Or cut shortern in the pipe trunking make them both run above the skirting in a neat manner and lift the Rad brackets a few inchs higher. Or just remake the 1 that used to run along the wall from inside the trunking. or just the last bit from the...

Morning all, I might get some welding done later. Off to polish a bit of my boat I may be back sooner if it starts to rain (very dull n overcast) njoy yer day zooners.

Problem is more than visual Old skirting was only 2" high and one pipe ran above and one along the wood Pipes need to be bended outwards to clear the skirting as they don't (and never have) sit nicely on the wall as they come down So either bend...

Morning All. :D Cat's unwell, has a little diarrhoea problem. :( Usually cats manage to sort themselves out and their gut is very robust, but if she is still unwell by Monday its the Vet's. No thunderstorms and just light rain here (yellow...

Might be, I don't know. I may give it a good MER polish on the bonnet. :cool:

There's a sqworkin squirrel on me garage going bonkers at worr eye fort was anuvva squirrel who wants to share brekfust nuts. He's bin going fer 5 mins despite me looking out so eye gorrup and went out the front to look down the side ov me...

However, I do think Dacia have got it right with that Spring fing of theirs. Small, cheap, reasonable miles. Most other leccy cars are monstrous great things with too many doohickies to drain the battery. Like they say K I S S.

TBH I wouldnt bother, fresh coat of paint on the pipes. Whos gonna see/know/care? (the answer is not you) If you really want them to run on top of the skirting they will be more visible even if smaller pipe. Yes there will be extra resitance to...

In other news. Fresh new pulley fitted to the spare alternator last afternoon. Loctite 620 on the spindle and threadlock on the.. errm.. thread. Running very sweetly now. Made me realise just how crackered the old one was. Now, where's me Sou'...

I gots 6%. Course, 6% of buggrall dunt come to much..

All sounds a bit overblown and iffy to me. Fink I'd find someone else..

Fresh coat of white paint on the pipes, will make it look neater with a lot less work.

Is it just that the clear/lacquer coat is going orf???

Well the other panels are all fine so I think it is just the bonnet. It does look nice though (overall).

Where do you park yer horse lol

Lmao you guys solder them and the like, my emergency fix is strip back wire, twist and tape hahahah!

I did say "usually" the universal get out!! As you know from anuvva fred I'll be getting more fancier soldering gear soon to mend 8 thermostats, so I'll have no excuse then.

Yer better watch you dont knock your drink over with that growing nose of yours. 🤣 🤣

No matter how well you wrap things in tape water always gets in. better plastering the block in ct1.

Got a self igniting soldering iron gun 🤣 🤣 Well you click the button & it lights it doesnt do it on its own. :p

So if the gas gun only does the heat shrink, wot do you use for the solderin?

Yur, well I have stuff like that too, but I don't carry it around with me int cars! The choc block gets it home then it gets fixed propah, usually!! 🤣

Chock blocks haha do peeps still use them, I have a nice set of blue point (snap on) wire strippers & solder water proof heat shrink connectors. To heat shrink them I have a sealey gas gun which takes lighter fluid. :)

Amongst the mountain of tools and spares I take with me in the Disco, both rear paniers full and a trolley jack in the rear passengers foot well, I class gaffer tape and cable ties as the most likely to solve a problem. Both great inventions...

WTF? 4 would be even betterer!!!

2 or even 3..you do know 3 aint an even number :p
