[96terrano]

Just taken my truck to my friend Gail to have her bro look at the rot and he's pissed with the garage that tested it on the mot. But he's gonna weld it for me won't cost me as I'm doing the prep work:thumb2. So I'm going to cut the rotten bits out of my truck tomorrow. Mr grinder is gonna come out to play

For safety's sake tie your hair back when using any power tool.
I am not having a go, but a friend of mine was using one of those flexible shaft/ chuck for an electric drill, and he didn't notice how close his hair was.
His hair wrapped around the drill shaft and so was part of his scalp. He had to go to hospital for stitches, and he was said to be lucky.:doh:doh

When working on anything electrical, I never wear rings or metal watch straps for obvious reasons.

best regards,

Rustic

This is a very good point, sorry for the gore below but this is what can happen if a ring gets snagged and won't slide off.
Actually, I've decided to makes the images into links and the are pretty nasty;

Yes I actually do, also I use propper ear defenders, goggles and gloves, I may act daft but with power tools, health and safety ALWAYS comes first in my books. No joke its somthing I take very seriously.

Sorry, I'm not actually going to look as its the sort of thing thatll make me feel ill and it'll play on my mind.

I can't stand gore, that's why if my mums ever watching hospital programs dad and I will leg it to the other end of the house.

My mate mark caught his thumb when grinding and severed a tendon. I nearly puked when he told me. His ok I hasten to add

I love you idea of tyre depth inspection whilst still sitting in the car, great idea for long mileage trips.
You can see you are good for 10 k miles there, and you didn't even have to move from your seat.:thumbs

Not sure it will catch on, but if off roading, you can see if those grooves in the tyres really do throw out the mud.:doh

How will you inspect the front tyres? :lol:lol:lol

No Offense the MOT can pass it aslong as it's not within 30cm of a structural point and can only put FINGER pressure on the rot.

You have too much faith in the MOT. But surely the guy who fixed a ton of stuff for you before the MOT should of spotted it??

Front tyres you say, well the same way as the back obviously :lol

I think mine has backed a few boats into the sea in its life, and NO underseal to protect it.
