General Discussion Area / The Law of Sod
« on: 03 June 2018, 17:35:58 »
A month or so ago we bought a new kitchen sink & tap ..... that in itself turned out to be a saga.
Anyway, today, against my better judgement, despite it cracking the flags up here, I set about removing the old sink, out dish washer to remove the clamps under the sink, out waste pipes etc
Opened the box for the new composite sink to find the b'stard was broken ...... looked like it'd been in a debate with Sammy Sledgehammer.
New sink on order & had to refit the old sink.
Lesson learned ..... inspect new part before removing old one. Thing is, that's something I would ALWAYS do at work ..... so why didn't I do it at home?

General Car Chat / Windscreen polishing
« on: 27 May 2018, 22:34:23 »
The screen of my R Class has 100k miles & 10 years worth of loads of marks made more noticeable in bright sun. Has anyone ever had a screen polished? Did it work?
Windscreen do get replaced due to chips etc but so far ..... mine's otherwise intact, plus I've heard tales of woe when trying to get auto lights & wipers sorted after replacement so am reluctant to replace it unless necessary.

General Car Chat / Price of pattern parts
« on: 17 April 2018, 18:47:02 »
My daughter's Seicento failed its MOT on a bottom ball joint ('failed' was an understatement really .... it was Donald Ducked)
Phone the motorfactor for a new one to be told that they only come complete with the radius arm ..... here we go I thought. How much?
How can they produce & make any kind of profit when it comes complete with both bushes & costs just £22?

Who knew there was a Ford 650? 
I've seen a wide bodied, crew cab F350 which was pretty big ...... but the F650 is ****ing massive

..... last night while in my Fortwo Smart by a Land Rover Sport. Though I've yet to get under & have a proper look, my Smart seems unscathed. His MOT ran out 2 Jan 2018, do I give hi me the benefit of the doubt?
