General Discussion Area / Remember that little water leak...
« on: 22 May 2020, 12:49:27 »
Well, it's just grown legs...
When the house was built, they put a double skin in as the garage ceiling, and being the late '50s/early '60s, they obviously felt that 1/4" asbestos board was the best way to do this.
Fast forward to the early '90s and the garage was shortened to create some more space in the new kitchen extension. Of course, the left the asbestos in place.
Fast forward to now. The garage ceiling needs to be removed, partly because it's asbestos, and partly to ensure that the water hasn't caused further, hidden damage to the joists etc as it had soaked down over time.
Had the news today, that they want to remove ALL the asbestos rather than simply the current garage ceiling, so they now want to remove the end wall in order to get it down where it encroaches into the kitchen. So the kitchen has to be cleared along with the all the plumbing including gas and much of the wiring as it's all in/through that wall.
All to avoid cutting the asbestos at the wall...
Still, at least it's not raining.

Speedo and gearbox both working perfectly, so not an actual abs fault.

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / F/S Pair Of Headlight Level Sensors.
« on: 28 April 2020, 12:22:09 »
As above.
A bit crusty, but otherwise perfectly serviceable (removed working from my '03 Elite estate in 2014 and sat on a shelf since). Front one is a later Vectra replacement with different plug, but both include loom tails and subframe brackets.
£80.00 delivered for the pair.

General Car Chat / Wheel refurbishment thoughts...

The wheels on the Barge are pretty rough... They were originally lacquered/polished, but still nothing special.
They need refurbishing, and thinking of getting the wheel face painted/powder coated with polished rims...
Would body colour be a bad choice? Shall add a poll.
