Amazingly....absolutely none! Except one item, which was (blimey, this is embarrassing) completely unnecessary. It was one of those generation of washing machines that had both a cold and hot supply connection. The component in question was the internal solenoid on the hot side. For the crassest...

Does he mind? :giggle: I still have a 1982 Phillips washing machine in regular use. :cool:

When I sold my motor a couple of years back and following the buyer's commitment to purchase, I was able to arrange for the two of us to pop into my local building society. Here he handed the cash payment to myself who immediately passed this to the cashier- it then being the problem of the BS...

Perhaps they just cannot be arsed to get the thing MOTd. Or maybe they are anarchists who believe the chancellor can go and do one .

Never knew any mobility scooters could legally go on the road. But it would appear that Class lll type scooters can actually access dual carriageways albeit with flashing light. Jesus, who'd a thunk it? :rolleyes: Where to drive: You can't drive a class 3 mobility scooter on motorways, bus...

I bloody do. Pretty essential if you are to undertake maintenance of any kind, I would have thought. Keeps the vehicle in better shape, surely? Well, as a sad old bαstαrd, I believe it does if you own a vehicle a couple of decades old. Storing power tools is no problem. Mine is a double garage...

...and he should be doing those in prison! :evil:

Is that the same old diesel which has spent so much time on the 2 post lift, going up and down like a tart's tights? :giggle: On the issue of depreciation, whilst it sounds horrendous, is it much different from any of the ICE equivalents that Ingolstadt churn out? As he says, just about all...

Well finally, it would look as if there has been a positive development for all the Ecoboosters out there. ;) About time too, I say.

I have never undertaken this type of replacement myself, but perhaps a new shaft is not that drastic. If you can go by this Scotty Kilmer video (starts around 7m 35s) it would appear that in the US the usual remedy to CV problems - either joint wear or knackered gaiter - is to replace the whole...

A rather inciteful radio programme here that goes some way to explaining how the Thames Water shıtfest gets away with it. If you thought that that noble body of men and women called Offwat were there to represent the interests of the customer then think again.

That looks excellent! But there is a veg that I cannot recognise - I've clocked the toms, the onions, the lemon/limes and the courgettes. I stand corrected: they are peppers, of course (what a dimwit). But did you do the salmon in the oven with the veggies? Were they just baked or grilled? Did...

Why not just take the vehicle er, I mean the panels to a decent bodyshop? Think of the bother you will save: avoid ****poor outcome, avoid getting paint all over the garage, avoid asphyxiating yourself. Think of the loss the latter would be to this forum? The posters here would be in mourning...

Wow. This would appear a wild over-reaction to my comment. Of course the area shown is not Bristol. In fact, as the super-sleuth that you clearly are, you have managed to pin-point the precise location. Well done, you. To develop the point, the first three photos depict chargers that were...

So they don't have these in Bristol, then? ...or these ...or these ...or these
