[Labradors, what colour]

usually i prefer the fox reds ...got 3 off them and now got my first yellow one ......depends on what your going to do with it ...... check hips scores and elbows(look for 0-0) anything under 15 is good for hips anything after is not so good in later life.

broadlaw has a litter of blacks around 2 weeks old ....these pups are generally always easy trained and good for novice trainers

[combi boiler question]

if you have hot radiators but no hot water or vice versa its generally the diverter valve ....usually a 1/2 hr fix ....take the boiler make and model no ...google it and you'll get someone local hopefully with spares .......parts usually around £60-80 depending on make

[CNC Mill]

looks good but from their website expensive, do you use this on a hobbie machine?

 

dan

 

speak with them and tell them your requirements ...you wont need the full package if you are just milling ....takes a day or so to get used too but a good milling package ....if its mach you use then thats all you would need for the code writing, i think they do mach writing packages for the hobbyist.

 

I built my own cnc from a warco mill but moved on ....was getting more and more ambitious and fussy .....i bought an old bridgeport interact from a college and rebuilt it in single phase with geckos and mach, used the original motors but changed the encoders ......very accurate machine

[L200 Crankshaft Pulley]

As Tam says ...worth joining the L200 forums ...loads of good info on there .......I changed mine recently, youll need a good long bar, or scaffold tube on tommy bar .....put the car into gear and try and slacken ....i know some will turn engine over to crack the initial bite from the threadlock but i didnt need to.

also order a new bolt when you order the new pulley ...i also had to go and buy a set of pulley removers from halfords (the outer came off fine but the inner part was a pig) .....also had to take the radiator out and would be worth changing all your other belts when youve got it stripped down. put on some threadlock when you replace bolt and remember inner belts when you reassemble

 

when you refill your radiator remove the little brass thermostat on engine head ....makes life a lot easier to bleed your system

 

not a bad job to do just a bit time consuming if things have seized a bit

 

good luck

 

regards

Ian
