Hippo's latest activity

Just ordered the sump gasket and sump plug, (was feeling optimistic) for the Disco so I can get on and change the infamous oil pump bolt. Didn't buy their RTV as the cost of that was about the same as the rest including postage! Then realised...

In yet other "slow day news" it is sort of drizzling here at the mo, so I have hung washing out on the line which is just under the edge of the covered patio, because, (coughs) the "Metéo" for both the place just up the mountain from us, and the...

Tratter engine (powerful) Freelander engine (40 watts)

Nobody. It gets a bit of black mould under there so I periodically clean and disinfect it, followed by a couple of fresh coats of paint. (lack of air circulation and a warm damp area).

But,…… if you’re painting under a worktop behind the washing machine, who’s going to see?

Speak for yourself. Up at 5 this morning, painting from 6 to 7 under a kitching worktop. Had to move the washing machine out but couldn't get it out quite far enough for comfort - had to leave it plumbed in because the shut off valve is seized...
