and...
Oil pump cleaned and reassembled, bench tested by operating by hand and a little bit of oil. It squirted a slug of oil into my Barnett so I'll consider that a pass :cool:
Is the bulb holder wrong? Or does it just have one of the wrong power in it? Or what? Seems a shame. :(
Is this what you want?

Afternoon folks :).
Well Air BnB are us, yesterday. Flyin use the facilities have breakfast and leave:p.

We have had a few late arrivals today as it started to be drizzly which is not helpful for the flying, so we...
Got an oil pump for the bonneville engine I am rebuilding, off the bay. An original item, cost 5 sovs. Compared to unbranded repros at 70 sovs or branded for 120+ sovs. Modern ones made with brass bodies, originals in bronze. Checked with a...
I would double that at 50 each minimum you just canot get that quality now ,the repros are tinny and the chrome thin and plastic lens , a lot of jags had them
Nice lamps!
Did you see that Wheeler Dealers where they had a home use rechroming kit? I have a kit that nickel plates but never seen one of these before. It works on much the same principle. The nickel plating one is a doddle to use.
Shame...
Also, at MOT, I discovered that one of the plastic, screw-it-in, one-size-fits-all ones wouldn't pass. :( It was behind the lockable flap so couldn't be nicked easily but evidently not as safe as it should have been. Which made me wonder why they...
Afternoon
Plumber finished for the day now waiting for electrician to remove the shower ffs
Two and a quarter hours work , probably gone on another job.
Anyway, managed to clean up two lamps ready for sale, cash towards next trip to Scotland π
I did have a nice chrome one until I left it at a petrol station went back but was not there , most probably in some office as a paper weight b----'''''''''' s
I once had a problem finding the petrol cap on a 1972 Toyota I had just bought. Pulled up to the pump and couldn't find the cap. The attendant wimmins showed me where it was, behind the rear number plate which flipped down to reveal the cap.
Good thing. Well done.
The Pluriel's cap needs to be unlocked and once that is done the key won't come out of it, so there is a cunning little hook on the filler flap you hang it all on while filling up, you then have to put it back in with the...
Mornin all.
Two tyres on the Disco now.
Going to work out if it will be cheaper to put frog tyres on W's Pluriel or Brit ones. If that is at all possible.
Raining a bit here, so ... very glad that I finished the work on the trailer yessdi...
Well, it sounds as if you did this at home so there's a good chance of finding the cap.
I once did this in a fuel station in Yorkshire and lost the lockable cap completely. Total pain.
Had my annual health check with nursey. All parts working normally, a picture of health I am. When I got back home I noticed I had not replaced the filler cap on me Landy after tipping a jerry can of diesel in this morning. :oops:
