    Cheers

    Any idea of what size the circlip is that holds the adapter in place?

    It appears to have the same bearing size as a hop 2 hub, nut doesn’t have the pro 2 anywhere on it. I thought it was a bulb, but they are different in size as well.

    Could you use a pickup?? My mate uses a Ford Ranger Double Cab witht the 2.5tdci in it and mountain top load tray cover.

    Loves his truck more than life itself.

    Don’t forget a bottle of water or orange juice to help keep that hangover at bay.

    I have a PD 1.9 GOlf 100 – love it, have driven a few VAG CR TDI’s as well and although they are quieter and a bit more powerful, they also appear to be less reliable than the lower powered PD engines.

    I average 50mpg in summer and about 45 in winter in my car. mixed driving, but I do drive slow and use the engine as much as possible.

    ^ Well that is what it look like, but I can’t change them.

    I’ve tried making the margins mininmal, 0, large, small and nowt is working.

    When working on it the margins are fairly hefty.

    The settings you chose for left and right margins, column spacing, or indents are too large for the page in some sections.

    That is it.

    I’m stuck for now. So going to finish off the book and then fanny about with it later in some way.

    PS: 45 pages is a small document

    It’s got images and tables in it so MB wise it’s quite large just now.

    DCM can also be used for extraction of psuedoephedrine if you need a sideline for paying for your bike habit.

    Never had to use one myself, but came across a broken down roadie with a flat months ago. Offered to give him a lift home, he was determined to fix his flat. Lent him my track pump to get things going, both his spare inner tubes split when pumped.
    Remembered these in the car and he found the hole and patched it, got the pressure up to about 100 to get the last 50 miles home.

    Presume he made it.

    I like to use di-ethyl ether to degrease my chains, it makes the process so much more enjoyable (and flammable).

    Youll be asking them to pump the fuel in for you next

    Having spent several years living in countries where people did this for you. I returned to teh UK and took mrsq and I up to scotland on holiday. We were in Mallaig and i needed fuel. Stopped at the petrol station, and waited, nobody came, started to get a bit irrate, when there was a tap at the window, lady asked me if I was lost.
    I told her I wanted 50 quid of petrol and opened the boot.
    She looked blankly at me and said something about me filling it up. At which point I got quite embarrassed and realised that it was self service in the UK.
    We really do need some Burmese refugees over here to operate the pumps to save one getting out of their car

    All phones at CPW are unlocked as far as I am aware, but I have a feeling 3 phones are branded and locked, but can’t remember.

    Pistons leaking

    Mine did.

    Didn’t know until I got to a junction though and didn’t stop quite ask quickly as I would have liked.

    FOr my shed I put in extra long screws that screwed into 2×4 behind each joint. and corner. I then rounded the heads of each screw with a drill.
    I repeated the same process for any other area that has screws in it.
    The door has 2×4 all across the back where any screws go in.
    Inside the door I have a vertical and lower bolt.
    Vertical bolt goes up into a piece of 2×4 bolted into the frame with long screws and is locked.
    large Floor bolt goes through the floor into the concrete slabs.
    Difficult to open second door now to get bikes out.

    I lifted one of the concrete slabs and bolted an expensive U lock through it after drilling holes for my ground anchor. It comes up through the floor and into the shed.

    Bikes are secured with two chains. joined by circular ‘uncroppable’ reenforced locks. chain loops up to the top of the hut where again another bit of 2×4 has been bolted in place with a metal hoop secured there as well

    Outer lock is another circular anti-crop lock reenforced.

    The security was put in place by a mate who in the past has possibly entered a few sheds without permission.

    Heat up a pin, melt through the end.

    A bit of a twirl around in the end and you can get the bit out that holds it in.

    PS Helmets all of them, none of them or some of them we need to know

    no helmets – didnt seem the safest idea though, doesn’t take much for something silly like a slip on the pedals to bang baby off stem

    Love it, drank if for years now.

    Dad got into it as well and being a posh **** started buying fancy teas from around the world, something like 10grams for 25 quid was about the point mum told him to settle down and drink green tea from tesco like everybody else.

    Yup and that one day will make a massive difference.

    Shit, I bit

    Which a lot of them don’t realise. The 10 teachers at school in NUT who are on strike next week didn’t know this. They were yabbering on about the strike when we pointed this out to them.
    A couple of UNISON members went on strike a few years back, and they now have on their annual pension statement a note about it not being complete because of those days.

    Get some epsom salts and either microwave them or heat them on a hot skillet.

    Chuck them in a plastic box one they had lumped together and throw in your nano with a bit of paper towel to stop the epsoms sticking,

    This will dry it out a lot better than any rice.
