  1. Use Ed's Red with Acetone. Will shift anything. No need for the Lanolin unless gun is used infrequently.
  2. Thought I had posted this but cant see it. My local batteryman tells me there are a lot of poor quality fakes around. Mostly duracell.
  3. The failure on my car "and others" is not really a blockage but a failure of the none return valve in the washer jet unit. Ford wont accept this as it would mean a warranty claim. Instead they insist its debris in the line and therefore caused by dirty fluid.

    FLYING LEGENDS

    Anyone go to this air display at Church Fenton yesterday? Wonderful day out and well worth the 80 mile drive Dozens of WW2 military airplanes both on display and flying. Highlight of our day was a low flypast in formation and display by seven spitfires. "lovely sound" Also a display by a highly polished B25 and a lightning. Lots of noise. Day was marred by a couple of bad storms with horizontal rain and thunder and lightning which means stuck out on an airfield you get very wet. Car parking was all hard standing for several thousand cars and all very well organized. Will go again if I am still here.
  5. Oh dear Oh dear. What a sorry mess but I was motoring when if your car even got to 40.000 you were lucky, they either rusted away or you had it in for a rebore new pistons and big end shells after enjoying miles and miles of 30/40 bhp motoring. My last two motors did well over 100.000 without bother.
  6. Friends all got them, no problems but all manual boxes. Bomb proof Transit engines
  7. There is a none return valve in the jets which apparently fails and blocks the unit making it a design fault which ford wont admit as this then would be a warranty claim so they just say "blocked jets" which is not.
  8. Are a over complicated pain in the neck. My 17reg Kuga has three windscreen washer jets. Two of which have stopped working. I could not even get the things off. Local ford agent wants £93 to replace the none working ones. They can not be unblocked. Checked online and the "heated" jets cost £36 each from Fords. cant see any aftermarket ones. Gone are the days when you just attacked a blocked jet with a needle and all was good.
  9. If Mr Digweed endorses this then yes it will sell. Whether it will help shooters???????
  10. I have practical experience of several people coming to end of life and wishing the thousands they have in the bank had been put to good use. I personally am a collector of "nice things" whether I need them or not. I do get a lot of enjoyment out of my "things"
  11. Eds Red with acetone will shift it. Shame you dont give your location, if you are close to me I could let you have some.
  12. Sorry to hear this. have you tried TESCO BANK I found this the best last year.
  13. Thanks for the advice. I really only wanted the gun for what it was "nice" and it would have spent it's life in my cabinet, just another gizzit. Your advice I am sure is sound.
  14. Decided against it. Went for a final view and the gun has developed some hanger rash. I only really fancied it as it was over 100 years old and appeared to be unused. Oh well.
  15. Just read that. Frightening to say the least.
  16. Dont want to hijack a sales thread but thought I would say I walked over two thousand miles in my last pair of Zamberlan boots. Twas a while ago but I am sure the quality is still there.
  17. I certainly will when and if I get it. Thanks guys for the comments, nearly all positive.
  18. Thanks but I doubt it. This one is in someones collection.
  19. Hi. Talk to me about this gauge please. I have never owned a 16 and fancy a change. I know the cartridges are expensive but would like your thoughts. chat to me . Yes Of course I have seen a cabinet queen S/S. and dont know whether to take the plunge. ps. I only shoot clays and for fun.
  20. He's retired from the race half way round. Looks like he lost his mast!
  21. Just fancy going into ASDA in the UK and walking out with a firearm. In your dreams!
  22. This Saturday, my little lad "he's 63" is racing his yacht Spoofer with his son. There is an App you can download to watch the race for anyone interested. He did the Fastnet a couple of years ago and had the distinction of finishing last but at least he did it!. I only wish I could be with him on Sat. Wish him luck.
