This one: www.agri-supply.co.uk/pneumatic-manual-oil-extractor-18l/Half the price of identical Sealey one but any would do as long as it takes oil and chems with viton seals etc. OP was on about pressure bleeders that force it in from the top, but i always thought that was asking for a big mess in the engine bay so prefer the suck method myself. I've had limited success using a Gunson's system and SWMBO got fed up of being used as a pedal pusher last time I worked on the brakes. So looking for a better solution and something that can be used for multiple purposes has to be good. Sucking the fluid through seems a more logical approach and safer. The one you listed is actually twice the price of the Sealy unit. Show me where you can buy the sealey 18L tp6906 for £60 then which isnt as good as it isnt pneumatic as well as manual. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sealey-TP6906-Vacuum-Oil-and-Fluid-Extractor-and-Discharge-18ltr/352072789136

I wasted 80 odd quid on a mityvac thinking it would be the dogs danglies, what an utter piece of curse word that was. I just use my oil extractor now instead for bleeding if gravity some pipe and open nipple doesnt work. I was about to ask if you could use an oil extractor, I need to get one to change th eoil and it woudl eb great if you could use it for bleeding the brakes. I'm assuming you can use something like this one; This one: www.agri-supply.co.uk/pneumatic-manual-oil-extractor-18l/Half the price of identical Sealey one but any would do as long as it takes oil and chems with viton seals etc. OP was on about pressure bleeders that force it in from the top, but i always thought that was asking for a big mess in the engine bay so prefer the suck method myself.

VW Lupo or Polo 6n2 would be my suggestions. Lupo can be had on T plate, the mk1 arosa (same platform basically) can be had from 97ish. If you can sneak up to 2001 Y plate then the 3 pot TDI or agricultural SDi keep on giving with £30 tax. Petrol non GTI versions the gearboxes are weak and pedal boxes are weak, the window mechs and switches are weak, but can be made very funky and individual for cheap. 1.8t or 1.9TDI conversion would sort out the grunt factor if you were serious about it.

Aint hindsight a wonderful thing? Sadly It went when I was 16. I tried a Specialised 20" BMX in my 30s but as i no longer bounced when i came off it I called it a day. There were plenty of cheap copies of the mongoose frames but i am sure there are some good giveaways for telling them apart.
The 24 is an excellent size I found, obviously it wont be quite as chuckable as a 20 though.

Still fancy a Quadangle myself as they were the dogs danglies early mid 80s when I had a Mongoose Supergoose with Skyways on it. Got myself a 24" Redline Proline about 6 years ago.

I like fairness and consistency myself, that means finding a one man band who isnt a foaming at the mouth Nazi heel clicker and who does >90% of the tests himself. I've found plenty of good MOT places if the owner is doing the test but they end up with too many minions doing the tests so you don't know what you are going to get and the minions are usually OTT to try and please the boss. Consistancy and fairness, but if it needs to fail that is fine by me. Current MOT place fits the bill nicely.

The ones that pee me off are the "best mate" MOTs that send them thru with no advisories but the car is an obvious fail basket case and / or trading as private.

I'd guess it depends on what you said in your initial letter, if you did not ask for it to be marked as scrap or that it would never return to the road but they did that anyway then I'd write them telling them you did not request the vehicle marked as scrap and that that was done by them without your permission when you just informed them the vehicle was somewhat damaged and would be off the road. Tell them that you want that decision reversed as you are now restoring the car and see what happens. Probably best to include relevant photos to show the car exists as well.

What! No bead roller, no folder, no shrinker - stretcher, no hydraulic press, no cnc cad cam! The sacrilege! Having spent several recent days reading a certain "build" thread I for one appreciate that you have just cracked on with no fuss and basic tools and just got on with it. Nice one, that will do.

Treat others as you would like to be treated is a reasonable rule of thumb. Personally I have a no noise Sunday rule myself as it is generally the quietest day of the week, so unless there is an urgent need I avoid the industrial stuff that day. But that's just me.
As has been said the neighbour disputes and complaints have gone thru the roof in lockdown so I wouldnt worry about it too much.

Why doesnt Ebay have filters to detect the listing behaviours that make up these scams. An account suddenly listing hundreds of vehicles wouldnt be hard to flag up on the system would it? Ebay seem way to lax about it all tbh.

Unless he is in a restrictive zone that is penalising diesels and older cars then why not just get an older <£2k diesel. The earlier 1.9 PD flavour being the best option if serviced properly and very tunable too. Something like an Alhambra, Galaxy, Sharan might suit him or he might get away with a Touran. Diesels after 2009(ish) have tighter emissions on MOT as well as expensive DPF stuff to contend with. Think of what else to do with the £5k saved.

No idea on the current li-on lifespans but all the battery tools i have bought over the years are dead and useless (except the 12v stuff as i can run it off a car battery on a lead) so if you can use a corded tool without too much bother I would strongly favour getting them.
If the tool is good but the chuck fubar then maybe get another chuck?
