"Check the simple stuff first"​ too right I once had an electrician work for me 'briefly' he told me the hoist motor on a crane needed to be change, so I decided to go check it out myself which I did a found tow of the three motor fuses blown due to a damaged catenary cable nothing wrong with the motor thankfully !

Hi Ron

Not an expert on injectors sorry and I think most common cause's have been covered e.g. bad joint allowing air in, pipework to small for size of injector etc, I had problems with the injector on my 3" Burrell when I purchased it and was told it was a new injector anyway I sent it off to a guy on Traction Talk Terry Baxter aka 'injector man' Terry had his own company until he sold it making injectors was on of the services he offered any I sent mine of to Terry he said it needed a service although new poorly finished cones not very good I told him to sort he did and I've never looked back maybe it's worth you joining TT and getting in touch with Terry.

Thank you for that

I have seen the screwfix web site and yes it tell you lots of things like the size of the base etc but my question was addressed to someone who might own one what was the size of it's footprint the dimension I'm looking for is if you say pushed it back until it say touched the wall how far forward would it stick out ?

H

Just wondering does anyone have a Titan 700w pillar drill​ if so how do you find it and secondly what is it's footprint ?

Cheers H

Michael to be fair I can't really put my finger on it, maybe unlike you I haven't gotten use to it, I only use it on my phone but maybe if it was on my laptop I might think differently.

Without getting to technical what web browser are members using, I have just rest my laptop and decided not to load so much I was before using Chrome as my main browser but also used IE as Sky go doesn't play with Chrome ! I briefly tried Mozilla but didn't use it that much to form an opinion, so until I make my mind up I'm using Edge so suggestions welcome please.

A friend of mine who is not in good health and unfortunately is selling up the content of his workshop, he as asked me if I would like to buy his milling machine so I asked for details he came back with 'Chester Lux Mill round column metric' does anyone recognise this machine and if so any idea of price

Cheers H

France period

Yes but how long is a piece of string ?

Good table Jason, I have a copy encapsulated in the workshop wouldn't be without it.

Thanks for your post Julian.

Some suggest that you can use brass but you need to replace the fitting regularly, but as Jason said if the bouler is to be tested by a boiler inspector seek his guidance.
