I have now completed the rear diff oil change a couple of times, but last year I bought an Oil Suction Gun from Machine Mart, which I used last weekend to change the rear diff oil. I can confirm that it worked a treat, and I didn't drop any significant amount of oil, or have to become a...

I am deeply saddened to read this news. Plank had given great advice on a number of threads I had started. This, I believe, is a fairly tight knit online community, as well as being open and welcoming to all newcomers. Plank played a pivotal role in this, and as a long time member, and prolific...

Germany makes the rules, England obeys them, France ignores them. EEC... Good innit! Regards Alan

And it costs more to cross the Severn Bridges into Wales. Quite a bit more I think! Regards Alan

That's how I got to the rear manifold nut. Regards Alan

Changing the front pipe is a fiddly job, but not at all technical to do. The main issue I encountered when doing it was the three studs that attach it to the exhaust manifold. They were really rusty, and the last one I undid broke, which I was warned might happen. I got the old front pipe off...

Looks really good, and very purposeful. Nice one!! Regards Alan

These are very tempting, but I wouldn't have much more to spend than the starting bid, and I wouldn't want to insult you. I also need to look at finances, as I have more month left than money at the moment :) Thanks for getting back to me though. Regards Alan

Good luck with its inaugural flight. Look forward to some pictures at some point. Regards Alan

I am experiencing all of the same 'challenges' that you are with regards to settings. I have been practising with some scrap 2mm plate that I got from a local engineering firm on the cheap. I have a Clarke 150amp Gas/Gasless welder from Machine Mart, but the results I am getting from the gas...

Thanks for the replies to my question guys. Very helpful. Regards Alan

I am currently in the process of trying to learn to weld, and I would love to get to your standard at some point. Could you tell me where you source your repair material from, and what thickness of sheet you use? Regards Alan

Would these fit a 2001 Terrano with auto hubs then? Also would it be necessary to have different wheel nuts? Finally where are you (town/city)? Thanks Alan

Here's a thread I started sometime ago on heater problems. It may be worth a read through.. http://www.nissan4x4ownersclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6285 Regards Alan

Wow. That's really good then. I guess I need to keep practising. Look forward to seeing it in action. Regards Alan

I haven't commented on this project so far, but it looks really good! Are you a welder by trade? Regards Alan

Could you keep the battery supplied with them, and use an inverter? This might be a clumsy solution though. Regards Alan

Cool... Wheel bearing download. I'm looking forward to that one! Thanks Alan

After saving up for some time I finally bought myself a mig welder before Christmas from Machine Mart. I have messed about with it, and managed to stick some 2mm sheet together, with some limited success, but I think I need some pointers regarding settings and wire types etc. The welder I...

Have you tried some form of capillary action i.e. a length of clean rope, or cloth, which could be placed in the container to the depth of the liquid you want to recover, with the other end in the container you are decanting it into (possibly lower as in your picture). This might also provide an...
