    Are you all ready for Christmas?

    It’s ‘Christmas’ not ‘Xmas’. Humbug, humbug. It starts on the 25th of December, not before, for a period of 12 days and that’s it. Humbug, humbug. I hate it as people feel the need to spend ridiculous amounts of money and demand things they want rather than appreciate a gift that someone has...

    I do treat myself to fish’n’chips when I’m working on Hayling Island as two of my customers there both live within 100 metres of a chip shop and one of the chippies has a patisserie next door...

    How hungry have you been at work????????????????????/

Lunch will be the same as what I had for dinner (tea if you’re northern) the evening before. Piece of fruit mid-afternoon When rustling up my evening meal I make...

    Coffee lovers - battery machines

    Life is too short to drink any form of gopping instant coffee I used to use a cafietere but they didn't last due to being of a somewhat fragile nature, so I now use an AeroPress. I'm normally ribbed by other trades for making a posh coffee, and I'll even ask a customer what sort of coffee...

    Tools stolen and ways of tracing them back...!!!

    I invested in Smart Water and have marked ALL of my tools in the van including screwdrivers, storage boxes and drill bits. If the van gets turned over and stuff vanishes then it can be returned to its rightful owner and anything, no matter how small, could be used to incriminate the felon...

    Torque screwdriver !!!!!

    I have a Draper Torque Screwdriver, with its selection of bits, which is kept in my toolbag for use where a specified torque is required. Lewden switchgear has the torque figure printed on. If it’s printed in the manufacturers instruction leaflet but not on the switchgear then I’ll print a label...

    Best TV on demand combos for cheapest??

    I've got a FreeSat box as I was fed up with the constant price hikes from Sky to pay for prima donnas kicking a ball around a field.

    Is it a basic Foxwell which only reads the generic OBD2 codes or can it read specific manufacturer codes? Get hold of (Mongoose) JLR SDD and a cable which will allow you access to full dealer level diagnostics and module programming etc. which may help substantially more...

    Hi Tony Maybe post the question on an automotive forum or if it’s a car from VAG (who use the Haldex system) then get hold of VAGCOM which is a pretty good diagnostic tool

    battery drain help needed

    Have you added any accessories recently? When did this issue start and were there any modifications just before? Does it have an alarm/immobiliser fitted?
