Camera pervs: Poundland has Agfa 35mm film.

 

on this topic, does anyone know where I can get some 35mm films developed?  Unknown content, they were in my late Mum's stuff so it's probably emotional family stuff, flowers, pets and lots of red crosses and stickers telling me the film was wonky.

My dad's c3 has failed to start again ( three weeks after the dealer said that they'd fixed it with new glow worms). He primed it and could see lots of air and it started and he took it straight down to the dealer. They have had it all day and eventually said that the pipe to the fuel filter is split. Quite how they didn't check this last month before charging several hundred quid chasing computer messages and glow plugs I don't know. After all, following lots of advice here I did tell my dad what to say to them. Ho hum.

 

My fiat is still stuck as the specialist is busy. My friend and welder will happily do the hole in the inner wing of the Merc, but not until June which is when the 2cv needs a service and mot. And welding!

 

I am collecting a thermostat for the merc tomorrow and may have a play if the weather is ok. What could go wrong?!

A while back the Orange 4x4 headlights failed to illuminate on main/high beams so said panda was left out of daily service rota.  I bought a latvian switch thru ebay which I tried and was no good.  Plastic on wiring connector was brittle and scorched so someone has been running high wattage bulbs at some point.  The switch went faulty on the Selecta (auto panda) too, transferred it into that and lights were fully restored.  Found a couple of switches in spares and one looked good so tried hooking that up in the 4x4, no joy, earthing points checked, relays changed, joints waggled all to no avail.

As I'm meant to be heading off on a 4x4 jolly tomorrow I thought the best thing to do was abandon any hope of tracing the fault properly and wire in some driving lamps.

First time I've ever added any so just followed the wiring diagram on the back of the box.  It didn't mention relays so I just wired it direct to a spare toggle switch fitted by the previous owner.

It started to piss it down so I didn't get chance to tidy the wiring up but  a bit of tape here and there will get applied at some point.

 

 

Also put the dash together with the inclinometer and a couple of new dash speakers, only 4" but very good from BassFace.

 

 

 

 

Wanted to do a few more jobs but pissy weather hasn't stopped so sod it

[Crusty Sills]

The waterpump on my Seat is pissing out water at the rate of a litre every 5 miles, new pump coming tomorrow.

How do I change it? No timing belt but not sure how to remove aux belt!

Do I just remove the tensioner (how? and remove?

If not has anyone got a HBOL for a 2002-2008 Seat Ibiza?book number 4889?

[DodgyBastard]

Just bought this...

I couldn't resist as it was local and £100, last time I checked ebay I couldn't find any decent ones for reasonable money.

This morning on the way to work I followed a late (S plate) Rover 800 Vitesse in Not Quite Gold and it made me very happy.

It turned into the Kings Norton industrial estate

 

A couple of weeks ago in Warwick I watched a line of new jags in black/white dazzle stickers on a test followed by an early Rover 200 coupe. I yelped in joy at seeing the Rover.

 

Somebody please help me before I buy a car off Lord Sterling.

 

 

yes we need to keep him safe from  Kings Norton industrial estate

Camera pervs: Poundland has Agfa 35mm film.

 

Totally wrong thread like but mega. Shame I've already got 7 cameras loaded with film!

In my local area I can use Boots, Max Spielmann in Tesco or Timpsons. Sadly none of mine have the equipment to do it in-house any more so they all just send it away so you may find the same. It would be worth going in and asking any of those places if they still have the equipment as they'll do them in 24 hours rather than you having to wait several weeks for postal services.

Would it not be better to take the door off the front and you will have a 20x8 car port. It might get a bit warm in the summer mind. My workshop is part of a industrial sized green house. They have built proper walls but just painted over the glass roof. It does get bloody cold in the winter and baking in the summer but the light is really good to work in.

Would have been perfect... Apart from the garage is structurally unsound and is falling over. And leaking.

 

So it'll be a parking space for a bit and then a new tandem will go up in the next year.

[doobietoo]

Top tip build the new garage before you fill the space with chod or you will have a storage problem ask me how I know this
