i,m a brickie by trade, but i did literally 1000 sq mtrs during the 90,s when the Berlin wall came down. ( bus stations , lorry parks etc ) and i agree its all about the prep. wacker plate heavier the better a good tip is stand on the finished screed - you should not leave a footprint , also wet sand is no good.

a pal of mine was looking to replace an engine in a zafira. he contacted various breakers before obtaining one. One in particular situated 10 miles east of york (used to be simpson bros) U-Pull-It has about 600+ makes & models.  the idea is you buy the complete motor , and then have a day to strip the parts. because of H&S regs engines & gearboxes has to be removed by the breakers staff & there is an extra charge for this . eg - miggys 3@ £285  1@ £200 . apparently its an american firm looking to make inroads into the UK. find them at www.upullit.co.uk. it would be interesting to see if other oofers think this idea will catch on. :-/ :-/
