  1. You could have it in your signwriting, " Call the professionals, we won't s&!t on your tortoise or p!&& on your washing " [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAn7baRbhx4]The Spanish Inquisition - YouTube[/ame]
  2. I think I mean the big bore kit that the OP mentioned in his post.
  3. Arrow on the piston points to the exhaust port on all the two strokes I've done. Bigger is always better
  4. Keep an eye on the Sycamore, there's a small plantation near us that was varied wood about twenty years ago. It was neglected for a few years and now it's all Sycamore, all the other trees have died off in their shade.
  5. You want to join the caravan and camping club. Spend £41 on a membership (yourself and partner and up to 4 kids under 18) and you will save the cost on your first week on a club site in your caravan or camper or tents. We use a trailer tent. The sites are clean and regulated, no cramming into any available space, no noise after 11 p.m and you get a monthly magazine and a site book plus there are certificated sites and local meets on school playing fields during holidays and some farmers let out fields but you need your own toilet for those meets. We've been on some CS on farm fields for under £5 a night.
  6. So you suspect one of the neighbours ? Most likely to be a crew riding round looking for a vehicle to nick.

    Echo 8000

    Glue it back in with some Tiger Seal PU adhesive, I've used it to repair split rubber manifolds and it's pretty fuel proof.
  8. One of those windy handle desk sharpeners would have chipped it on the way down.
  9. Standard reply is "Yes, as a non refundable deposit" A friend of mine was selling a scooter £1295 with offers and was asked if he'd take £400. He declined the offer and received abusive emails for his trouble.
  10. You are only allowed to store 10 litres of petrol in two separate 5 litre plastic containers or 20 litres in two separate suitable 10 litre metal containers in a domestic situation i.e. a vehicle on the drive or a garage. It's all explained on the HSE site. There are different regulations for work places and home situations.

    Put your location in your profile and people will know that
  12. I stand about 40' away, stand my missus at the bottom of the tree and hold my thumb and forefinger like a gauge to her height then go up the tree with the finger gauge to see roughly how many of her would equal the tree. It would be awkward in a dense wood or forest but it's near enough for my curiosity.
  13. Try linkedin and facebook.
  14. There's a Stihl 088 with a 4' bar in Cambridge on Gumtree. I don't know if it's well priced at £500.
  15. Winds getting up here just now, it's gusting and howling in the chimney.
  16. So you don't get dyslexic women ?
  17. I like that idea as well. (It's Beech though)
  18. It looks like predictive text From Wikipedia:- Ghat As used in many parts of Northern South Asia, the term ghat refers to a series of steps leading down to a body of water, particularly a holy river.
  19. My niece came off her Bonneville and had to be taken to hospital, I rode the bike home with a Mole grip as gear lever. M8 ring spanner for stirring tea, dry cleaners wire coat hanger as gas welding wire on my Escort sill.
  20. Is it an ex-council tool ?
  21. Yes that's it
  22. Sorry that's the T540xp but he has pictures of the 560 mixed in with it.
  23. It's back up again here. It says in Coventry on location but London in his description. He sounds a bright spark.
  24. I did that on an old Escort I had. I used to keep 4 or 5 hanging on the indicator stalk as spares because I couldn't find a clip to replace the lost one. I was giving my mate a lift home from work and when I pressed the accelerator and nothing happened I jumped out and lifted the bonnet. He asked what was wrong and I said "the elastic band's gone, pass me a new one" and he swore at me.
