  1. You can get clear roofing silicone, worked a treat on the leak in my shed roof. Just make sure it's external grade.
  2. On the expansion vessel, there is a valve (same as the ones on your car) press it and if water comes out you know it's full up, Should have a label on it with the correct pressures, both max and pre-charged pressure - Easy to top up with a foot pump, 2bar sounds about right, otherwise replace the vessel. But first try isolating the flow/return valves under the boiler after re-pressurising, leave it for a while with the boiler turned off and it will let you know if the boiler has an internal leak through the exchanger or if it's somewhere else on the system. If the PRV (Pressure relief valve) has discharged there will be water on the wall outside or if it's faulty maybe a drip.. Obviously, you should not remove the boiler covers for further investigation, have a look on the Gas Safe website and call around a couple of engineers, ask if anyone is happy to come have have a look without a call-out charge. Good Luck.
  3. As topic title: Looking for a BSA Lightning XL or similar, ideally with walnut stock, would consider 1.77 or 2.2, would consider anything decent with break-barrel loading. Would be interested in a gun with scope, sleeve, accessories - ready to go! or just a plain gun. F2F preferred, collection possible nr Exeter or Oxford (Possibly Lancashire) cash waiting! or w.h.y?
  4. Same thing happened to me, interview done in 2 weeks, unfortunately that was 14 weeks ago.......
  5. Davva

    cracked hands

    DEB Barrier cream before & DEB Restore cream after......... My hands used crack and bleed from drying out working, until I started using the DEB range.
  6. VW make Skodas, Miroku make Brownings..... MMMmmmmm (Belgium make "real" Brownings)
  7. If I lived close enough to collect, I'd buy that and sell it on Ebay and make a tidy profit!!
  8. Park it in a narrow street near a bus route and fingers crossed!!!!
  9. Lorry drivers have to eat as well, great if you're a food delivery drive, not so great if you've got a load of coal etc...
  10. If my licence arrives before I die (unlikely) - I'll have it!
  11. Ladds in Crediton. He recommended a Prestige, one he'd just taken in P/X but I didn't like the wood.... Browning Grade 5 and Miroku Grade 5 are NOT the same.... not that I have seen anyway, the Miroku 5 is amazing! Ermmmmm Maybe I mis-understood him... He's offered an hour fit/shoot/chat on Friday - I will clarify.
  12. Nice gun, easy to use, small recoil, tough as old boots - Sound investment.
  13. The engraving is amazing on the 525 action and quite plain on the Miroku - It was his suggestion, I hadn't even thought about the bits being interchangeable.. Just basically making the gun I wanted from 3 others, can't imagine it's very cost effective for him or me, but I'll find out friday!
  14. Now listed on ebay starting @ £45 - Please PM me for a link to the auction or search Moretti Shower Chrome. Thanks
  15. Had a long chat with my local gunsmith today - Looks like the best fit for me is a 525 Sporter/MK70 Sporter with a small adjustment bend to be done on the stock for a perfect fit. He then started talking about fitting my favourite Miroku MK38 Grade 6 wood to a Browning 525 prestige gun and Miroku Teagued 32" barrels, which would be "best choice" gun once the stock was bent........ Confusing! Just waiting for a price!
  16. WHAT???? :blink: How badly advertised was that??? Knew nothing about it!
  17. Unfortunately, the only Pigeons I see, fly over my house.... there's hundreds of the flying rats... Can't shoot a single one of them!
  18. I can't really help much as I am almost useless, but I do know a man with a burger van who may be interested in supplying some grub & I would be prepared to buy a ticket for a Devon fair and have some ££ to spend at the show!!
  19. I saw a Kestrel pick up a road kill pigeon today....... It was really cool, unfortunately, I can hardly believe it myself, so thought I'd post it on the lies thread!!!!
  20. You haven't lived until you have a tropical Pike!!!!!
