    Road planings

    Don’t they ever! I bought a couple of 20 tonne loads last year, used about half and the remaining half got left until I tried to load them a month or so back to fill some potholes - could barely scrape the surface with the loader on my old DB 1390. Neighbour managed to loosen up a bit using his...

    DB 990 getting hot, but radiator is cold?

    Another possibility - OP mentioned in his first post that there was black gunge on the thermostat when he inspected. Could same gunge be fouling the water pump impellor?

    DB 990 getting hot, but radiator is cold?

    You‘ve said previously that you took the the thermostat out and cranked over the engine and water shot out? In my admittedly limited experience that doesn’t sound right, what I’ve seen is you just see a “swirling” of water at the top of the radiator. The fact it does shoot out that suggests...

    DB 990 getting hot, but radiator is cold?

    For heavens sake, as I suggested yesterday, take the water pump of and check that, it’s the most obvious candidate to be causing a problem, discussing it on here isn’t going to get you any closer to sorting.

    DB 990 getting hot, but radiator is cold?

    Immediate question is whether the water pump is working. Personally I’d remove it and check if the impeller is free and if the blades look OK. Alternatively slacken the fan belt and see if you can turn the pump pulley without resistance. if it helps

    Will they just be going for scrap? Surprised you didn’t just cut off and sell on - or is it not worth it?

    £5 coffee

    Absolutely…. I drive over to South `Yorks from here (Shropshire) every few months to see my sister. I always use the M6 toll to avoid getting stuck in a traffic jam on the M6 and usually stop at Norton Cane for a Costa Coffee and a Bakewell tart, probably adds £15 to the cost of the journey...

    Removing green algae from paving slabs?

    Although you said “apart from pressure washing” - I had similar problem outside our back door. Bought a rotating pressure washer attachment for the Nilfisk pressure washer which did an excellent job in cleaning up the paving slabs.

    Case/David brown 1394 Clutch replacement.

    First of all do some research - Google for videos and try to find an online repair manual, or failing that buy one which will guide you on the basics. I have a I&T manual which does a good job on covering the basics - page from relevant section attached below, it’s for the 1390 but doubt there...

    WiFi in old house

    Another vote for powercable extenders, relatively cheap, almost plug and play and no need for extra wiring. This place has thick stone walls and I’ve got three fitted. - two downstairs and one upstairs and WiFi excellent. when I was messing about with a wireless cctv camera in one of the barns...

    Is there a way to re-number spanners?

    Decided to take my own advice and bought a metal marking pen from Amazon - the one I bought was just over £5. Tried it on a spanner - see photo, paint can be scratched off with a thumbnail, but I suspect would last for a reasonable while if spanner just used normally.

    Is there a way to re-number spanners?

    Didn’t read your original post properly. If you just want to write on the spanner, there are paints that will apparently do it. Google “metal marking paints”.
