  2. You should thank the postman for that
  3. Always worth a look round before you take it to a shop. I'd get a new clip ready for it in cast that one is weak or sprained.
  4. It's probably less than she paid for her last car service.

  6. Chocolate coating with us on the magnum I think.
  7. Sounds like clutch trouble initially. Can you pull it over with the brake on ?
  8. I had it with my 135 when I first got it. I used some wet and dry to open it out and oiled it which cured it for good.
  9. It's to balance the weld holding the bar together
  10. He bought it off his dad for £60 more than it cost on eBay and gave his dad the Echo back, how do you work this out ? It's going to cost him to get rid of the tool free tensioner as well.
  11. Do you need to replace the tensioner as well for one with screw head instead of the wheel thing and buy the nut to hold the cover.
  12. When my niece was little she used to make up little songs and sing them all day. The one that always sticks in my head over 30 years later is "I've never seen a chicken in a dustbin lorry" just repeated over and over.
  13. I'd make the hole bigger to get at the wire and reinforce the connection then put something back over the top, I hate "sealed for life" stuff. In the words of Douglas Adams The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at and repair.

    Subsidence

    My brother in law bought for cash a house with subsidence and got it for a song. He had a problem with the neighbours trees, a row of 6 40ft Leylandii 4ft from the gable end. He asked about paying to remove them himself and they said they they wanted some ridiculous figure in compensation for the loss of the trees so he went to the council and a solicitor and in the end the neighbours had to foot the bill for the removal. He had the gable underpinned and had no problem getting insurance or selling when he moved.
  16. Or are they far away ? [ame] [/ame]

    Sat Nav

    I bought a tomtom start 25 with free updates from Argos last week. Not got traffic updates but it has lane assist. My old one was way out of date and tried to take us through pedestrian precincts and missed new slip roads so it has been pensioned off. It tried to take us through an estate but there were pop up bollards on two of the roads to only allow buses.
  25. They all seem to go in similar spot.
