... that my lad has had some good news for a change. :D His game venture has met with a provisional funding offer to take the concept of the physical game and put it into a cloud-based version. Very exciting times for us as a family. He also...

cool thankyou for letting us know.

Thanks guys. Yesterday I went to a local 4x4 garage ( the sort with old landy’s all over the place ) and played them a recording of the noise. There immediate reaction was it’s the compressor for rear airbags kicking in as caravan bounces behind...

Whats this "paying yourself" you speak of :vb-confused2: . J

I've phoned and reported and confirmed online a leak at a road junction near me ... going three YEARS now ...

On some happier news I have found a registered company who charge only if you take their advice. So essentially they will look into my pensions for free and if they come up with a plan that involves moving a pension then it's a % of the value...

Good luck, a time machine would be fantastic.

Off subject,sorry,if you find a Time Machine let me know cos I’m effin off back to the 80’s…could list the reasons but ain’t got all day. I’m sorting out pension stuff just now too. Nightmare. ✌🏻

thanks, I'll take a look.

Could well be, the contacts inside the solenoid get worn and dirty. Not a difficult job to take it (the starter motor) off and clean them up, replacement kits are cheap. I did this on my Disco TD5. that job is a real sod because the top nut is...

You were lucky. 😲 😲 😲 😲 I/we had 4 of the sods. 3 taken out with my ex, one for each time we bought a house, then the last one when we divorced and I bought her out. The first two did as they were advertised, came in at more than the basic...

I got caught up in the "endowment farce" all the time I had the mortgage I ignored the red letter's warning me to pay in more (in failing endowment, good idea!) and in the end it paid out exactly as it was predicted originally. Must have been...

Hi mate Funny enough heard some horror stories of a few actually twisting the sump metal part itself trying to get them off , which leads to them having to replace the sump which I hear is a right swine to change as I think the front diff has...

Hi mate As u say , on the D4 seeing there’s no dipstick it has a dedicated engine oil drain tube Found a video for u reference with regard to the tube and its location As a side note do a similar thing but using the dipstick tube on my D3

WOW!!!! Really handy!! Job done for him then it looks like!!:):):):)

Hi Hope u don’t mind me adding but as the D4 doesn’t have a dipstick anymore there’s a dedicated engine oil tube that allows to to vacuum drain the engine oil out It’s near the front left hand side of the engine as u look at it , will see if I...

I stopped once the valve body was off. Jeezo whata complex mutha! But a really good vid, the bloke isn't too jokey, isn't too appalingly Merkin and really knows all the little tricks to make it easier, like putting the bolt in to compress the...

Meant to say you were right @Stanleysteamer when you said sadists although probably could have been worse? Check out First part of video Lol

I was on the point of doing that! Luckily my bottle trap works, just!

I had a similar problem with space on the full size sink in my camper van, I ended up using a bath u bend / trap which took up less than half the space and was closer to the sink when fitted

Well yessdi, W's buthday, went OK. 1 1/2 hour's drive to the restaurant, (wish they'd move it a bit nearer!) but as always, really worth it. Set off to come back, 10 mins later she pipes up, "Where's my bag?" fiddles around trying to find it...

That is precisely why W demanded I fit the old kitchen sink one in the utility. Deep isn't the word. But this meant the waste pipe exit out the wall isvery nearly at the same height as the bottom of the sink. so you can imagine.... Still it'll be...

Mornin Lovely weather here I had a Frankie sink once Stanley , could bath the kids in it :D Weighing in some scrap and old batteries today 😊 Freelander playing up :confused: Stay cool all :)

My leaky seals have been upgraded to rusty balls. Paddocks doing well out of me this week.

Morning All. :D Normal service has been resumed and it is bright and Sunny this morning. :) Have a great day! :D

---and all the profits go to shareholders instead of being ploughed back into repairs, maintenance and upgrades. The country's population has risen considerably since the infrastructure was installed and the demand for fresh water and waste water...
