Ordered this to go with the bearing kit I got recently. Fully prepared for a wheel bearing change now

 

[dann2707]

Just arrived. Mega quality!

 

[Clio_fool]

Kinky.

 

[Hxrry]

I'm new to this tool malarky, I wanted a good kit to get me started. It started with just one set and now have a toolbox that's half empty still... But i'm working on sorting that out lol.

[botfch]

Got fucked off with my portable lamps never pointing in the right direction so picked up this bad boy.

 

[Hxrry]

Surprised I didn't buy one of these ages ago!

Make sure you turn it off at night

Don't want that bugger going flat

 

[botfch]

There multiplying…

Also picked up one of the rapid chargers, empty 5ah batteries been on 20mins and it’s already up to 3 lights.

Ordered one of these as I'll be servicing the 335d soon and I don't fancy trying to drain 8 litres on the floor.

Quite pricey at £93 but it's got good reviews!

Will nearly fill that won't it 😅

Why do diesels have such large oil capacity

The Megane has just over 7 litres of oil in the c**t

I mean I suppose it's better than the 12 litres you need in a 4BT 😂 My dads mate learnt very quickly that buying a Euro car parts drum of oil for his defender was cheaper than buying 3 bottles of oil every time 😂

Yeah i remember doing an M9R and thinking where the f**k is all this oil going 😂

 

[Krarl]

It's because they have a lower sump and an upper sump

Xzibit "Yo dawg, I heard you liked sumps so we put a sump on your sump" *folds arm like a gangsta*

Aye, like the E92 M3 with two drain plugs.

I'm not posh enough to work on such luxuries 😂

I'm scared to break friends Clio's, nevermind an M3!

The best I get is to work on an STI. I can tell you they're so f**king easy to do a service on, why other manufacturers don't make it that easy annoys me

The few Jap cars i've touched have all been like that.

Seems they know what they're doing when building cars.

cos the designers aren't complete dickheads, they give half a s**t where things are positioned.

Back on thread, I got these aviation spanners for my birthday a few weeks ago and theyre worth their weight in gold. So much easier than messing about doubling spanners up

Just looking at the size of the 18/19mm compared to the big ugga-fucker

 

[JamesBryan]

The U.S.Pro/Bergen stuff is alright to be fair as well.

I assume that is a US gallon? So about 9 litres? I might get one of these ordered myself. Link?

 

[Paddy_g46]

Any recommendations for cheap but half decent ratchet spanners?

The Halfords ones are decent enough, unless you're after long handle ones.

Nothing specific mate. I just go on ebay and search for the lowest price first and see if it works out better when import fees kick in yo

New knife.

 

[Robbie Corbett]

You mean you’ve never used a knife to unscrew something…?

Made myself a new tool today

@J-J donated some 20mm plate so I could make this

Its heavy enough to where it squashes s**t. After this picture was taken I managed to get another 4 full mower baskets worth of grass in there🤣 So now I can leave that in there for weeks and whilst the foliage is decomposing and it continues to squash it further and further down the bin. I've got a 1 tonne bag full of clippings after removing 3 small shrubs/saplings today.

Saves me getting in the bin and jumping about like a melon
