Buy Irish sausages and bacon, far better altogether :)

It's a buying/selling outside of your customs zone thing. Many UK sellers are not setup for exporting to a different customs zone. They should not charge VAT for good being exported out of the UK, but it's a tiny proportion of their sales and the paperwork is a hassle so they don't bother and...

As I understand you want to put in the adapter plate and keep your current spool on top of it? Yeah, that's fine, it's exactly how the plate works. I still tip a trailer or run the log splitter off the old three way valve on top of the adapter plate.

My garage here is lined with ply painted with cheap masonry paint, worked a treat. my only advice would be to seal the nail/screw heads with a lick of oil based gloss before you start so that they don't rust stain through the emulsion.

Evaporust and Deox are I think primarily citric acid. I've a tub of deox that'll last me a long time but when it goes I'm going to try some citric acid.

Looks like something you could do with a universal bender...

Plumbed right sediment shouldn't be an issue. Direct the incoming water into a corner so it runs down the walls not splashing in from above. Take your outlet from a few inches up. Unless you're drawing from the tank when it's low and it's just rained really heavily then sediment should settle...

I don't know if the rakeman is still available to order. the man making them passed away a few months back.

A small ferguson, simple to work on, excellent parts availability and knowledge available. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115183308684?hash=item1ad175cf8c%3Ag%3AvtkAAOSwAvVh3ItK&LH_ItemCondition=3000

not that it really matters bkg but OLF is not far from him at all, less than 50 miles as the crow flies.

That's the key. Tesla are great for generating interest ahead of availability, sometimes that works out for them, sometimes it doesn't. So far signs are not promising for the solar roof. Velux were doing solar panels a few years back, don't know if they still are, they were definitely a...

Could anyone here message the admins on the dbtc forum and ask them to approve my registration (same username). Could use some specialist knowledge and I don't do Facebook

Picked up this 880 implematic at the start of December. It's very original, some period mods, only two owners before myself. Doesn't need much doing, rewiring it, water pump and the front axle needs rebuilding after a life loading dung
