  1. Move the back wheels to the front of the car and see if you still have the same problem, if yes then check for correct toe in, usually about 1/8'' as ditchman said check tyre pressure, so long as you have none of the faults pointed out by Lord Geordie, wheel wobble is usually down to unbalanced wheels and should come and go at different speeds.
  2. WD40 on the metal bits and silicon spray/grease on the wooden bits.
  3. If you are sure you were on eBay UK and the reset email arrived shortly after requesting a password reset you should be ok to click the link to reset password. What I don't understand is when they reset account passwords they usually send a temporary password so you can access your account. Did the email contain your user name?
  4. ....... ............if they have reset your password they will send a temporary password
  5. Yes...that's why they picked North Yorkshire, its well away from London if things go tits-up.
  6. Will it run a car?
  7. Should there be a picture of Hazzard so we can compare the likeness?
  8. With every statement put out by either side they need to add the words 'might/possible' because no one can give a definitive answer to any of the major questions we all have.
  9. When I asked one insurance company why they did not cover guns they told me my house was a higher risk because criminals might brake in to steel my guns if they know I keep them at home. I replied.....well they may also think twice about braking in if they know I am armed! There was deadly silence....then, sorry we cannot help you....is there anything else I can help you with. No thanks bye. First thing I always ask before letting them get deep into their sales script is...do you cover guns.
  10. Yep..a lot of insurance companies will not (cover) insure guns, you always need to ask.
  11. Just waiting for someone to cut and paste the script from Monty Python's Four Yorkshire men.
  12. Yep...unless they are doing some real damage, had our first young pigeon on the bird table this week, the way I look at it now is these early young birds are my sport on the laid corn and stubbles latter in the summer.
  13. You had a sheltered life as a child then!
  14. Your postcode can make a big difference to your annual premium, this year 2016 we paid £201, for this we get Legal Cover, £1 million building cover with full accidental damage, £60k for general contents with a maximum of £1500 for any unspecified item away from home, this policy also gives me cover on specified (named) items away from the home up to £10k. Excesses are, escape of water £350, accidental damage £150, personal possessions away from the home £100. It was the best quote that also covered my guns as some insurance companies will not cover guns, Insurance company LV= Liverpool Victoria, I did this by phone as I like to ask questions to make sure everything is covered.

    My granddad made me one out of brass, think I still have it somewhere in the house, we used to play on the bomb site just up the road and build dens out of old corrugated sheets pinched from the scrap yard, there were also bins full of 10mm ball bearings we would load our pockets full of them and have raids on each others den, dangerous but fun when you are 10 years old, when I was about 14 we progressed onto banger guns made from copper pipe, highly dangerous but you did not see those dangers at that age.
  16. Paxman in Brussels: 'Who Really Rules Us?' watched this last night and Paxman was on true form and told it how it is, if you missed it.......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD4sSFq_nWg
  17. Don't think you need time in prison, just google 'snapping, bumping lock double glazed door.
  18. Try mixing some peppermint oil with Vaseline and smearing a light coating around the camera. Spiders apparently don't like Eucalyptus, we have one in our garden and I have never seen a spiders web on it so it must be true.
  19. Try this...http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Spider-Repellent-at-Home
  20. Looked fairly even to me, but who knows what happened in the undergrowth, will keep my eye out for any young squirabbs.
  21. Was out shooting a few rabbits that needed clearing from a small paddock next to the farm house, I was sat in the car waiting for them to pop out onto the field when a rabbit came flying out of the undergrowth followed by a squirrel they both run ten feet into the field and stopped then all hell let loose, fur was flying everywhere, they were fighting on and off for about ten minutes, they both disappeared back into the undergrowth but this time it was the rabbit doing the chasing. I've been shooting a long time and I have never witnessed this before, as anyone else witnessed a rabbit and squirrel fighting like this?
