  1. Thought this was decent for the money in Halfords, £22 for a little (light duty) 3 drawer tool chest Halfords 3 Drawer Metal Portable Tool Chest | Halfords UK WWW.HALFORDS.COM Shop the latest The Halfords 3 Drawer Metal Portable Tool Chest is perfect for the DIY enthusiast. at Halfords UK
  2. They're trying to stop that, they apparently check the messages for contact details. Obviously one way as a seller is have your phone number in the photos, so long as someone else doesn't report the listing
  3. Seems since the changes now the buyer HAS to pay in advance? And you will need that code to work to get your money?
  4. Turns out as of 1st October buying & selling items on ebay, for cash on collection, is no more. All payments now have to go through ebay. There may be an exemption for vehicles, certainly for vehicle classified ads. As a buyer you have to make the payment in advance, before you've seen the item. The payment goes to ebay. As a seller, you have to release the item before you've been paid, you need to get a "collection code" off the buyer, and then at some point ebay will (maybe!) release the funds to you. The buyer may be able to make a claim and use the money back guarantee to get a refund. You can't (easily) exchange contact details before the sale has gone through, ebay monitor messages, and apparently they will ban you if you get caught. I was trying to buy a couple of items off a local seller this weekend, in the end we got him to make another listing for a small item for £1 for collection only, then end the auction early to sell to me, I pay the £1, then get his contact details so I can go round his house and buy the other stuff. I've been on ebay since I was a teenager, over 20 years ago, bought and sold items for local collection all over the uk, shame they seem to be killing this off
  5. It's when the vehicle won't start so will need towed away on a truck, they're desperately trying to flog it for half the value it would be worth, and they say "only needs a new sensor, very quick fix for someone, I just don't have the time" AYE RIGHT!
  6. Free heat, whack it on! Sine they changed the recycling bins here to a separate bin (every 3 weeks) for paper and card, I've never once put that bin out. All paper and card is either burnt on the stove or composted (or used as weed suppressant).
  7. You have to live next door to this guy for years to come, don't get involved in any petty arguments, it's not worth it. Go round and knock his door, with a bottle of wine in hand. Say "Hi, I'm Jason, your new neighbour. There seems to have been a bit of an misunderstanding on my part, and I realise now how much of an inconvenience that acer must have been. My wife makes a mean lamb rogan josh, would you like to come over for dinner this Saturday, as a way of us apologising to you?" Then when he comes over, chuck a few yew berries in his curry. I reckon 4-6 should shut the bastard up for good.
  8. Pilot hole with a pinch bar then drive the posts in. You can get more force with a mell (big hammer) than a 2 handed post knocker but on 8ft posts you would need to be on quite a high step to reach. (feet about 2/3ft off the ground) If you've not used a mell before, you really need to practice first to not make a pigs ear of the top of the post Using the 2 handed post knocker above shoulder height I would recommend wearing a hard hat. I had one come off the top of an 8ft post once and hit me on the head, that was a really bad day
  9. I don't really follow it all, but I think the idea with that line is to take passengers and freight without having to go via london East West Rail - Network Rail WWW.NETWORKRAIL.CO.UK The East West Rail scheme will re-establish a rail link between Cambridge and Oxford, making travel across Britain easier.
  10. Plastic trailer tool box? ie Daken Plastic Toolboxes Archives - Thompsons E Parts WWW.THOMPSONSEPARTS.CO.UK Thompsons eParts stocks a wide range of Daken toolboxes, Daken is a world leader in production and distribution of plastic accessories for commercial vehicles.

  11. Scrapyards are probably full of tipper hydraulic motors on rotten bodies. I gave away a full kit of ram hoses pump etc, it was working fine
  12. 2nd hand lighting tower, this one apparently 10kva, 240v, kubota engine, plenty on ebay for a similar price? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256681307921
  13. Currently road tax (Vehicle Excise Duty) is based vaguely on emissions, but it has quirks where the same vehicle registered in different years have different rates. What about if it was based on gross vehicle weight, say £100/tonne? Then you could collect some tax from electric vehicles, but a big tesla is going to cost more than a citreon ami
