It was upside down, because I’d compressed it so much it just dropped in lovely the other way haha! what a spaz!

Think I’m gonna strip it and retest the other way, this just doesn’t feel right. Just wants to sit like this. can’t be this has defeated me!

Surely the spring is just going to slip over the top mount when I loosen. It’s there should be a ring with 10 mm a side diameter to hold it on!

Managed to get it compressed, stuck some rubber pads on the clamps to stop it slipping. I haven’t fully tightened / uncompressed yet. I’ve never done this, only ever fitted coilovers but does this seem right, I expected a perfect fit at the top of the shock. I can move it so it’s perfect bet ur...

Yeah, it’s crazy you’d think it would be easy. If I was at work I’d just mill some brackets up that sit at the angle, but trying to not drive all the way there and back!

The first pic they were quite level u til the right clamp jus slid round to the left 😂 going to give it one last go in the morning.

Tried that pal, same result, the angle just seems massive on the springs. might have to see if any garage can Chuck it on for some cash tomoz

Not sure if this is the right place but the coil spring snapped on our lasses fiesta, I’ve stripped it all, bought some coil springs but how the f**k do I use them safely, the springs are on such an angle the compressors just spin to one side etc. many tips?

Fitted a few sports cats and always passed MOT, I thought that’s what a sports cat was for? Otherwise you’d just get a decat.

I bought a blower / sucker a few weeks ago. took it back as it was w**k, I bought a leaf rake for like £30 from B and Q and its amazing, doesnt hurt your back and takes a few minutes to clear a 10m x 8m lawn with a full wheely bin full of leaves! Honestly get a rake!

Yeh is that the Mcallister one? It looked to only be 8ft in b and q. milwaukee do do one, but you have to buy a garden tool thing first, I could make it work as I need a strimmer as my cheap flymo packed in. really don’t wanna drop 350 on a pole say / strimmer tho! I also need a leaf sucker!

Think I’m going to buy a cheap electric pole saw to trim the tree in our garden. Any suggestions? I was just looking at Amazon 100 quid ones!

It did look a right sod, these little pieces of steel look like they should move over to allow the clutch to push all the way over. That isn’t happening though. Thanks for your help by the way, bolted the top part back together before doing any damage 😳

It’s defo a clutch issue. think I need to try and remove this plate to give me more visibility.

Thanks, just on lunch at the min then I’ll have another look

I’m thinking these are the clutch plates and one has broken up? The shiny bit looks like a damaged plate.

I can’t see anything obvious, where are you based? Anywhere near Rotherham. the clutch isn’t engaging fully. First picture is engaged in reverse, which works fine. Second picture show it not full engaged going forward.

Is this the panel you meant? Trying to have a look at it now as it’s losing its speed with every cut

Sorry hadn’t seen your replies, I will have a look at this as soon as I get the chance! Thank you

Is that what you do restore lathes? I have an issue with mine so might throw a question or two in here if that’s ok 😂 hopefully will start stripping mine later, but basically it’s a holbrook lathe and to operate you lift the handle for forward and push it down for reverse. Now it has a mind of...

Looks great, needs labels though!!

The DTI is meant to be pressing on the steel 🤪

In the summer months I’m using 400-500kw of gas, that’s keeping the water warm and all the cooking on the gas cooker, no heating has been on etc. I guess all I can do is set the timer and compare but it’s a bigger as heating will be going on in October.

I’ve been thinking about this, this morning. With me leaving mine on 24/7 could that be more economical than having it set to kick in twice a day? mid i kicks in for 10 mins a few times a day to maintain the Temperature vs letting the temp drop for 20 hours then taking an hour to heat it up etc?

Roll that’s exactly as I thought it would work. If I set timers will it just warm the water at the time I put in. I guess I need to turn it off and then do a test of how long it takes to warm it up so I know when to program it. I did say 3 plus gas but should have said 4 really 😂👍 I assume it’s...

The small cylinder has one pipe that I can see yes. The water pressure is insane, I can literally fill a full bath if 5 mins

Hi guys, just after a bit of advice about my boiler before so get a plumber I. To try and explain things. I just want to know how it all works, I can use the control panel to set the time and date etc for heating but how is the boiler heating the water? Or isn’t it. Here are a few pics of my set...

My 7 year old ultra gamer and pc geek wants me to set him up a channel buy him a new pc to make videos on the games he plays. I think literally every kid wants to be a YouTuber nowadays!

Just got an iPhone 13, the camera is great for portrait shots or close up. I find it so annoying that the zoom on iPhones is absolutely w**k though.

Buy him a cheap shitter 100% A 107 ain’t even a shitter and will be miles cheaper to fix than type r, plus he won’t look like a chav 🤪👍
