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...

Dust pan and brush to clean it up then and wash the walls down He can smell you need to rub the trap with composed

Yes and no. It seems a little gray area to me. I have also rewired houses, and am confident its ok. but that wouldnt stand in the UK now. But 🤔. Probably yes if they knew🤔. We have had to get electrical "safe" certs for our rentals but they...

Wow get 40 out the defender at 70 mph 😮

I am lucky to get to 70mph for long enough to even try and measure it :D. J

I had a big rat in a shed at work today and it was that busy it didn’t see me which was a mistake. Nipped out of the shed and fetched a 20 gauge, then went back into the shed and said bye to mr rat🫢

Oh yeah, forgot to say, also fitted my (new to me, but very old) series 3 steering wheel to the 90.(bit of a game researching 36 or 48 spline wheels, and went down a weird rabbit hole with the whole subject!) 🤦‍♂️ I've always hated the look of...

I think this is the kind of setup is required...

Seller defo on drugs!
