Nope.

They had one of them, all shinny and expensive. It was left behind.

@bigegg

Well there goes my nest post.
"Guess what this is."

It is a old vertical lift tyre pump.

It does pump and is set aside for restoration.

Thats a shame, I chopped up a series winch when I built this https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/timber-winch.69155/

The Defender one looks a bit bigger, if you do decide to sell it I would be interested.

Today I went to the local garage to have a veeeeery slow puncture repaired. I thought it was either a leaky valve or dirt between the rim & tyre, because I could drive hundreds of miles before the dash 'Puncture' lit up again.

Anyway, it turned to be pin about an inch long [like a veneer pin] so it was a puncture - all fixed for £10

I came away with a cannibalised shopping trolley from his skip which was minus the lower bits. Someone had had it away for the castors and dumped it in his skip - he saw it happen on his CCTV but what could he do?
Plenty of shiny mesh to be had - it's still in the boot so I have no idea hence it came. I wonder if the £1 is still there...

Also, I have a line on getting a small section of rail track to use as an 'anvil' to save the vice from the ministrations of Mr BFH. That may not happen, but the seed has been sown......

A good day, all in.

A Karcher HD750 pressure washer for £14, when this was new back in 1985 it cost around £800! Connected it up to power & water & it's working perfectly apart from a leaking pressure gauge. It puts out 100bar at 11 l/m, enough for most jobs.

I was a service engineer for a Karcher dealer & IMHO this was the best cold washer they ever made. Although expensive it was simple & reliable with a top quality Siemens motor, probably why it's still working after 34 years! This was the last decent cold washer Karcher made before they started making them cheaper in order to compete with the cheap but good quality stuff from Italy.

The bonus is that it uses the same jet size as my current washer (an interpump) so I can swap hoses between them!

You do know that saying something like that after the fact is like an extra kick in the nads?
