If it all goes wrong obviously that will be be because you did not follow the instructions properly. Edited By V8Eng on 16/01/2021 14:47:59 |
Thread: Disposable Gas Bottles |

Having several empty 600grm and 2.2L Argon / CO2 bottles hanging around, I took them to the local "re-cycling" centre where they were refused. Was told to return them to vendor. Arrived at vendor to be told, no return without receipt of purchase ! Also I had other bottles from unknown vendors. I now have the problem of disposal - Do you have the same problem in the UK?

Nick’s idea looks interesting as well. Edited By V8Eng on 16/01/2021 11:50:54 |

While this is very impressive, you can see it was done over many takes with presumably outtakes like this: Plus, the battery life must be really short. So, at the moment, they can only conquer those of us who live within extension cable reach of Boston Dynamics!

Apologies for going slightly off topic, but I think relevant, what do users of Avo 8s do nowadays about the special 15volt battery that it used? I switched to DMMs probably 25 years ago because I could no longer obtain that battery. Also as others have said its too big for table top use. Phil I have an old AVO (not sure which model) have not used it for years and am sure it used a total of 3 batteries. I think BLR154 15v Alkaline Batteries are available and advertised as replacements for the original. Edited By V8Eng on 30/12/2020 12:22:35 |
Thread: A Certain Age |
29/12/2020 13:30:04 |
I seem to have reached an age (76) where middle aged people think that I need blessing. They say “bless you” or even worse “ah bless” when I do something pretty normal in life. I find this demeaning and irritating, if I wanted blessing then I would find a competent person to do it (unlikely anyway). Shortly I am pretty sure one of these people will find out that I know nearly as many swear words as their children do! Edited out auto smileys! Edited By V8Eng on 29/12/2020 13:32:09 |

Gentlemen, I've treated myself to a small hit and miss open crank engine, it has a tiny spark plug similar to those that are fitted to model aircraft engines, can anybody point me towards a plug cap that I can use instead of the current method of jamming the wire to the plug by plastic tube.

Have you checked your cookie settings? I find online ordering can be very fussy about that. Although I tend to think an error message might appear if that is the issue. Edited By V8Eng on 11/12/2020 23:34:14 |

She cooks my tea I suspect not for much longer if she sees this😢 No problem, she's not referred to as "The Enemy" for nothing! We get on very well, I do as I'm told and everything is fine... Yes I am also well aware of my place in the pecking order (and I like a quiet life)🤐 Edited By V8Eng on 05/12/2020 11:35:03 |

Thread: Speed limiters for cars from 2022? |

Posted by Speedy Builder5 on 04/12/2020 13:22:29:
I thought the UK was leaving the EU ? EU ruling means speed limiters will be mandatory in the UK by 2022.
I have also read that the U.K. will still be implementing it after leaving (can’t find that article). Edited By V8Eng on 04/12/2020 13:39:08 |

Yes 2022 is the year it all happens link here to an article:- Speed bumps are intrusively noisy if you live in a house near one also some people seem to try and see how fast they can drive over them.
