  1. There was a fairly old Unimog, done up and fitted with a Passat engine on tree facebook the other day. If you wanted something with the comfort of a Land Rover but less convenient to get into.
  2. I was thinking about this earlier. Seems the obvious course but people do like their big comfy trucks.
  3. I bet some Aussie type utes have three in the front. Wasn't some vaunted variety of Land Cruiser recently reintroduced here?
  4. It’s not abundantly obvious how it comes apart. Any ideas?
  5. I concur on the king cab matter. Always struck me as the best compromise by miles. Three in the front would be handier still.
  6. Symptom: Light goes on but drill doesn’t turn. Will turn a bit if you start it by hand. Happened a few months ago. Took it apart. It fixed itself. Happened again now. Here’s what I’m looking at. 1. 2. 3. As far as I can tell, the bent tabs in pic 2 that have springs under them press the scalloped carbon things (brushes I assume?) onto the middle turny bit (commutator?), visible through the hole in pic 3. How do I know when a brush needs replacing as opposed to just pressing into the commutator harder? Pressing the back of the tab gets more drill speed. How do I get them out? Did consult YouTube last time. Didn’t find anything very useful. Feel free to direct me to an actually pertinent video. P.S. Haven’t electrocuted myself yet but the night is young.
  7. I hit an owl in the van a couple of years ago. Saw it in a (small) town centre and thought it was a weird place for an owl to be. It set itself on a long collision course with the van. I thought, “That looks weird. But it’s a super sharp predator. It’ll pull off some evasive manoeuvre at the last second.” So I kept going. It didn’t and I picked it out of the roof rack down the road. Wondered for ages what caused it to be so dozy. The town in question is Tow Law btw. 2000 alcoholics clinging to the side of a quite bleak hill. Wouldn’t surprise me if it was on spice.

    ArbDogs? Pics!

    My mate’s got a whippet and border terrier cross. Smashing thing. Chin up.
  10. Send in the WPCs and not one more drop of blood need be spilled.
  11. I've made good ones without it before. A vegan girlfriend made good ones now I think about it. **************** knows what fat she used for them.
  12. I’d be more concerned by the proximity of people tasteless enough to live in the flat roofed Mcshitholes next door.
  13. And they’re crap dumplings. I’m blaming the lard. Must have used butter before.
  14. That looks like a lovely job. Conifers smell fabulous.
  15. Why did my dumpling mix stick to my hands this time? Last time I did them, I was surprised and thrilled that when the mix came on cam, my hands ended up clean. Lard, self raising flour, drop of cold water at the end. Useless photo because so I didn’t slime up my phone in vain.
  16. I do appreciate the effort put into the reply, Gareth but I couldn’t safely believe you if you told me grass was green. I actually have you ignored so I can’t accidentally learn anything dangerously wrong from you. Hoping to hear from Andrew. I should have quoted him.
  17. What’s the brake on a track motor? I always assumed it was a check valve.
  18. Is it a hydraulic motor and then some planetary gears like a truck bumper winch?
  19. Or hang a weight mid line to keep tension on if you have to walk away for any period of time. Aware less convenient than the thing working perfectly but helps with visual check for tension, movement etc. Does it creep faster with more tension on?
  20. Ones of those cable grabs (like on old ish school lanyards) for a little peace of mind until it gets a service?
