Interesting..
Hadn't thought about caustic soda..
The stainless "ali only" brush is a given.
I think i'll try a hot citric acid & vinegar bath then maybe dabble with a light caustic soda solution..
Thanks guys
I'm just about to try and make a chargecooler from an old intercooler.
Obviously I'll be using nice new plate to make new end tanks and water jacket but the intercooler core is an old one and it's quite oxidised.
I could just wire brush and acetone the areas I'm going to weld but I'd like to...
Biggest problem with screwfix is the amount of stock they carry.
I needed 120 roofing screws and some wood screws yesterday.
Nearest SF had 1 box of 100 so I had to go to another SF further away who had 2 boxes in stock.
Just a small niggle but it can be a right PITA.
And the deals in the...
Yep. You're right.
It seems to be that they all think that that kind of drama is the main point of any of these fly on the wall documentaries.
Ice Road Truckers is like it.
Stobart one is like it.
Gold divers is like it.
They're all becoming the same :(
Some of the stuff they do is a little interesting but boy is the show hyped up or what!!
"This must be done now!! So and so is losing $23,000,000 a minute while he waits for this thing he's ordered."
That kind of credit line is par for the course. And on the face of it, he had more than enough assets to cover it.
His 2 sales guys, that he sacked and blamed for him bleeding money off to fund his strawberry farm, started up afterward. It wasn't their fault. They were none the wiser and lost...
4 years ago, my company got taken for £48,000.
By a sole trader.
Safe you'd think.
We can go after him.
Company turned over about £500,000.
Had no assets whatsoever. He rented his big house and everything in it. Cars were leased. He declared himself personally bankrupt.
We lost the lot...
Actually driving the things on the road is a bit of a buzz..

If you want any info on doing it, drop me a line.
Did my cat C (Class 2/rigid) in october and doing my C+E (Class 1/artic) next week.
Still got the LGV theory book and DVD I could do you a deal on too.
If you're ltd, you have to pay corporation tax. But you don't have to be VAT registered.
Last time I heard the threshold was £68K 12month rolling turnover.
Leasing stuff is THE most tax efficient way to have anything with a ltd company. A lease payment is 100% off setable against tax where as...
If your turnover is less than £6,500,000 then you file abbreviated accounts.
Which show pretty much nothing.
My company pays for a credit checking service and I queried why there was so much missing from the reports.
The told me this. So I said about getting the copy from companies house and was...
You say "it's not a VW" like that's a bad thing..
I see that as a plus point. You're paying £1560 a year more just for a name and brand perception.
Fords aren;t my cup of tea but they've made a few vans in their time. And they seem to learn by their mistakes. I think the Custom will turn out...
It's the same cam just branded differently.
I priced it up through amazon and once you;ve added the GPS head and a card, there wasn't alot in it.
So buying from a UK supplier gets my vote for the peace of mind should you get a faulty one. Although that doesn't seem to be an issue having done the...

You can actually get that...
Absolute 80's and absolute 90's.
Just nice to have something on in the background. They play some goo dstuff and sometimes find myself humming/singing along.
Fiat Ducato / Citroen Relay / Peugeot Boxer. All the same van and great to drive. Huge load space. Pretty reliable.
I currently have an 05 plate iveco 35S12. Not nearly as nice to be in as the ducato's etc but can tow 2.8t as opposed to 2t. I use it to tow my drift car around and did a 700 mile...
