General Discussion Area / Jack
« on: 21 September 2007, 08:00:49 »
Looking to replace my Makro special £10 jack, which doesnt even really lift the car enough to change a wheel.

CPC emailes me this one, which got me thinking...

Machine mart also do it, but a bit dearer

Now thats a hell of a lot of jacks, have I picked the right one? or what would you recommend, dont want to spend a fortune.
Im not planning on doing a lot with it, just for basic maintanance.

Also gonna get some axle stands when I am at it, I remember talk of some fit well, some dont, was thinking of these, comments?

General Discussion Area / Bloody mice again
« on: 14 September 2007, 13:52:18 »
Just had a call from the Mrs, overnight mice have totally destroyed the contents of a kitchen cupboard.

All packet stuff and all the baby food :(

Thought I'd got rid of em all but they are back.

Traps out again, and try and mouse proof the cupboard.

Gonna research these electronic gizmo ones as well, but as we have other pets not sure of their suitability
(Aquarium and a cat in the house, Gineau pigs and a pond outside.)

General Discussion Area / Project Insurance
« on: 11 September 2007, 12:10:13 »
What do you lot do with regards to insuring project cars?
 
Use dayinsure for when it needs moving?
Insure as another car in your family?
dont bother (but then what about test drives etc?)
Trade insurance (don't know how that works)
 
Cheers
 
I may just be tempted for a car to fix to learn on, that I can leave as I don't need it day to day.

General Discussion Area / Bargain of the day
« on: 10 August 2007, 07:45:13 »
Got myself a 320L roof box yesterday from Makro, £39.99+VAT down from £100+

Well pleased, been keeping an eye out for a bit, but not wanted to pay the £150 odd they generally seem to cost.

They had about 6 left (on show) at the Chester Makro if anyone is interested.

General Discussion Area / HUGE public thanks to Marks DTM
« on: 09 August 2007, 07:52:01 »
Picked my car up from Mark last night,
He has finished fixing my coolant leak which turned out to be a much bigger job than expected.
Also fixed many other issues, see the Jimbobs coolant leak thread for details.
Also thanks to all else involved, ie TheBoy for tech2, Matchless for the aircon, Ron for the new camcovers and anyone else I've missed.

Drove the car the 100 miles home, erm...erratic driving style ;)  and averaged 61mph, with a consumption of 25.5
that is a good few mph faster, aircon also on, and STILL a good few mpg more than I managed going.
Car is also a lot smoother and quieter :)   Beautiful to drive again.

Checked the levels when I got to work this morning, and not a drop of coolant down, slight smoking from passenger side camcover, which will probably disappear in a few hundred miles.

Cant thank Mark enough for this, been without proper transport for a very long time now  :y

 :D

Cheers!
Jimbob.
