  5. Grew up with Dickie Davis followed by a Sat afternoon of wrestling Big Daddy n Giant Haystacks, went to see BD at Walton sports center but his opponent didn't show ! Pat Roach was a good wrestler then went on to be stuntman and actor so has always been about but not really seen any since then
  6. I had a look and it seems similar, thanks for input.
  7. Looking at protecting my chassis ready for winter and came across the above. It uses water base to penetrate into nooks and crannies and takes effect through a chemical reaction changing the structure of any rust and hardens. Has anyone used it ..?
  8. ELG Well I did have a little puff on a a cig n it did not taste as I remembered ! In fact it tasted horrible So I aint that great:sneaky2: I do feel much better don't gag, don't have a coffee n fag or sit on the computer smoking not bothered about it and actually seem to have found much more time on my hands to do things I have been putting off. My rolly stain on my fingers have gone my clothes don't stink. The only downside is I don't look so hard n cool any more

  10. When I had mine and wanted to extend the sides I was looking at wait for it .................up and over alli garage doors! If you look at them, you will know what I mean trimmed and with cappings you would get cheap light sides that would be in keeping..and cheap
  11. I don't miss it, have had people smoking around me and still enjoy the smell. Not a reformed get that thing away from me ex smoker.....not a substitute in site ..don't even regard myself as a ex smoker In fact I am on a top buzz from being in control of my mind and body....cause if you cant control it who does..? The hard bit for me was making that decision and sticking to it for the first 48hrs..it wasnt easy that's for sure You have all helped by commenting on my first post and it was good to get it written down as it made it a reality that I really felt I could not back down from. Also receiving good will from lets be honest 'strangers' just show's what a good community there is here and I tip my hat to you all. Had my first fag at 13 smoked everything possible to smoke since, now at 40 I have dropped it like a hot potato. THE END

    Landy kit

    This is the best bit of kit to go with your bate hitch I then had one winch for the two land rovers I was running at the time.....kept it safe from being nicked and out of the elements/salt and wasnt running around with the extra weight when it was'nt needed
  19. Can u not pop it off the top of the dash and check wire colours one would be earth.. and maybe the other you can trace ,it may be a completely different colour to the original wiring loom and be easy to trace ? it may well be just cable tied to loom and branch of to the mystery extra........but at least you can start by looking for just the one colour It may even just run to a fuse under dash and stop there .....have fun

  21. Thanks Mr Blair especially coming from you ! n all your kit you've had as I have been a little green of your set ups
  22. Paul came across as a really sound bloke and part of the reason I went for it was the workmanship that had been put into his house build. A few jobs to do on it but overall I am chuffed but with new discs all round, springs etc and the fact that he didnt know how the front pto worked showed me he hadnt abused, he just used it to move rubble and his dumper
