  1. Glad to see you had a nice day, it's a great location and I'd recommend any of you to go try it!
  2. Then maybe: http://ovendoorglue.co.uk/ One of the reviews on there was from some guy who mentioned it worked on his Prestige oven. Just over a fiver to give it a go... but I think it is just high temperature silicone.
  3. The ones i've changed before were just pushed into place with no adhesive... Maybe with a lug to hold it in place if I remember rightly. Silicone sealant of some sort would maybe do if you've definitely got a glue on one, I think normal ones are resistant up to a few hundred degrees, but they also make high heat resistant ones too. (I guess you're changing the seal rather than just reattaching btw? a replacement was about £10 I think but that's oven dependent of course)
  4. Brains on your face from necking it? How short are you? If you just take it by the head and swing it around at ankle height a few times till you can feel the neck break and consequently the bird to stop being alive then I don't think you'll get brains on your face Or get yourself a 'priest' to bash it on the head with. Before I knew about this technique I used to shoot the bird again with my air rifle but this method is much better.
  5. I was ravaged in the woods by a bird. That's my excuse and i'm sticking to it.
  6. Just a word of advice to anyone going on this shoot: take wellies. Oh, and maybe some spare trousers too!
  7. It was probably 10 yards and 50 feet and a good typo If it was anything like 100 yards then he's a very silly boy.
  8. Nice experience to have had and a nice write up too
  9. There were some also some Primos crow callers on there for £900 odd when I looked last night. I'm gonna start saving and get both of these bargains.
  10. Lucky catch there then - I figure he owes you a drink or two!
  11. 100 yards to one side AND 50 feet in the air? Glad to see you're still trying tho Lukey!
  12. I hope Doc has a license to shoot them too! I saw more cormorants than pigeons on my last morning out. Worrying signs :s
  13. How about a dating website for people with big guns? Would make it easier to find someone who won't object to us going shooting every weekend
  14. Great result really - and good to keep the farmer happy! well done
  15. Good result really! And addiction - hmm... more like a way of life
  16. Nice to see a working and springer, and as you say, the hard work is paying off. Hopefully she'll be just as good as your old dog
  17. Nice to see them getting thinned out good shooting Mr.
  18. If you're not sure... don't touch it. I know it sounds mean of me to say that but not everything is designed for everyone to be able to play with at home. In the back of your boiler installation manual will probably be some diagnostic steps that you run through when fault finding a problem. Some of these will ask about voltages on various parts of the circuit board/terminal blocks etc. But the multimeter itself won't tell you why your water isn't getting hot. Maybe if you tell us the problems and symptoms you're having with your system then we can steer you in the right direction before you shock yourself
  19. Glad to see some of you managed to go. Not that i'm jealous. Much.
  20. Copied from L200 owners club because it's easier than typing it myself: Pretty much remove hub and calliper and pop top ball joint. Should then be able to move the driveshaft from the upright. Think the drivers side unbolts easily from just inside the innner cv. I couldn't work out how to remove the passenger one so just split the joint and replaced the boot in situ. From memory there's a clip that holds these in somewhere... Found you this too: Jack up front of vehicle and support on axle stands Remove road wheel Remove brake caliper and tie out of way (14mm spanner) Remove track rod end ball joint from hub (19mm socket and splitter) Remove 4 bottom ball joint bolts and the silly side bolt in the ball joint (17mm socket and spanner) Remove top ball joint 3 bolts from wishbone (12mm socket and spanner) Seperate all the above and pull out driveshaft and hub assembly (a good tug required due to spring clip on inner CV spline) Side back/cut off inner CV boot and remove big spring clip just inside the CV housing (easily removed with a screwdriver as a lever) Slide CV out of housing Remove circlip on back of CV and slide off the driveshaft (internal circlip pliers) Remove old CV boots and wipe away old grease Slide on new CV boots Apply grease into CV boots Clip CV boots to CV and driveshaft (if using metal clips provided use joiners pincers to squeeze the lug up) Refitting is the reversal of removal but you swear in different places Cheesy Tools required once wheel is removed: 12mm, 14mm, 17mm spanners 12mm, 17mm, 19mm sockets Internal circlip pliers Joiners pincers Dull blow/copper hammer Balljoint seperator Flat blade screwdriver Stanley knife (if cutting old CV boots off) Side arm cutters Liquid spanner/easing spray for any seized nuts/bolts Plenty of rags/blueroll for wiping down stuff Really easy to do and only took me an hour to do each side with 4 new boots. Shame that I had to sell my truck really. I almost miss it. Good luck!
  21. He's quite a big boy isn't he and a good one to have shot. Congrats
  22. (nice easy one on patterns to start with: http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/153348-setting-a-pigeon-decoy-pattern/ )
  23. Make a hide somewhere near where pigeons like to feed or under a flightline. Put the decoys out in front of you in any one of many many different patterns. Turn on your flapper and your magic rotary machine and sit and wait for pigeons to come and visit you. When they do, or when they are at least within range - stand up and shoot at them. Fingers crossed you'll hit some If that doesn't work - take a look through the forum and read some of the threads on decoy patterns and techniques - have a look in the tips and tricks forum for one. Pretty much all of this has been covered. Weekly. Most importantly tho - have fun and don't get disheartened if you don't shoot 100s straight away.
  24. £90 for a day out in the countryside with a 3 course dinner and wine - doesn't sound that bad to me really. Glad you enjoyed it Doc
