If you have a 30's house and still use part of the old steel pipe system near the meter it may still have the old town gas water drain, which can pin hole.

All your appliances should have a gas tap so you can isolate them one at a time from your piping.

Doing much else involves breaking the rules.

These days all fat is removed, then put back in measured amounts - stops all that free cream escaping.

I wonder what it's like to shower under a 10 bar pump.

Just because it says Caravan Camping Boat doesn't mean it's really suitable.

It does indeed date back to the days of clockwork, however you could drop out the receiving end AC9 relay set on trunk calls if you could whistle exactly 2280hz

And we all know America doesn't have State sales taxes

What about the other end of the motor ?

There's a type of older motor that uses brushes to start which can be reversed by rotating the brush carrier, no cap involved. So if they come loose........

I thought the standard answer to a post with the words 'parting' and 'problem' in it was to fit a rear upside down tool post, especially with all those empty T slots.

Are you using the reverser switch for the on/off as well?

It's very easy to arc the contacts if you do, which deposits metal nearby and gives you a earth leakage issue.

20dp 20pa gears are used on Minnie, which is a 1" to the foot model, now they don't have to be 20pa, the pa was chosen due to the availability of gears off the shelf. It would however look wrong if 16dp had been used.

Don't forget that what ever your chosen dividing system is there will be various numbers of teeth which cannot be derived. There are tables on the web that show the gaps check with more than one table and dry run the teeth with a felt tip before cutting to spot any errors. It's tedious and slow, but avoids later disappointment.

If a model needs a 2:1 ratio for timing etc you can't change the ratio, if it's to a winding drum or wheels etc then it doesn't really matter and 2 and bit :1 will be OK.

Your washing machine will go off at the same time as your lights.

i deny there's a climate,

Since the spate of white goods fires a while back we don't run them unattended by a conscious human nose.

A QCTP is good for HSS, otherwise a matched set of insert holders give only one shim to make for all three in the existing 4 way. The speed advantage is therefore irrelevant and the height adjustment for HSS is the only thing left worth having.

Thankyou Howard

Considering we recently (before our dry spell) had someone who had a leaking and therefore wet shed roof who reading between the lines thought putting new felt over a wet roof would be OK. and fix his rust problem. The article was probably timely given the damage that will go un-noticed over the coming cold months.

Does anyone have any interest in the contents of the attached photo and perhaps hazard a guess as to the purpose of them?

Take the seal out make a note of the bearing number engraved on it and ask for a seal for that number.

People fail to understand that a MT drawbar doesn't need to be cranked up to 70ftlb.

The dealer sent his mate the first time, it's a known trick car dealers play on private sales.

Fractionally off topic, but still stupid pricing this wonderful ahem 'Body' has been on for that price for at least 2 years or more. Being a private listing you can't view the revisions to see the original start date.

You have this sold Boxford with noticeable bed wear near the serial number, I think the £90 delivery clinches deals like this, few seem to be prepared to do local pickup.

There's a state of mind out there that says, more expensive so must be worth it otherwise some of the inflated prices would not the paid

Looks like cars that last 15 years have killed of the old panel suppliers.

yes and no

My GP is now a multiple partnership of 5 practises, the phone system is a joke and GP's were effectively privatised when they were given their own budgets to spend on treatment.

We now have several pay for treatment GP's poping up in high St retail units. These Dr must have left proper practises to set up private thus creating their own 'shortage' and desperate customers.

Nice.

Where do you expect it to go? The only was out is down into the 'work' when it will loose drive and absolutely ruin a piece of old scrap.

The Great was put into Great Britain when we were the biggest pollutant on the planet, the Black Country was proudly very black, as was the Thames for a different reason, we sent children down mines and up chimneys.

They will only follow if the money does just like they always have.
