I have limited space for “ another” project😄

Might get my nephew to collect

I think the debate is interesting. Yes, you can buy them cheaper than making them. In this case, as stated earlier, I was looking for plans/drawings for axles stands so I could make my own. It is the fabrication of them that interests me and asking for drawings so that I avoided some of the...

Straight through Centre section fitted, no real difference in noise. thanks for the feedback.

I understand the comments to buy stands, but it is the making of them that interests me, and it will probably be more expensive. I want them to be safe which is why I am asking if there is any info out there.

Has anyone here got, or knows where to find plans for building your own axle stands? I need them to be safe as it's me under the car. I've had a look in the interweb and they are mainly US based building huge one's that are way too big, and that have used as much steel as a Clyde built ferry.

Takes me back to when we built our house, no rock thankfully.

How are things going?

Rodents , little b’stards have nested on top of the engine and eaten the foam on the engine cover and some of the wiring loom. checked my wife’s car and exactly the same. Now repaired, sprayed the engine bay with a peppermint spray as a repellent, they apparently don’t like it and stay clear...

Send it North, Mik and I will finish it for you and you can dig foundations worry free😂😂

Mik, The BMW stuttered into life yesterday and came up with a Drivetrain error which could also point to water in the diesel. Both vehicles filled up at the same local garage.. Car in BMW for a recall tomorrow so, asked for this to be checked.

That’s always the problem at this time of year. You will be surprised how many reasonably warm(ish) days you will get, the skill is getting those to line up with your not busy with life days!

All ok this morning, and ran well when used.

They fill up almost instantly from empty, the lift pump is new so down to the waxing in the filter being the cause. i’ll check the new filter I fitted yesterday before I start it this morning as it was Baltic last night.
