Not sure if this one should be here or in the things that bug you or things you've fixed threads. But today I acquired the end of the dipstick back from the bottom of the sump!
Another quality Renault product.

Could be worse . . . I had to reacquire a Ford valve head from the bottom of the sump . . . after it had hammered its way through the piston, damaging the con-rod on the way past . . .and destroying the head before it did . . .

(I wasn't in the car at the time . . )

 

[bricol]

But, do they fit?

Worse, do they comply with company SOPs for material handling etc ? When one gets caught and takes a finger off . . .

Yeah, I know, been wearing 'em for decades . . . "ah, but you were using non-approved, non-company supplied PPE . . " have some un-paid recovery time off . . .

Ooh la la.

More like merde alors!

It's home, still on the trailer 'cos the forklift broke down.. The wife has dragged me of to the Gower for 2 days, so it will be a while before I get to grips with it. Interestingly, he had the gearcase for the drive to the dividing head, as well as the gear stack. Still looking for the mandrel, the vertical "stiffner", the swivel head, any banjo or dividing head.

Coffee pot?? Coffee bucket more like!

Not any more.
Containers from the Far East used to cost about $2000 only 2 years ago. Today's rate is around $16000! Air freight is also up 400%.
Then you have a huge shortage of drivers to get the containers out of the ports here so the prices have shot up.
It's so bad now they are putting army drivers on standby to prevent food shortages.

anything but pay a decent rate to drivers ?
