final fit up after a bit of paint.due to the way i mounted the intercooler on the race car it was able to flex and hit the a/c rad, putting a hole in it.
new ac rad fitted...
and the intercooler mounts re designed to stop it moving into the rad.
just a slight modification to the intercooler pipe and job jobbed.

bit premature but the drive is currently being used for its intended purpose....a scratch coat put on the wall edge to take the render, might take a couple more coats in the middle.... and the joints and edges of the slabs filled with coloured mortar.
not much more work to it now before i can start putting block down...

A Blue Box Brownie, need some attention.
The shutter was not working correctly.
The issue, the lower left hand lever has a sping attached to it.
It is now fitted the right way round.
Front fitted.
Now working now.

Not today and I took no photos but helping a mate out earlier last week he had a 2008 VW Polo with a central locking fault and the passenger’s electric window would not work from the drivers side switch. All wiring looked OK , the faults turned out to be caused by a faulty drivers side window motor , once replaced the central locking and drivers side switch worked as they should.

I've had this Sealey impact wrench for about 3 years given as a birthday present and it's always been pretty crap! I couldn't really say anything so just suffered it thinking it's how it's meant to be
Lately it's been playing up badly and last weekend just about stoped completely so I thought I'd take it apart for a look...
All the main battery wiring looked ok but this little connector fell off in my hands.
I think it was spot welded to the PCB so I thought nothing to loose and soldered it back on.
I think it's far faster than it ever was although I haven't checked it on a wheel nut yet but it's lost the speed control, it's an Ugga Dugga so why does it need speed control?
Sealey sell a whole new PCB for about £30 if it goes wrong again.

render finished. not bad for my first ever go.a scratch coat put on the wall edge to take the render, might take a couple more coats in the middle.... and the joints and edges of the slabs filled with coloured mortar.
not much more work to it now before i can start putting block down...
had some mix left over so sorted out next doors wall and fitted a capping stone from my demolished wall
and a trailer load of permeable block paving collected.
ready to lay block!

The wife bought a strange light fitting for our bedroom about 20 years ago. It has 7 bendy arms with G4 bulbs at the end. Originally it came with halogens, but about 5 or 1p years later replaced them with LEDs. But there was a snag, the 12v driver didn't fire up until you hit 20W, as many halogen transformers do. So I left one halogen in to take it over the 20W until I got around to replacing the driver.
So about 10 or 15 years later, I decided to fix it. I knew it was dim and occasionally flickering because of the temporaey bodge.
I couldn't find a circular driver over 15W. With 7 x 2W LEDs, that's a bit close to the limit so I opted for a none circular 20W driver. I would have gone a bit higher but then it wouldn't have fitted in the base.
After trimming off some excess plastic, it fits in the base, just. I gave it a good clean and test on the kitchen table as our bedroom ceiling is really high, I had to get the scaffy tower out to get to it.
I'm a couple of LEDs short, I thought I had plenty but they turned out to be the old Halogens that I put back in the old LED boxes years ago doh!
But it's a lot brighter now and doesn't flicker. When i bought some more LEDs, I noticed quite a lot of reviews mention they don't work or flicker, I wonder how many are using Halogen drivers.....
