if its a private sale dont touch it with a barge pole if its a dealer still dont touch it with a bargepole.... if he was worth dealing with it would have been sorted before it went on sale.

205/16.. either whatever was cheapest at the local tyre place when the mot tester said it needed a couple or whatever was going for a fiver on ebay cos somebody decided their perfectly good tyres wernt big /expensive enough for the school run. had some hancocks a few years ago that were crap...

dont try and tow start if the clutch aint free.... youll end up in the boot of whatevers towing if you aint careful

i reckons if yer disco is covered in mud, green bits growing in various places, bumpers a bit bent, the odd scratch etc...pikey is going to think its mechanically crap as well and go lookin for summit more valuable that dont need crap scraping off it. when my ifor plant trailer got nicked i...

can you bodge up a bracket round the chassis with a fine threaded bolt to screw in to press them out? once they start moving it should get easier

taint summit t worry about, we are in a rural area theres pleanty of discos about, mine will be the oldest dirtiest crappiest looking of the selection in the carpark, and at the end of the day its insured.

check the oil aint rusty water

i use low when reversing a trailer, cos youre going that bit slower youve got more time to think about which way to waggle the steering wheel

mines just come through at ten quid less than last year... rang them up to renew as i cant be arsed to spend the time on meerkats , realistically its unlikely to be more than a few quid saving, woman on the phone says she'll check for requotes and knocks fifteen quid off. that was the rac.

ive used arc for years on thicker stuff...bought an old disco and then a gasless mig, i find it easier and neater on the thin sheet stuff. id say your wasting your time trying to do thin sheet with arc it will always be bird**** or holes, with a bit of practice mig will be quicker and neater...

i used to take the cover off me 140 amp air cooled arc welder..it still cut out on the overload but not so often , eventually it died on a hot day, the 180 amp fan cooled one that replaced it never gets hot.

surely you get the numpty to attach the towrope to his car , then drive in so he can drop the loop in the end of the rope over your towball . that way you dont go paddling and stay in control of yer revs,
