first thing to hit the tarmac was my head lol... I am going home they are going to try conservative approach first - put in a sling and wait to see if it will start to bond on its own. Then back to fracture clinic in 2 weeks to see if its worked as there is no nerve damage and with everything...

Seriously bad news guys. As I am wobbly on my feet, I unfortunately fell badly earlier, now currently in Walsall Manor A&E Xray shows a severe break in the humurus, Upper arm, just below where my shoulder implant was done. Complicated by osteoarthritis, and thinning of the bones, is going...

Battery charging regime looks close to normal, but if the battery is old and tired, it won't provide the cranking amps. If you can monitor the battery voltage whilst starting, that might indicate a tired battery. Try parking the vehicle the other way around, ie nose down, this might show an...

Fantastic :thumb2

My MkI mav is the same, so in the days well before penny pinching was the norm. No hint of Renault in the influencing stages then.:doh I have removed the bolt and greased it once or twice, but wonder if they felt a nipple in that position was too exposed to being sheared off, if in close...

How will people communicate with each other? I will be checking emails, and PM's If I know some of you have arrived, or planning to go to a pub, I could drop in there. As I have said by 8:30 I am usually heading for the wooden hills lol. :doh Sat / Sun I could arrange to meet the remainder...

In the the same area there is a Home Bargains type place, Lloyds Chemist, Aldi as you enter the area, plenty of takeaways down the main high street. If you happen to be in Tesco at Hednesford, when at the check out, have a look out of the huge windows, in front of you, you won't find a better...

A lot of LED lamps are rated at 12 volts DC, intended for a regulated supply of 12.0 Volts, and not 14.4 Volts that our trucks can run on. Domestic LED lamps are just typical, when the original lamps were 12 volt halogen, the high current lowered the supply so a nominal 12 -12.5 volts is seen...

Hi and welcome to the forum. It would be nice to see some pics of your truck lol. There are probably more posts on how to replace sills and replace the sills with steel box section, than any other subject. There are loads of project threads tackling this issue with great photos and hints and...

We are petrol outboard boaters, but I am aware of diesel bug, and the proprietary chemicals sold in chandleries are very effective. The bug is like a gel and blocks filters and fuel lines. The bug lives in the layer between the fuel and the water. I cannot recommend a particular brand, but most...

My Mav hasn't done a great deal this year, but I do start it every 6-8 weeks, but also run the windscreen washer pumps, and head light washer pump, as just before the MOT, the rear washer pump had seized up, lack of use... Checked it out today, all fine. Aiming to take her for a run this...

I am totally overwhelmed by everyone's enthusiasm to this event. Castle ring, I know well, Park gate too but not been in there for a while. I have pushed back my infusion a week, so it is after the weekend event... otherwise it knocks me about for the next 4 days, so chances of me making this...

I had to change mine a few years back, for a longer one, as the old one didn't reach the oil.:eek: :lol:lol:lol In truth, I had to buy a new dipstick for the picasso, as that genuinely stopped reaching the oil, as 2" of the lower plastic end broke off, in the engine somewhere... A new dip...

I buy a few electronic modules and components from the far east, and have never paid a penny in import duties. I guess the sales price is below the threshold to trigger import duties. If I need say 5+ items, I would place 5 orders, from more than one company if appropriate. I would never buy...
