Just a heads up - CarChem Black Friday deals go live tonight (IIRC)
Banging value. Last year I picked up 5L of 1900:1 shampoo for under £20. For the weekend warrior thats years of shampoo and its good stuff too
as @imprezaworks suggested, Megs Wash + is a great start.
Depending on how 'new'/'fresh' the LSP is, you might want to consider going whole hog and getting Garage Therapy Decon shampoo. Use it, with warm water, in the foam lance, dwell, blast, round 2 if you want, then use the same stuff in...
Ive found that rubbish glass sealants are usually to blame for wiper judder or the wipers failing to clear water well.
As James said above, making the screen 100% clean of any contaminants but also any previous sealants are a great start.
The Glaco Glass Compound is, by far, the easiest way to...
@CrippsCorner
Sorry to hear you're having troubles.
At the moment, that side of things is on hold. I currently have no kitchen so I'm having to prioritise that...🤣
Oh. And I'm in Japan.
Hope you get it sorted :)
Here's one for you chaps
What do we think about this? I've got this lovely vice that has adjustable angle etc. It was given to me by an engineer and I really want to put it to work.
Problem is, the slider is operated back and forward by the larger of the two pieces (threaded) and is held in...
Thanks again for the advice :)
Ill carry on with the stick for the minute and see how I go. I quite fancy building a rack for my spare wheels to sit on - should be a good challenge!
Ill also keep my eyes peeled on FB Marketplace for some second hand ones.
Interesting about the ear comment -...
Thanks for the advice - at this stage its all about learning for me.
I did have a feeling that stick wasnt going to ever be great for car repairs - luckily I dont need to do any car repairs at present. Its more just learning how it works for the minute as a very low cost option. I was gifted...
Well, looking at most of the ranges and considering im very unlikely to need to do any kind of headwork (giggles), its going to be 20nm - 200nm at a push. The highest value ive seen, quickly skimming, is 185nm. So, ill have plenty of headway on that.
I have a large 50(?) to 200 & a teeny 20 -...
Thanks dude!
So supposing I went for the ACDelco ones, they seem great value for money for a digital version which I prefer as as a simpleton - id then need to buy the extra add on bit for angle too? Be handy to have an all in one.
Then again, I really only need torque values as ive just...
I didnt even think of Halford Advanced!
Got a mate with a trade card too which will help im sure. The rest of my tools are by them, so makes sense to continue on with that - plus theyre really good value.
Cheers James!
Morning all!
Torque wrenches....talk to me...
I have a very basic (Sealy?) (read:cheap) torque wrench which ive used for years. Chrome looking thing with the spinning handle to adjust it etc.
With the very strong possibility of some engine building on the horizon, I feel I should get myself...
Maybe we could make something work here. Get CS in the news.
@Touring_Rob you ride down the road really fast - ok?
Then, just wait for this bit........AND THEN @Sunglasses_Ron jumps out from behind a Bush, shouts 'ELLO ELLO ELLO ROBERT. COME ERE THEN SONNY JIM'. (Emphasis on the Cockney bit...
Yes, this.
My rant didnt include this bit, as portrayed wonderfully by Range Rover Rob.
Ive never ridden one, but they sound f**king ballistic. Id love one to get to work on - I have a cycle path that I could use every day. But, I just cant hack all the people stopping me asking for a bag.
These things, along with the rental bikes, just give me anxiety. Not only are you spot on - theyre usually only rented by throbbers or pissheads who cba to walk - but if they hit YOU, its YOU who has to make an insurance claim on your own insurance?!
I could be sat there in stationary traffic...
As per, Chichester traffic was abysmal on bankholiday monday so I was redirected through the town center.
Out of nowhere comes one of those Suron (Siron? Suuron? SIRon?) EBike things that youths who sell substances are notorous for using...
Balaclava, manbag...you get the idea. Well, this guy...
I had one of these for a while over lockdown - I used it a lot with Gran Turismo. Like, a LOT.
As far as sim stuff goes, im led to believe its THE one to have as an entry model. Its got force feedback (f**king strong if you ramp it up too!) and its not too bad. I never got to try some of the...
Ive used plenty of the brushes that @imprezaworks has just linked but, honestly, wheel woolies are my go to.
I bought the Turtlewax set a few months back, theyre just some collab between TW and WheelWoolies but are the same thing, and they were half the price they usually are. f**king awesome...
