    That's the best bet if you can get at the broken end. For my part screw extractors are pants, particularly on small diameters they are tapered and spread the bolt tightening it in the hole, I find drilling a small hole and tapping a "torx" bit in has a better chance of success. The parallel profile of the torx wont swell the bolt and the flutes provide more than enough drive The trick is getting the pilot hole to start straight, not always easy because the bolt doesn't shear off flat

    You would be preaching to the converted, I have been fitting V8's to land rovers since I was 18 Nothing in the automotive world has the magic that a V8 possesses

    Provided they did no more that was needed to exercise the right of way I don't see an action for damage getting anywhere, it makes no difference who removes the obstruction.

    The temp gauge is nothing to go by. The cooling system will keep the block at a steady temp but the exhaust manifold and downpipe will be begging for mercy. Any road detritus that survived in the normally cooler areas gets burned off, either way if it smelled of rubber it isn't the clutch, friction linings have a very distinctive smell.

    Clutches aren't made of rubber so its unlikely that you were smelling the clutch. More likely it just got a bit warmer than usual on the hill and the smell was detritus burning bits that are warmer than usual

    How big is yours? I thought this was a strange find for the middle of summer, the second picture has a 390xp for scale

    So you are 18 with 2 years experience, meaning you started your experience at 16. This experience is whilst at college then???? I only mention this because when you say experience people are going to assume it means full time work experience You need to be clear about this with employers otherwise you could end up out of your depth. If you don't have at least a couple of years experience as a climber I would seriously re consider freelancing.

    Ya got that right, at the start of last week there were kids in Huddersfield pointing at the sky shouting "mummy mummy what is it? Poor little sods, the only brown they have ever seen is rust stains.

    Oh dear that old myth again. The story goes that copper nails kill trees but its pure myth. They don't make them rot either. Put a bit of "roundup" on it to be sure

    Nope, they don't have to be for insurance purposes, that age boundary is just where the policy starts to get cheaper. There are many insurance companies that will insure young drivers. A driving licence and a towing licence will give you a distinct advantage, put a basic saw ticket with it and you become eminently employable.
