Christ I must be getting maudlin,had a few drinks as my neighbour passed away.makes you think of your own vulnerability:rolleyes::oops:

Hope you have done the lottery,the poor bugger wasn't injured,just wasn't able to breathe with the weight of the Cortina on him:eek:.The watch sub officer said don't worry they're not all like this,next shout at 0530 was to a RTC head on between a bread delivery wagon and a mini. We were tasked...

You were very lucky,a good set of axle stands are a necessity. One of the first jobs I went to after I passed out of Cheshire County Fire Brigade training school was to a guy who was working on his car which was balanced on a scissor jack but not for long I'm afraid.DOA.

Or do what I've done and do away with unneccessary trips,and fu¢ them all, fuel companies and the government,I'm still on the£80 of diesel I put in before my last trip away, meant to say petrol had gone up to €1.61 a litre in the Canaries:eek::mad::mad:

Just taken it out or a run and no reoccurrence of the eas fault, said very quietly so the bastid doesn't hear.:eek:

My personal weapons of choice when splitting tapers;)

Yes will do, hopefully just a glitch, probably due to me washing it for the first time in four years:eek:;)

Glad to see your still around.:D

Don't know Keith,first of all loads which was down to bad Comms just cleared the lot when I got good idle haven't been out in it since,I hope it knows it's on the naughty step.:mad::D

For some reason the eas threw a hard fault,got home charged the laptop and cleared it,touch wood all ok now.

How do you know I'm a must Mark?:oops:

You not sure Pete? welcome to the bad memory club.:eek::D:D

Welcome and join the club, we're always rambling.;):D

+1, from memory I think you have to press the top one out first to get access for the threaded part of the press for the bottom one. Hope the joints have been in the freezer and warm the yoke up a bit and fit them quickly.Good luck and well done Dad for coming to the rescue.;):D

Pete before putting your hand in your pocket what's the problem with manual adjustment?;):D

guess he thought of his future,a couple of hours evaporating then a small source of ignition with a detonation velocity of approximately 5400 m/s :eek::eek::eek:;) it is a low sensitivity explosive when all said and done.

Never had to do it myself but I think I remember someone on here did.

Electrickery is all a mystery to me.:rolleyes:

Cutting blade in an angel grinder?

I remember a story of a Chief Technician who was a right rrrrr's hole had a habit of flicking his cigarette into a 45gallon drum that had the top cut off and used as a FOD bin in a hangar.some underling was so miffed with him he emptied a couple of gallons of Avpin into it :eek: He then had time...
