They gone from 10 to 20 years I believe.Are anybody's?
Water in fuel problems confused my Local Citroen dealers , I was self employed and couldn't affort the time out to sort it so hired another car and let them at it . They reckoned they had removed the fuel tank & steamed it clean .Certainly symptoms were indicatiVe of fuel issues. Maybe stop solenoid. I’d filled up for the first time in ages a day before so that might have stirred up something in the tank. That’s the problem with faults that go away, you can never be absolutely sure what happened. I’ll get my Landrover Man to see if anything shows if he plugs it into his OBD thingy.
It was my fathers. He was an engineer, he is still breathing but sadly has dementia so wouldn't remember. I am glad that it will live on rather than rusting away in my shedView attachment 400253
This came my way, from a Forum Member.
It needed some TLC, mainly fixing the handle.

The handle has been cleaned and 3 coats of French polish applied. The tang was cleaned up and now is ready to be fitted.

This blow torch is being fired on dirty lamp oil, why waste it.

The tang is heated so spit boils on it. Then fitted to the handle.

OUR fitters know what they are doing - it's the customers fitters and maintenance guys who just use a longer length of scaffold pipe - and when you have hundreds of machines around the world, with a massive variation in the plants people mechanical abilities . . . I'm in a plant in the US now where most of the day shift are good, experienced people, with the odd one who isn't. The night shift however . . .Sounds like your company hires Baboons Depends on the application. For my uses and most of my customers uses, it’s a weak point we would all rather avoid.We also have mechanical sympathy along with torque wrenches…
A lot of my stuff is replicating old parts. So for the “ originality “ part of it, it’s better to run it out , as it looks like the part was made with thread chasers or a nut.OUR fitters know what they are doing - it's the customers fitters and maintenance guys who just use a longer length of scaffold pipe - and when you have hundreds of machines around the world, with a massive variation in the plants people mechanical abilities . . .

However, its not actually a weak point, rather the other way around - thread runout concentrates stress at one point - an undercut distributes the axial stress evenly. If your threaded fasteners survive without it . . . you're wasting money and material by making them too big
Thought that was going to be a crossbow for a moment...View attachment 400280
Theses scapers are good tools, but are let down by the poor paint on the handle.
Not to worry.

The paint comes off very easy.
I also replaced the steel rivets with copper roves.

Fairies have beards and you gotta believe it...The job was simple…
My young daughter would like one of her fairy’s in the garden to have her head back, following a distressing incident involving her younger brother…

2 minutes later and I am the best dad in the world…

And then the welding helmet comes up!
Oops! Total job time is increased to 30 minutes due to having to convince my little girl that fairy’s can have beards! Phew!
Mr fairy is returned to the garden to happily rejoin his friends!
Errrrr why cant they drive a boat with out bow thrust…..only used for parking!I fixed a bow thruster today.
Took 6 hours.
Had to get lunch, spare bit which didn't fit, drive boat for 1.5 hours to pull it out, as clients didn't feel safe driving it, then took a couple of hours to pull boat out, bodge the propellor back on the bow thruster and run away.

You may need to zoom in on the middle to see the problem.
