Power washers ..... dangerous things when in the hands of the old boy.
Thought I would give the glycol snap chiller radiators a blast. Thought they were coming up lovely... all brassy and shiney.
Turns out I was folding all the fins flat.

Guess who's spending hours with a radiator comb?

Still, getting there

Yesterday I was asked to go and collect a couple of items from the last Brightwells sale, an Ifor flatbed and a front weight. I looked at the items on the website pictures and saw that the rear wheel on the Ifor looked a little soft so took a pump with me.
When I got to the trailer there looked like a flap of rubber sticking out of the sidewall, great, got closer and there's no bloody tyre at all at the bottom!

Remedy, Jack the axle up and chain it up to keep it off the floor. No good putting another wheel on as the whole hub on that wheel was seized solid.

Then the half tonne weight turned out to be 900kgs, never mind, in the front of the trailer it kept the back up off the ground ;)
