  1. Been struck down with the flu :(

      Hope it’s just a bad cold and you’re well again soon.  The proper flu takes a few weeks to get over.

  2. Just swapped bathroom light for an LED one and checked wiring in roof first.  Earth cable was tucked under junction box, switched live wasn't sleeved and the switched live to the extractor fan wasn't clamped down, was just resting in the terminal...

      Found this little unearthed beauty recently in the bathroom.. Was installed about two feet from the shower head. :scared:

       

      Last original light fitting left in the new house. Proper LED bathroom light now fitted.

      Mottled paint then more botched sharpie “detailing”

      I think it’s someone’s attempt at a special effect paint finish. An attempt that didn’t quite work out.  :scared:

      Mine said I would have to wait until the 8th to escalate to a claim but thought I’d give it a try now.

      I’ve tried making escalating the case to a claim but just get the message “Hang on we’re still reviewing your case and will get back to you soon”

      Same price as UK for the RTR. The kit version is over a hundred quid but is the same as the RTR but minus the radio.  :017:

      Not surprised they’ve gone at that price. EU shipping isn’t that bad though and doesn’t take too long.

      Couldn’t resist ordering an RTR Desert Fox. Silly price of 42 quid delivered. Not the greatest perhaps but at that price It’ll do and I have tyres and shocks that will fit. :thumbsup:

  17. Well that's something new... On the way to the shop in the car, finally after digging it out, see something coming up the side of the road, due to 'blizzard' conditions we couldn't tell what it was, some guy on a snow machine!

    Now THAT is styling it to the shop and back :lol:  

    1. johninderby

      johninderby

      It’s not my driving in the snow (used to live in Montreal and Toronto) that’s the problem but the amount of idiots with no clue as to how to drive in the snow that keeps me off the roads on a day like this. Don’t need an idiot sliding into me.

  24. Anybody else had there 1060 brushed esc posted ? , my eBay is now saying item removed , but this has not been shipped as yet .

      Lack of proof of posting should be enough to start a claim. I’ve asked for that from the seller with no reply yet.
