Today I acquired...........

Points misaligned. Obviously it's not at it's true zero because the barrel is not aligning with the zero mark. Someone appears to have attempted a repair.

Seller can have it back.

Good thing you've already made the pics to show the seller!

Good luck,

Carsten

They’re a b’stard to fit.

Even more so if the cab won’t go over which I’m assuming hers won’t

I think she has a horsebox, so quite possibly fixed cab ?

 

[Barking Mat]

What kind of boat engine @8ob ?

Never seen one of them.

That’s what I was hoping wasn’t the answer.

On a tilt cab they are bad enough but there’s a certain knack to them. Involving a long ish extension. If you’ve a battery / air ratchet they’re tons easier

My horsebox starter is super accessible, thank god, but finding a starter motor is like finding rocking horse poo.

It's one like I've never seen before, just a cylinder, and runs in the reverse sense, as it's fitted heading towards the back of the vehicle. (TS3).

Like this one but a cylinder, yeah need to find a pro, I've had the old one apart twice, but never found the fault, eventually found a s/h one, which works.

Huge tv,what a minefield this was ,part way through deciding,we both gave up and settled for a donated tv ,anyway this 50” was stolen from our local independent whose father is a good customer,he even delivered it ,and spent an hour setting it up,‘‘tis huge and a major refinement from the previous model.problem is , that many channels and it’s the wrong time of year to be distracted .

I got a Leatherman Charge+ G10 orange as well as the blades to restore my old Charge Titanium back to its former glory.
I was only after the blades but got carried away and the rest is history, in other words don’t tell the wife.
