[captain-destructo]

As mentioned elsewhere, my son in law brought home a scruffy but working concrete mixer for me. Turned into a little project to rescue the drum. I'm quite pleased with myself.

Should I slip out the back Jack?

I'd make a new plan, Stan....

As long as the raw materials for a coffin don't turn up, I reckon you're OK for the foreseeable.

Today I acquired, courtesy of @eSCHEn , this - an unexpected and unnecessary 'Thank You' for a bit of old scaffold pipe - I reckon I got the best of it.....



Confirms yet again, if anyone were left in any doubt, what a great place this is!!

An absolute pleasure John. You know my thoughts on bees and their "offerings" so I definitely got the clean end of the stick

I'll be hopefully getting started on the project (and build thread) in the next couple of weeks.

oooh.
a pi-key

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

The third and hopefully final part of my bad luck.
1st dual mass flywheel on the car disintegrates with little warning. £1600 quid engine needs to be dropped to replace it and the clutch.
2nd Someone wipes out the front of my van because they dont know how to use a roundabout and flee's the scene.
3rd. van starts loosing power intermittently. Sometimes it starts but no throttle and stalls like its not being told to idle.
magic. Could it get any worse. bloomin hope not.

Fingers crossed its the map sensor and not the injectors.

Has it got a fly-by-wire throttle 'cable'? If this starts playing up I'd imagine it could produce the resulting aggro you've been experiencing?

Could be the fuel pump.

But, I hope it gets better soon.

 

[bigegg]

is it the ferlanjees?

 

[Kayos]

A weekend of fun, in a box

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

Has it got a fly-by-wire throttle 'cable'? If this starts playing up I'd imagine it could produce the resulting aggro you've been experiencing?

It has and it could but popped down the garage on the way home this morning and had the codes read. Map sensor a short somewhere and injectors. All of which if I'm lucky could be down to the map sensor.
Hopefully not the injectors as there prone to seizing in and could be costly getting them removed.
Due in Wednesday for a service and mot already. That's me near skint for the first time in a decade.

Vehicles made a major dent in November, tax man in jan and now there hitting again.

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

Don't think so. Performance is fine right up until revs die completely. Then starts again and runs fine.

Time will tell. Empty the van tomorrow and prepare for a 3 day week in the car.
