Boilers ... I get someone in to give it it';s annual health check, and it's going to cost me £500 to patch it up. £200 last year, and it's 8 years old.
I know where this is going. New boiler time. Otherwise it'll be the pump, the fan, etc. etc. and I wioll be throwing good money after bad.
Plans for an RC fleet reshuffle for 2017 have just been wiped out.

I'll prob go for one of these next. Normal plumber fit job.

They don't need the top removed to clean them, great idea, isolate, remove magnet, flush from the pressure of the system using the drain off, job done, now I hate magnacleans & there bloody leaking o rings!!
-
Powerflush & a mag filter is being pushed my the manufacturers, if it's not done they try to weasel out of a warranty claim it's on the benchmark (filled out on job completion) so it's a must really. There is even a section in the new vaillant manual where they ask you to test the water after a powerflush to check if it's clean enough!
again, another get out clause imo.

I hate E-Bay time wasters. Guy buys a CY motor I had on sale. I send an invoice after 3 days with no pay. I send a message after 5 days. Nothing. No payment, no contact. Finally, after a week...'I don;t want it anymore....sorry. Can I cancel'. NO you damn well can't. Don't want to buy...THEN DON'T BID! Make a mistake...don't wait a week to say so, or you might find a non payment case happens.

N it's only today that I'm starting to feel a bit better, n I hope that I've not just jinxed myself by saying that!!! Coz I said it the other week and then the next day I'm laid up back in bed again mate!!! So my fingers n toes are crossed!!
About the guy off eBay, total messer Nitro and that's one of the main reasons that I don't like to use eBay pal!! Only when I've got no other choice really is about the only time I will use it bruv!! How's your hand etc now??

Good to hear you're feeling better I'm fighting fit with nothing worse than a new scar for the collection. Finished the job that did the damage and am now busily engaged stripping the bike engine down to it's basic components. Selling stuff on E-Bay to cover the £70 for a gasket set....or I wouldn't be using it either.

Windows 10 .... why, since the last update...have you messed up my sound! Constant volume fluctuations which I can 'fix' by toggling effects on and off.....every day!
Well..suppose it could be worse. It could be a hardware fault. But I could at least fix that permanently. Googling it seems to show it's quite a common issue. Trying to work out now which update did the damage to roll it back

I work in IT and turn off fast boot - fixes 90% of windows 10 issues I get called to. your computer will take a bit longer to boot.

* note after the big updates you will have to redo this.

I stuck with Win7 for ages - bought and built more machines than I kept track of. Resisted the Win10 upgrade till the last min (for the free 'upgrade') and bar my recent issue with homegroup being removed, touch wood, i've had no real problems at all - in fact the only other niggle I recall was onedrive and win10 not playing ball in the early days of win10 - and MS we're quick to get that sorted obv.
Will bear in mind the fast start up thing though. ta

1 week in...currently in an internet cafe in Alice Springs...off to spend 3 days in the bush tomorrow! Wish I had the Baja....there are some great places I could have run it....
-
Aargh.... project inspiration failure! I have messed about with so many ideas for the rear end of my cage, it#s making my head hurt. I don;t like ANY of them! Desperately in need of inspiration
-
Another bash due sunday Damage to the Baja from the last NLB is all fixed. New front suspension arm, new front shock tower and GH alloy shock supports. Also fitted Vertigo brake setup, so it ought to stop a bit better now! Might even test drive the project Hyper if the servo arrives in time.

Anyone got some good ship plans I can scale up to 1:1....while I go collect 2 of every kind of animal I can find?

At last....a World Cup Final goal....

Back from 3 days in teh bush, camping ( without tents) and walking around in the desert, looking at the worlds biggest rock. Flew down to Cairns and swimming on the Barrier Reef next Missing you guys....honest
-
Baja ate it's clutch spring last bash, but a new one is already fitted and se will be back in action in a day or so after I finish cleaning the muck off! Boy...was she filthy. Now just fighting hte stupidly cold temperatures to do the other jobs I need to do. It's damn cold and isn;t even forecast to snow. Thats just not sporting
-
Baja tested and running well. New base gasket fitted. Just need to re-torque the bolts as they settle in and fix the shell that fell apart! Snapped where all Baja shells do under the fuel filler
-
Buzzin hornet Just picked up the new ride...CB900 Hornet. 140 miles back from Ripley and shes a little cracker.
-
Chung Yang....y u so awkward! I want to buy a 27cc 4 bolt motor, and am trying to confirm if they are 34mm bore 30mm stroke, or 35mm bore 28mm stroke. Every website lists the former for the F270...except CY's own one! So which is it! They stopped stamping the info on and just stamp F270 in all the pics I can find too. No fair!
-
Come ON DPD man....between 15:36 and 16:36 I should be getting my Anderson M5 in lovely KTM orange! Can't go home until it gets here

Congrats to Danny Kent...first British world motorcycle champ since Barry Sheene. Good run up to the big one later on....
-
Curse....foiled by the fates! My Kemora has ended up posted to the wrong address Still...Modelspor have sorted the problem and I should have it tomorrow. Another days wait...and it will be mine
-
Cyclists....I give up. Watched one wobble through a red light, then proceed to cycle along the middle of the road at around 10mph. On a motorcycle...I go to pass him on the inside as there is a whole lane, and I assume he is going to turn right. He doesn't...instead he wobbles back to the inside. As I am waiting at the next lights he decides to lecture me on 'undertaking'....And they wonder my they have a bad reputation in London. I did the decent thing and pointed out that fat bl...

Do i sell my brushless NQD jetboat to fund a new project....I haven't even got the thing wet all summer. I blame the council for not looking after the local pond.
-
Finally got around to fitting the IRC rear plate on the Baja. Good job I did...when I stripped down the driveline I found the outer bearing on the pinion was on the verge of collapse. Outer shield was detached, and the pinion was very floppy. Changed out both bearings and shimmed up some slack while I was at it. Would have been messy if that had let go.....
-
finally got around to putting up the feedback from all the stuff I have bought over the last couple of weeks. Didn't realise the list had got so long Must stop spending....but I own a Baja, so that ain't gonna happen!
-
Finally happy with the tune on the Thunder Tiger ST-1...25% Byrons and a few vents in the shell. Had the power but she was a tad warm. Now she has unglued both front tyres I am liking this Rb .28ST motor...it's a perfect match for the ST-1!
-
Fine morning...off work...sun shining...time to get the cars out thought I...so I did! Blown a steering servo on the Savage, lost a driveshaft grubscrew on the Kyosho, and teh screen has failed on the FlySky GT3B. Couple of hours well spent
-
For all those 1/5 owners who don;t think they need a remote killswitch..... had my throttle servo die on todays bash on it's first run just as I buried the throttle. Car stays flat out. Click. Stop. No drama. Can happen anytime, and if you don;t have one...your expensive 5th scale only stoips when it runs out of fuel or hits something solid. And it takes a long time to run out of fuel.....
-
For all those members busy posting OFF TOPIC posts in a certain for sales thread...and I do have a list of who you were... I suggest you re-read the rules. Whilst busily trashing a new members advert for breaking the rules...you were breaking the rules too. I have had to waste the last half hour of my life tidying up the mess you left. Thanks a lot.....

For those who have never read the SALES RULES, I suggest you read the bit about 'not using Status to promote your sales.....
