+1 on what Andrew said.

Those pipes around the radiator appear to be plastic, and is that a plastic drain-cock on the rad or just corroded brass or ali? Probably something early modified into a 'special' later on, I would guess. Some blue plastic-covered cable there too.

David - our Peugeot 504 also had a torque tube

Hi Nigel

As I mentioned back in September, you have to download the example files and extract them to a convenient place where you know where they are. Assuming you are looking for Sketch_A, you'll find it here.

I watched this yesterday - very therapeutic! Although, to be a bit (very!) nit-picking, the chamfers on the three big holes were ever so slightly different distances from the screw heads.

Rob

Nails? I'd have a word (or three) with whoever installed it!

Derek - I can heartily recommend the EPDM (rubber) roofing membrane, I've done a few flat roofs with it now, and it's far better than felt in my opinion. More expensive, though, but re-roofing isn't something you want to redo very often.

" The smaller diameter the worse taper becomes " - sounds more like workpiece deflection to me?

Rob

Very interesting, thanks. I was in the Mamod camp too.

What did the Spanish fireman call his two sons?

Still have an Apricot Qi that works!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!

+1 on what Bill says - if you can get other sounds, it's unlikely to be anything major like a hardware issue, or software controlling system sounds. But the other question to be asked is - has it ever worked on that PC before?

Rob

Had a few over the past week, supposedly from numbers with a local area code. The recorded message states that my Amazon Prime subscription has expired and that I have been charged £95 for renewal. Options of pressing 1 or 2 for further information (which of course I didn't).

Rob

Something I noted today, as the rear hatch of my car closed onto my head, is that they ain't as powerful in very cold weather.

Rob

I quite enjoyed the film, too, Rod.

I've found that, if ou click on the 'More "For Sale" Ads...' or 'More "Wanted" Ads...' links at the bottom of each section, you get to see the up-to-date lists.

Not ideal, but a workaround.

It would seem that the "Workshop" materials advert which appears at the top of the side panel adverts and has been awaiting moderation for weeks may be blocking something?

Rob

July 31st according to the Mirror (won't bother with a link)

Rob

Gosh, I had (still have, somewhere) one of those RS cordless irons. Burned a hole through a jacket, carrying it in the pocket

Rob

+1 on what Baz and others have said - I've seen rust starting within minutes on freshly blasted parts.

Rob

I know this isn't going to help much, but I had one of those garages at a previous house and it was the worst thing I've come across for stuff rusting.

Possibly making an insulated ceiling and insulating the walls may help a bit, in effect creating an insulated inner box that you can heat / de-humidify more easily.
