  1. Will still give you nothing if the terminals are corroded. Best to check them first on the machine
  2. Undo them and use a flat file across the surface of the ring terminals to freshen them up. Same with the battery earth- often overlooked but critical.
  3. Hard to see exactly but most likely yellow one with a spade on the end mate. Pull it off, stick the earth lead of the multimeter onto an earth point on the machine and the probe into that spade. Hold the igintion in the crank position and check that you get 12v at the spade. But if it's clicking, then it's clearly getting a signal here. What's the system voltage? Have you checked ALL terminals? Obviously the the battery terminals, but also the two terminals on the starter motor and where the batter earth strap bolts to the machine chassis.
  4. That's bloody ridiculous. Try RS supplies for a range of microswitches for around a fiver. Probably the same place GreenMech buy them from...
  5. It's all shit. As a business to business service you have no cooling off period. Often the contract will tie you in for X years, or have tricky conditions under which you must cancel a rolling contract (cancel three months in advance but no earlier etc) Unfortunately your options are limited, unless the paperwork that you signed (did you read it?? Take note people, this is how all these lawful scams work) explicitly states that you will not need to quote. What the salesman told you is utterly worthless in a B2B contract. It's what you sign that matters.
  6. Libre Office all the way, especially if you are on Mac. Mac Office 365 is a substandard product that they won't bother to update.
  7. Remember, 95% of fuel problems are electrical. Not on a small carburetted petrol engine they’re not.
  8. Either a dodgy battery or starter or wiring. Possibly a shot rectifier leading to discharged battery. First test is to measure the battery votage or try a jump pack.
  9. Because if people have more income, they will offer more to get their dream home or whatever.
  10. What's nice about the Makita is that you can speed it right up for fine work. Possibly it produces more torque at slower speeds too for thicker stuff- not sure but the brushless grinder have an extra torque mode when you bog them down enough.
  11. All well think theory, but we can be pretty sure most wouldn’t have saved the tax money. And other prices such as property would be even more sky high.
  12. I've got a better idea. Why don't we appoint an umbrella organization (we could call it 'Government') to collect a bit of money from everyone in the country in the good times so that when stuff like this happens they can pay a percentage (maybe 80%) of the wages to see people through? I know, we cou;d call it 'furlough'!
  13. No offence but you must be joking. There’s this thing called furlough, I presume you’ve heard of it? Use it!
  14. I used to use airstreams but they only last a year. I can get three pairs a year of Oregon Yukon from screwfix for the same money and find them very comfortable. I used them as a general work boot, they might be shit for climbing, I wouldn’t know!
  15. My recommendation is, it’s a workshop- use a generator.
  16. Of course it’s genetic. Wankers don’t breed! But seriously. Have a quick read of the free ebook ‘your brain on porn’. It lays bare the effect modern porn has upon men’s dopamine systems. It’s not healthy.
  17. Linked. So 6HP. Double the CFM of one.
  18. I’ve got two 3hp compressors linked together, it’s ok but I wouldn’t want to do too much.
  19. Any sandblasting is slow without a big old diesel compressor.
  20. Most likely he’s self employed
  21. Timber does indeed loose energy as it decays. What species was it?
  22. Can’t read the brand, what does it say?
  23. So what? We don’t NEED to build if we don’t import people! It’s time we put quality of life for natives first. although too fucking late, the Birmingham type will outbreed us.
  24. I bet GreenMech charge enough for one!!! someone should ring them and get a price ? bunch of cheapskate muppets.
