Outstanding work from the 22KW charger 🤦 Time to head to a rapid to be let down there 🙄
Doesn't look too big in the picture, does it? There's nothing to give much scale in the picture. We did collect it yesterday afternoon. It dragged the two blokes who were selling it across their garden to the trailer. Those wheels have 22" tyres on them. It's huge and moderately terrifying.
This is the partner machine to the two wheeled plough. It's a Howard Gem, which would have been a market gardener's prized tool back in the 60s and 70s
I'm collecting this with a mate who has bought it later today. The excitement is real. It's a two wheeled plough which apparently runs. It may even 'do it all day' @smithandsniff.bsky.social
Just saw the press photos of VW's revised ID3 'Neo' and - although I'm sure they're selectable - just look at those dashboard graphics! Now that's mining your heritage in a cool way
Tonight I have done work for which I am not qualified. Anyone who knows me will know I am not a fan of 'trim' This is definitely trim. It has been recovered. There are issues around the sun visor apertures
Meanwhile, in the worst timeline possible, the current president of the United States of America has made comment on the passing of an ex federal employee.
Yes, that - it's specifically to extract diesel injectors from modern engines. 50% success rate on this Renault Trafic, until the Chinesium nature of the air inlet pipe fitting overcame it.
This evening 50% of the injectors were extracted. Hurrah! Great tool for £65!
Hey @quietriotpod.bsky.social @pimlicat.bsky.social @sturdyalex.bsky.social is there any way of stopping me having to confirm payment every month? I subscribe to other creators, on other platforms and the payment just goes out every month? 🤷
Sun's out, so it's time for new designer sunglasses. The designer is DeWalt They're also safety glasses One pair were £5, the other were £8 Just as good as any other sunglasses
A rummage through my workshop litter and this looks like the likely shape of a slide hammer tool, to give them a bit of aggro tomorrow
Injector clamp bolts successfully removed after the top of the engine has been marinated in penetrant and ATF. No sign of movement from the injectors, so they're soaking for another night
The scuttle panel leaks water into the top of the engine, which furs up the connectors and corrodes the injectors into the head
This week I have been finding out about falling injectors in Renault Trafic/Vauxhall Vivaro
Never live and have a business at the same location. Lenders cannot compute that. We have an 'agricultural' mortgage from a lender who was happy to lend on the basis of the land value in 2019. This application was supported by a business plan. We've executed the plan, they won't let us remortgage
The cat has learned the new robot vacuum will steer around it, so it just lay here and made the robot navigate around it. Such a dick
Oi! Dron! No! A fireplace is ok and welcome in a beautiful National Trust holiday cottage, but not in a Mercedes electric car! People think they catch light already, without a fireplace in them!
Whole day pruning apple trees. I did three trees. They were bloody monsters!
If my phone could speak, at this point, it would be howling 'kill me, kill me now!' It ingested rather too much water on Sunday whilst I was playing my part in running the IOW Tarmac Rally
The face you pull when the public are curling an unexpected one out in your breakfast toilet bowl.
The commentator just described a measuring device used in the competition as a 'contraption'. These people probably play Guyball in the summer, don't they?
My starter this evening appeared to have been served in a spaniel bowl. It made accessing the arancini starter very, very difficult!
