Valve spring compressor, any idea of collet size and throat dimensions. Seen some with 25 and 30mm collets and throat dimension of 140-160mm any good? :y


I found that one like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-pcs-Car-Motorcycle-Valve-Spring-Compressor-Tool-Bit-Set-UK-SELLER-/261313098765?hash=item3cd779740d:g:RZcAAOSwPcVVhDCN  did a good job.

It's hard to argue with the price.
Cheers for the link Nick, looks good for the price and adaptable :y :y :y

MOT passed. :D

4 advisories for "Vehicle structure has slight corrosion". One for each corner.

Out with the Bilt Hamber stuff soon, methinks.

Covered it over again properly , 4 ratchet straps and about 12 bungee straps should hold it  :) Not even the cats can get underneath it now  ::)

Fitted the heated over seat , now i have heated legs and back together with a control switch for multiple massages  :)

I'm in the market for one for the van... Which did you get and is it any good?

They had them for £10 in ALDI the other day. Nearly bought one for the roller skate, but decided I'd get laughed at. ::)
Crap.... Did they? Looks like I need to try and pop into a few different Aldis then to try and find one ::)
Yep. Certainly looked worth a punt too. :y

https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/thur-19-nov/product-detail/ps/p/heated-car-seat-cushion/

Grabbed one of these... Can't grumble for the price :y

Just to revisit this... Still works. It's taking a lot of abuse as I'm in the van a lot at the moment. Only criticism I have is that there is very little difference between low and high and, much like setting 5 on Facelift seats, can get a bit too hot!

But, for the price, it is a fantastic investment.  :y

Same here, mine is a rim leak on one wheel so without a refurb I'm buggered.  :'( It will stay at the same psi for a few days until the wheel rotation lands on the bad bit and it will drop to around 11psi overnight. I'll have to get it sorted as it's pissing me off keep inflating it.  >:(
I failed my walk-around checks this morning as it was down again and I felt it rather than see it.  ::)

That's when you park it with the passenger door adjacent to your front door, right? :-[
