so what – happens- when the compression is low- do all cylinders wear at the same time or is there usually one thats worse?
Im worried about breaking a glow plug trying to do a proper compression test. Is there much chance of doing that? Im not too bad with mechanics

he got a new car as he had this one a long time and 1)he can afford it and b)there is always a chance that it wont last forever. but it is a nice car, all the options

RNP-
how do you measure the glove test? is it just by experience?
no mayonnaise
if its excess blowby, will the vcds compression test confirm it?

‘EGR cooler or DPF or clutch or injectors’- thats not an issue

250k miles and a better price than anything similar i could see on ebay

Whats the clutch life on the older Superb 2.0tdi?
A neighbour has an 11plate on 200k and says he hasnt had to replace it yet

URGE helmets with a large discount on sport pursuit. Some rapha stuff on there too, i dont know about their prices

almost did mine too. since the piston is ceramic i didnt know if i could push it back in with a tyre lever.
also i dont know if i can use copperslip on it ( to stop the squeaking)

its cast magnesium alloy so cant be tig welded?

any simple recipes please?
loads at a local spot today
so I filled a bag, and another with st george’s mushrooms

i like silk but there is thai silk and chinese silk, and different weights
I prefer chinese silk for sleep
id suggest a thinner cotton tshirt, or maybe synthetic top that your comfortable with

ive been looking at pixel 5a and 6, mostly for the battery life and camera.Consequently very wary of refurbished ones on amazon etc with maybe80% battery left
Also the Nothing 2a
Is the pixel 6a battery really good?
my old samsung battery is down to 67% capacity which =2000mAh, and is no good for a day in the mountains

saw one today on Lyn Idwal by Ogwen, snowdonia today, and another higher up

I got it after 20mins every time, but more recently focused on relaxing my feet constantly in the water, rather than flapping them around, and was able to swim 2 miles for the first time ever. I find if i use my feet suddenly, to overtake someone, the cramp sets in very quickly, and also pushing off the wall.

couldnt get a photo of it in northants(or see it)
how many seconds exposure would you use?

Hi Count zero,
I thought i saw a lone one yesterday in northants.
i have been looking in the usual spots but no signs of any there

you can probably get a Osprey Rook 65 for £90
I got the trailhead but havent used it yet
those were the top 2 on my shortlist

at leasty im not the only one that made that mistake

lots of Patagonia gear on sale here

they dont allow wild camping…

looks like i have another mega-thanks for the headsup

all it takes is one idiot, or someone overly sensitive to such meds, to mess it up for everybody else?
come on, what kind of world are we living in/with?
GPs are saying they cant prescribe non-benzos because theyre addictive, ranitidine got taken away,castor oil?
Theyll ban peanuts next as someone was allergic
Why should we stand for that nanny state nonsense?
Isnt alcohol related stuff still the biggest cost to the nhs, days off work etc?
Mostly we cant even get an appointment these days
Theres warnings on everything, arent we allowed to think for ourselves?

Dead Bull!
Seriously, Carabao is another Thai Energy Drink thats appearing over here
Carabao is a kind of bull, and also the biggest thai rockband
Their logo is a bulls skull

i could be wrong, but try tipping your head back just before splashdown

i get foot cramp swimming, and leg cramp trying to put my socks on in bed in the morning, so interested to know why and how to fix it. its not anything obvious like salts

your cortisol levels are highest about 6am, so if you have a coffee then you will only get more excited, and the crash will be bigger.
Im trying waiting till 10am or noon, when the cortisol levels start sinking,to have a coffee.
Like the OP, im hoping to improve sleep

salomon ultra, or merrell MQM seem a good choice for that now

i was in gooutdoors (peterborough) today, and they had 3 racks of sale stuff, some Fox Ranger jackets(£75), trousers and shirts with good reductions. Maybe a branch near you is worth checking out

try some thinner metal, 2or3mm, to start, dial in the settings there,improve technique, before doing thicker stuff.
chamfer the edges on thicker steel for better penetration

my shower is a Mira advance with only gravity fed cold water feed

I’ll look at mine, its the same.
Ive attached the hot water tap to the shower hose so i get a good shower now. Had to turn the cold inlet down,and it always beeps but mostly a great shower now. The drain pump is way too noisy though
But security cameras- i have one to monitor wildlife in the garden-ie the blackbird- but rain sets it off every 2 minutes, it only record twice in daylight, and still the hedgehogs food is gone and i dont know if its a rat getting fat
and wildlife cams- either the batteries dont work once its outside, teh timers wrong or the sd card got forgotten

There have been additives (nitrogen I think) in pub gas for years specifically to stop people using it for weldin

id no idea- what miserable sod’s idea wsa it to do that?

Fabric Scoop Sport Shallow Saddle £18 at merlin seems like a good deal
Other models too

you could get a pub co2 gas bottle cheap or free off facebook and a friendly landlord to fill it up for a few quid

Id say 1p of the tax i pay already, should be green, not the war machine
How do you pay more, if its not your fault? how do you pay morE, if you have to work more and cause more hassle to get the money to pay it?
We dont need to give the gov t any more ways to gouge money out of us

Fitbit premium- mine came with 6months premium which expired. But they wanted to transfer my account to google (who own fitbit) and offered me 6months premium in doing so.(which i believe i can transfer to whichever fitbit i have)
Im not saying fitbit are any good, but they are better with the subscription

my kefir grains seem to have died off a while ago.
They were ok for a year or two
I need to get some more now

I never tried lift TIG but I assume you’ll get a contaminated weld/tungsten with it, which may be ok for some things.

One that many welders use (including myself for work):-

https://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=22932

I didnt know you can get an MIG/|TIG/Ally all in one

But how good are they? Whats the real difference/s between these and the 200+amp welders we have at work?
