Poor wee soul I hope she recovers soon.

They wos repeats

So sorry to hear all this.:(:( Commiserations, mate.

Yer but using the mitre saw means getting the flipping thing out, finding a safe place to put it, getting an extension lead etc etc. I agree it does make great cuts but......... So you ain't a fan of the jack saw then? Fact is, if I am moving...

I suspect that this might have been a bit of "preaching to the choir". Anyone who has spent any time on the business end of a handsaw to build anything significant knows this approach. The other thing you didn't remind us was "let the saw do...

The old gal had another procedure today. Wifey went there at 5PM to find that the old'un had only been carted off to theatre 10 mins earlier. At 8PM she called to be told that her Ma was back on the ward but not yet fully with it (is she ever?)...

Eye didnt think yer were older than 80.

Humping aye :vb-biggrin::vb-biggrin:

Kev's tip of the day..... Chip hand saw on to the back of the bench. Place timber on mitre saw adjust angle you want, hold in place pull trigger & TAA DAAA. 🤣 🤣

Who said filthy was about dirt..? :vb-eyebrows:

I object to that. I'll have you know I just had a bath and it's not even summer yet. Although I couldn't see the bottom of the bath when I got out, it was a bit cloudy. Maybe next time I'll have the first bath instead of the oinker. 😁

Weather is filthier than a tratterer down ere. Plenty rainyblow. Funny but it seems regular here this time of year, just after swmbo's peonies flower. They gets battered.

What about fitting a (removable) tank onto the truck. And a bit of hose to connect it to the caravan? Then you could fill it up and no humping it back to the caravan.

Have a roll along but it's heavy to work with when full, plus lifting it on and off the truck when going to fill it etc, I take two 25 ltr plastic drums as well

If your TD5 is the one in your avatar pic it looks early, i.e. pre-facelift so I am a little surprised it even has a cat. If it has a 15p or 16p engine then just unplugging the MAF will have a more dramatic effect than if it was on a 10p engine...

@landowner Search Jacksons leisure They have the fiamma tanks and pumps. Also all the water fill points. I have the fiamma tank

Water tank… fitted to boats /campers have a large opening in the top. Put a vent valve in it & you can back fill these. Have 1 in the horse lotry. Cap is big enough to get hands in to put fittings into the side of the tank. Off for a search for you…

Moomins are 80 years old. Well 80 years since their first story was published. Top telly when eye were a nipper. https://www.moomin.com/en/moomin80/

Wharrabout the Roly ones ?

Afternoon Showers here and cool I'm researching water tanks to go under the caravan, fed up with humping water containers about I got some square tubing to go across the chassis for the tank/tanks to sit on (fill em up on site) Shovelled half a...

G'day all. Bin "taps aff" yessdi pm and today more or less so far. Bin workin int polytunnel so got extra sweaty. Forgot how hard it is for me to work at ground level. After a while, and not a very long while, either my knees or my back, or both...

Morning All. :D Bright & Breezy out there today. :) A shopping day. :( Have a good one! :D

Nuvva big cloud coming across. Wevva ses we're gerrin 6mm today. Collected 80L over night wiv me harvester. Tis difficult to wuk out the area its collecting from wiv only small amounts as me guttering has to fill first. The flat bit has to fill...

Get it running as best as it can, before even thinking about wasting that sort of money ...

If the car is an auto, it will in due course knacker the gearbox as effectively nullifies the torque reduction required on gear shifts to protect the clutches. Plenty of ooomph in the M51 if it's running well IMO.

A great man once said “fitting a tuning box to an already unhealthy engine is as useful as tits on a mars bar”. He said that to me. And he was right. As usual If you wanna go down that route look up p38 PSI or Synergy box but unless your...

Just watch you don't mistake it for propolis or you will be really stuck

Eye is having a steak n chips wiv peppercorn sauce, after a hard days graft. Well watching others do hard graft makes my brain tired. :vb-biggrin::vb-biggrin:

How they get a new queen bee is by getting out the special KY jelly. 🤣🤣

As the guarantee states , it's time sensitive, 😞
