    once had a 2001 corsa:blushing:, and the carpet got a litre of fresh orange juice spilled and then forgotten under a coat for a month behind the passenger seat, pulled all (unfastened carefully) all the centre trim, belts, seats, airbag connections, side trim etc out till carpet came out easily, then a quick hot jetwash cleaned the carpet pretty good then refitted easy. if your van is leaking then its time for the hosepipe test while you sit inside looking for leaks getting in, or just put up with steamy windows all the time and get some wellies:thumbup:

    well i'm rarely seen without my teddy outfit on but had to lower my head and back away.. at first i was like 'who's a pretty boy then?' then it made me a bit uneasy. a bit like the field of bulls i was working in last month, first jump in and chase them all away with a branch.. then they wander back to eat the fallen branches, this time the big one doesn't run away, its eyes went a bit bloodshot and it held its ground. i'm still alive which means i ran away like a sissy girl:blushing:

    i was checking out the birds at a bird sanctuary and the golden eagle there was looking at me for ages, its gaze was so intense i had to look away first.. it felt like it was looking right through me, totally blown away

    i would think any metal kettle would do, if it boils too fast make a circle out of welding wire to hold the kettle up a couple of mm, this works brill for cooking all day while you are out without burning the grub

    there's a big sign saying 'hand jobs £5', i was gutted when they washed the car:thumbdown:
  13. armchairarborist
    i'm pretty sure hitting any body of water at over 45mph counts as washing it.. no matter how much mud is in the water, i only clean the plates/lights and windows and if its really bad i let the £5hand job brigade have it for 10mins. for £15 i get truck and chipper cleaned and underbonnet steamed:thumbup:

    are you joking? haha they don't share a brain between them, they have broken the truck window twice to 'play' with passing dogs, chewed the back off my haix's, stopped cars in the street to terrorise the drivers by jumping at the windows (just to see who's in there), and got me stopped by the police for having unruly wild dogs in the cab (they made me put them in the back), oh and my personal fave.. they scared a wee scottie dog so much it jumped into the canal! the owners were not amused as they had just had the rabbit groomed:thumbup:

    the best is knowing which car alarms you will set off just by poking ya toe a little harder:thumbup1:
  18. armchairarborist
    you said it had lines underneath? that would be no-10? maybe air filter or intake?
  19. armchairarborist
    well its obviously a bog seat with emergency hand grabs, have you checked the bog roll holder, you will be sorry if its empty:001_tt2: on second thoughts it appears to be engine oil level, i'd guess the cog with arrows is gear oil level and the bog seat shape refers to the engine?

    i drove through there again 3days ago, forgot about the speedbump halfway through and nearly lost the toolbox and chainsaws out of the back of the truck, nearly lost me dinner too, with the 110 doing its best icebreaker impression through the 4inch ice on top of the mud:thumbup:
  21. armchairarborist
    it's scared of running the new splitter.. have you checked all the levels etc?
  22. armchairarborist
    i met one of them guys doing it for the wood with a trailer on his vw estate and a saw running with old sump oil, he told me he says a price and when they ask if he is insured he prices up the cost of the shed and fence in his head and adds that to the price, he says they usually go for the first price not his special 'insured' price.. foolproof really eh?
  23. armchairarborist
    nah they were medium at least:001_tt2:
  24. armchairarborist
    wow 18ton, it doesn't look that heavy:thumbup:
