Morning all - the black cover on the Mignon pressure switch fitted to my SIP Nimbus 25025 Compressor (circa 1985) broke last night just where the screw secures it to the pressure switch body. A new pressure switch is £35 plus vat etc from SIP /ebay etc which seems a lot to pay to just to remove...
Did come across 'file card' and thought for the price it is worth having a go. Ordered one of ebay, will report back on how successful it turns out to be - Thanks for the advice so far - Mark
I want to wire brush the top of my 4 x 4 chassis before applying some under body coating but there is only about an 1/2inch gap between the top of the chassis and the vehicle body shell which rules out your everyday run of the mill wire brushes. Does anyone know (or what they called) if there is...
This looks quite neat too - Mark

I asked a simple question about wiring in a blocking diode HOWEVER i had numerous replies about the legalities and folks own opinion of DRL's etc, etc. This forum is better than this and so as not to put off guest readers and beginers i think deleting...
Sorry - Big Sorry - I forgot to add that i would be replacing the the 27watt halogen bulbs with compatible lower brightness LED bulbs i have managed to find available for such conversions. My aim is not to look cool just to be more visible. As part of new vehicle type approval DRL's will have to...
I have 2 x 30watt front foglamps on my car and want to have them on in daylight hours as day light running lights for increased safety. I will wire them from a fused feed via a change over relay so that when the side lights come on they automatically switch off and then revert to there normal...
Having seen numerous recommendations on this site concerning the Aldi black metal paint i went ahead and purchased a couple of tins a few weeks ago. Last weekend i wire brushed some garden gates, applied red oxide primer and then applied the Aldi paint but i couldnt help but notice how 'thin'...
You are one of a dying breed - and my admiration goes out to you - I work in the office of an Engineering company and watch and marvel as the trucks turn up with all the steel and raw materials and then return a week later to collect what our welders/fabricaters have turned in 'something of...

Update
I contacted Autocolour a local paint supplier in Stoke (no commercial interest in the company) and asked them for their suggestions and straight away they recommended a product called technogrip and mixed me up an aerosol cans 'worth'. I will be spraying up the towbar shortly and and...
Welcome Bede - I too am from the stoke on trent area working in the accounts/office of a family members engineering company. Had a couple of Freelanders but 18 months ago moved onto a 55 plate Sorento which to be honest fairs up quite well with the Freelanders - Mark
Someone ran into the back of me last week (slow impact) and lightly scratched the towbar - as its a witter towbar and looks to be powder coated can anyone recommend an aerosol i can purchase just to give it a quick flash over - Mark
This is one i made up from a cheap own brand B & Q jobbie for about £23.00 and some 8mm plate from our workshop HOWEVER in no way can i take credit for this idea as i was inspired (and COPIED) a posting on this forum from another member who MUST take all the credit - forget which member it was...
Just wondering if any one can recommend a rust removal gel etc for use on my Kia Sorento ladder chassis. According to the Sorento forms they dont appear to weather too well and after checking mine i have found a lot of surface rust and want to 'nuetralise' it and then paint it with the Aldi...
I have a Britool 161 mig from about the same period which was basically an Oxford Welder badged as Britool - within a couple of weeks i had a problem with the rotary control on the pcb (the small blue componant bottom left of your picture) so i rang Oxford welders who sent me out the complete...
