My old head stalker could fix that in the dark. He sorted his mk2 escort van out with a drain hole, none of us knew it had a leak, odd!

I bet some wee came out.

I bet some wee came out.

I would think so plus a bit of the other.

I got a message over summer "Any idea how to fix this Hoover?". I tried to talk her through dismantling it to find the probably worn out brushes. She couldn't sort it so when I came back to uni she said "My mum's left a project for you".

Took it all apart, the brushes were enclosed in the motor, not very serviceable but I got it open, loads of life left in the brushes.

There's a triac in the foreground near the tweezers, luckily spotted one of the solder joints had melted so I soldered that back up, reassembled it, soldered a capacitor back on that fell off another board and it works again.

The best part, the friend's mum gave me eighty quid. I was expecting about a tenner maybe, it's an old Miele made before there were power restrictions on them so she was very grateful to have it back.

Hopefully, the leak around the servo...

The one with the small leak?

Nothing like having someone go down on you slowly.

Together with my 15 year old son rebuild this. When fabricating a year ago we dicided to cut away piece of the rear axle boxsection to clear for a greater sprocket wheel. Now it slowly bend so made reinforcements, spraypaint and realigned chains. Best build ever.

Small cnc mill semi working again. Just the tool changer to sort out now . Spindle is whisper quiet at 8000rpm so, hasn’t had a hard life. Always a concern when you buy machines in a non running state, even more do when the previous owner turns out to be a multiple personality bellend ....
