Hicap phill's latest activity

The 110 does not have an rtc damper. That was the td5. So just standard damper. The old box caught the bottom of the of the drop arm on the steering guard but the one previous one to that didn’t. So I will have a look in the morning and see if...

Pre-Installing an inverter/charger on a plyboard with large Anderson connectors and all cabling in such way that is quickly separable. Due to Dutch tax-laws the canopy must be easy seperable and removable in 1 motion. First photo is the pre...

Some do catch on the lip of the guards when the TRE rolls over. Have you still got a return to centre shock fitted ?

Put all 4 bolts into box. put on steering arm Turn steering(engine running) a few times to center everything up Then do that mounting bracket up. No bushes etc on the thread just that big washer

I’ve just checked with a colleague - 40’ container UK to Durban or Cape Town is currently $2675 US., quayside to quayside. Appreciate that’s just the sea ‘movement’.

Thats nice good luck mate lol. Now I see why you want a sheetbox to weld as you want a good excuse to get oot the hoose. 🤣🤣

I hear that a lot - but ageing parents is one thing, and the other is that life here isn't all safaris and sunsets; there is a lot that doesn't get published in the news, which is very, very tough. Everywhere seems a bit broken at the moment, so...

Put them both in a shipping container…

Also if the bulb holder is not in the correct location it may not work. Line up the holder with pins from the working side

Can you remove the bulb holder from the other side & see if it works in the bad lens? Unsure if the wiring is linked through the bulb/holder. Need a voltage reader and find the correct cable & trace the wire back to the light that does not work.

I'd stay in Africa. Seriously.

What’s up with the light you have? If the lens is not cracked you may be able to short out on the rear contacts to make them work

Check the following Handbrake drum. Is this tight? When the prop goes on is it still tight? The UJs in the rear prop may have worn & need replacing. Is the big nut on the transfer box(behind the propshaft) tight?

Do the hardest job.. A frame bushes & knuckle(replace the whole knuckle with carrier & new bolts) I used the proper bushes for this job as they are a pain to do if they go again. Make up your own brake pipes or buy the set for your car. Can of...

Well that’s 6 weeks to get the other list of parts needed. & the other 1 stripped. You don’t want to be finding you need parts & have to wait during the build.

Well I'm not quite sure exactly what the issue was but touch wood I've fixed it! Got her running again this afternoon after giving the float bowls another clean out, checking the float level and blowing out the needle valve. Then replacing the...

Inherited house not council property. Due to my mother declining physical ability. Manchester social services assessment for alterations to the house via grant scheme. With a percentage cost to the owner on financial ability. I think it was the...

Thought I'd share this with you all. Scan of a cartoon from my fav cartoonist (GILES) from my collection, and a photo I took in 2022 when there for my dottir's wedding. Her married name is Giles. With a bit of foresight I should have put my...

That's the way to do it.

Provided you are competent (knowledge + experience) you can do your own work. There are some jobs you are not supposed to do yourself, and require a proper electrician, such as installing a complete new circuit from the consumer unit, working on...

Is that you at Gretna for a special event?? 😵‍💫

Don’t 🍻. Just get more beer. J

Its the death of the householder that electrocuted himself by feeding one room from two sources and only switchin one source off at the board.

You can do your own installation and get it certified by a registered a sparkey or get it registered under competent person act

I replaced that seat mesh on my trike. :) Seems OK. Time will tell. Is already nicer to sit on. Will need tightening up after a while.

Was that on a recovery lorry? ;)

Dust pan and brush to clean it up then and wash the walls down 😯

Don't you have to have registered certificates now for rewiring. Especially if selling the property later on.

I ain't no expert but have done loads of domestic elecs for myself. Assuming 2 days for a spark and a mate, £1000 should more than cover the labour. Add say another £1000 for materials and profit. Total 2 grand.

Its a bit of "how long is a bit of string" We dont know how many sockets/what type, how extensive is the rewire. New fuse box new scokets+boxes, access (floorboards up?) 2 days work sounds like the house is pretty gutted. I dont know the prices...
