Had to put a new AUX battery on the Merc
Horrible screw connections, quite fiddly

even access to the aux battery on my Merc is 'quite fiddly' .... I can see a terminal if I remove the cover from the back of my tail light

This is very accessible in the cavernous spare wheel well, with the exception of the fiddly terminals - You have to hold a nut up under the 'arched' terminal while you bolt the cables to it.

They are Hawk's Same plane as Red's but proper military use / training rather than display, we have them frequently here.

RAF pilots tend to start in Texan's around here (based at Valley), then move to the Hawks.

When they all return I want to use the charity car wash that Jimbob went to.

We still talk about that! One day it may return, hope the girls have aged well

Used my new Nilfisk today.

WOW.
Never heard such a quiet pressure washer and massively more powerful than the old K2 too.
Did a very good job on everything I pointed it at. Seems well designed, long cable and long hose and plenty of attachments too.
Very heavy too, feels a quality bit of kit.

I wonder if different areas are taking different approaches?

Ive received 2 full forms (1 in English (H2), 1 in Welsh(H2W)) and it says I can do it on paper or online, no preference remarks either way?
