  1. Most standard mobility scooters have rear axles that are of the diff type so will spin a wheel once you get to soft ground, the one in the picture looks to have a motor on each rear wheel so will be better off road. Don’t know if you can weld a diff on them but could be fun to try, only other difference is the wider wheels over a normal scooter which would not be too hard to swap over from a small ride on mower or something like that with a adapter plate. 

  2. Just had a look on my account and last sold something on Sunday and the money had been transferred and in my account by Monday eve so it looks like it goes out quite quickly these days. 
    it might be a struggle but eBay should have to refund you even if they have to pay out of there own pockets and then chase the seller for the money, I have never had to do this for this amount of money but it it’s been sent back they should refund you once you open a case. My advice would be to get on the chat function and just keep pushing them until they do it.

  3. As soon as you open a case against the seller there transaction is reversed and eBay hold the money until it’s sorted, at least that’s what has happened to me in the past and it’s in there sign up terms that they can raid your bank account for whatever it wants so I set up a new account with limited funds in to make sure if there was ever a hacking they could not rinse me for all my pennies 

  4. I got a pressure washer that has a faulty pump and got another one of the same type second hand and it works a treat but it does not seem to have a conventional unloader valve and I’m sick of tripping up over the hose on it! Question is is there some sort of pressure relief valve type thing on this unit or should I strip it all off and put an unloaded on it? It seems to go from the top bank to the bottom suggesting it does something to release the pressure but have never seen a setup like this, pics of old pump and new one below.

  5. My first one was an early version and had a fixed top hat and then my later one has the grub screw. 
    I don’t know how the fixed valve went together but I would think if the whole top of the bottle came off then someone at some point has been in there messing around with it so might be worth a full strip down of the valve and see what’s going on as the top hat should not be free. 
    it could explain the circlip to try and reduce the valve opening if someone has tried to up the power in the past.

  6. The valve is in the gun, it shouldn’t be so it must have been screwed on so tight the bottle came off. Looks like a total nightmare to sort if you cannot get the valve out of the gun, you could possibly try threadlocking it back on and seeing if it will then unscrew with the valve in the bottle.

  7. If you can be bothered then splitting the clay and game cartridges will probably be a better option if you want to get the most money. 
    there is too many factors at play with auctions to say what to do, some will charge if unsold so putting a high reserve and having it go through the auction a few times is better for the auction house so it costs you more and you have to factor in what commission they charge for you and the buyer, what are you happy with after they take say 30% off the total for you and they are putting 30% on top of the sale price for the buyer to factor in also. 
    if you have a price in mind then selling privately on a forum like this can be a good option also as cartridge prices are quite high at the moment and they seem to sell really quickly without hassle. 

  8. Traditionally it used to be free access from 4pm until 10am for delivery’s and the Main Street could be driven onto with no barriers outside of that time and the odd old dear would make that mistake and used to be quite funny. Haven’t worked in York for years now so some form of barrier is probably a good idea. We used to comment about if someone drove a stolen truck down coney street on Christmas Eve they would kill hundreds of people but these days I hear it’s pretty quiet.
