Along with some tooling and a machine vice.

looks very tidy

Reminds me of the other half's Jaguar. No matter if she fixes the clock time it uses the mother ship and sets itself something like 4 mins slow all the time!! Can't set the correct time on it at all

Hands or digital?

 

[JOEPRO]

Hands or digital?

Digital clock. And when we manually set the time correct a few mins later it resets to Jaguar time

Weird. Is it getting its time from the ECU?
Perhaps the car has reverted to Railway Time.

Not sure I haven't looked into it too much to be honest just always noted the car went several minutes off the actual time by itself.

The car will be PX'd soon for a Benz so won't be looking further into it either

Caulking removal and smoothing tool, 5 different spread profiles.



I've always fancied a "professional fugenwerkzeug"

My Audi dash clock loses (or gains, I can't remember now I've come to write this down) a few minutes over a period of a month or two, then seems to not change any more. I set it, a few weeks later it will be wrong. It's not a radio clock, that feature wasn't enabled on the UK cars.

Today, a rather rare thing which I travelled to Manchester to pick up...
A Winona IntheBlok portable crankshaft grinder.....
Portable, it most certainly is, and if Sunnen and Van Norman made similar machines, the geometrical principles are unlikely to be lacking .
2hr 10 minutes from Euston to Manchester Piccadilly is hardly Snail Rail, either....

Photo's. These posts are no good without photo's.

The clock on my Freelander 2 gradually gains, (a few minutes over two months or so) I've often wondered if it's something to do with dodgy earths or something. I had a similar problem with the rear sun roof on a Disco 2 over a couple of months it would open an 1/8 th of an inch or so. Like I say dodgy earth maybe.

About £150 from tat I chucked in the auction house on the road into work - auctions held this evening - just checked the live auction

Some stuff didn't sell - music stands, shoe last, various books and CDs - but the tapes did. In rummaging through stuff, found my mum, now 85, liked Mantavani, James Last, Lots of different jazz. And reggae . . .

Well a couple of weeks ago, but bought myself something fast to drive, life is too short.

 

[Gragson]

Arrived today all intact fortunately - packaging was woeful.
Compared to the old Rothenberger kit there are some minus points but overall better, nicer to use and most important available and much cheaper O2 compatible bottles at about 20 quid a pop.

 

[DAPPH]

Got 4 plastic boxes different sizes to store lathe parts,drills , taps dies ,etc
And 2 adesive grease spray cans ,to protect my lathe while It's waiting outside , covered anyways

Check this eBay guy out he has a very large range of small ratchet storage tubes for drill & taps etc.
eBay number 256182168312

Not today but came with the lathe, a 24inch surface table, only just got it flipped the right way up as its a bit heavy! cost a donation to the air ambulance courtesy of @My Old Landy
It will clean up ok but seems a shame to use it for bashing and clunking things on but I guess its done its time as a surface table

 

[MetalMonkey]

And not a van in sight.

How did you get it out of your van? Interested parties might want to know.

Brute force and ignorance, mainly ignorance
