Ryder Ref kill switch. The safest position is to fit the comp spec kill switch very near to the battery itself. Doing it this way will keep the length of unprotected wire to a minimum. What I would suggest is an additional internal choke cable which activates the kill switch lever. That...

Ryder. If you want a relay or kill switch you need one capable of 500 amps capacity. AT LEAST. A diesel will pull that easily enough when starting on a cold morning. The standard safety isolator will do it. Just. But they burn out easily even when used on a petrol car. A diesel will pull...

Just a quick note regarding a refusal to carry out an MOT. If there is any Mud, dirt, road grime or any other foriegn substance that inhibits my view of the mechanical parts and/or the body and chassis I can refuse to carry out the MOT and charge for it. Even if the seat are too dirty or thick...

Hi Ryder. Ref your piece of wood with nails etc. Take the offending article to the police station with the exact location of where it was found. You must make it official and make a written complaint. You MUST get a crime number to go with this and dont settle for anything less...

Hi Jacob. There are many spot welds to drill out when replacing a rear wing panel. It has been many years since I last did one but I just replaced every spot weld with a pop rivet. I believe the army used extra body strengtheners pop riveted into place as well so the method is sound. I need...

Hi Ryder. Diesels suggestion This is along the right lines but from memory a T7 is only rated at 1500kgs. Still not enough to pull out a properly boged suzuki never mind a fully laden disco going the best part of 3 tons with occupants. You can easily end up needing snatch blockes even...

Ref Come on Ryder get serious mate. These are used to lift engines out using an "a" frame and you can feel the weight with every pull of the handle. The advertised "4 ton pull" is used by cheap winch manufacturers to describe the weight of a "rolling load" that is, what this can pull...

Hi Jamie. I used the standard package that comes with windows vista. Windows Movie Maker Many tell me its crap etc but I find it to be the easiest and quickest way to make reasonable movies. Mine came free with my pc package. The tricky part can be getting the raw footage onto the pc in...

Well done for the recover and even more well done for the perseverance of the recovery team for "leaving no man behind" !!! I still maintain there will be MANY people all waiting and wanting to hit this lane ASAP. And I lay money there will be pictures.

I just figured out my BFG Allterrains are over 50,000 miles old and about half worn. They are the most expencive tyre I ever purchased and yet they are the cheapest tyre I have ever owned.

He would be better off farting into the inlet manifold!!!:doh: All the laughing gas will do is make US laugh!!! Spud, I am about on your days off. If you want a hand just shout. 1 condition is that you get your bus onto dry, solid land before we start work!

ref Spydermans ski/snow report. Your experience is the reason the last 3 times a group of us travelled to Chamonix we used rovers. At least you can be masters of your own destiny! Tip 1. When the map shows a track over the mountains and it crosses a few pistes. You probably cant drive to...
