scorch Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Just destroyed my m700 outer barrel. And quite possibly broken my finger in the process. Lesson learnt, don't try to do things with handheld power tools that should really be done on a lathe. Oh well. 9 other fingers to work with. Link to post Share on other sites

DeltaZero Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 My car has developed a strange rattle above 2200rpm. I can’t find it. It’s driving me crazy. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 It's not a mini without a strange rattle! Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 engine speed related, road speed related, or unrelated to any speed and just present from 2200rpms? Link to post Share on other sites
Gunnman Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Some *albatross* pulled my mailbox out of the ground. So, I put concrete down this time. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I'm going to contribute to the Audi drivers being pillocks. I'm about to leave a carpark and some dithering idiot is trying to come through the exit. I already have my window down and point out the no entry sign. By the look on their face it was as if I had asked them to multiply 712345 x 17. Another one decides to just swing out on the road after being parked on the pavement. As I was parallel to them. Oncoming lane thankfully empty so I was able to swerve into it. Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 It's not a mini without a strange rattle! Not the mini unfortunately my trusty Fiesta. It’s 140k in and going strong so I guess I can forgive its small issues. Still pissing me off! The Mini is peachy, no crazy noises other than the insane exhaust. engine speed related, road speed related, or unrelated to any speed and just present from 2200rpms? Unrelated to speed as it does it in any gear at the same RPM. Unsure if it occurs when not moving as I haven’t had the chance to try. Hopefully it does so I can get my wife to Rev and I can locate it! Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Fortnite sucks and I'm a bit angry. Also, the weather sucks too and I have a headache. Link to post Share on other sites

shmook Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 My guess is a heat shield. I've seen it on a few vehicles now. Drives you insane... Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 ###### in the door pockets. clear them out. Nope can’t be that I keep the car spotless they’re empty save for a bottle of water! My guess is a heat shield. I've seen it on a few vehicles now. Drives you insane... Could be I guess but it’s coming from front of the car. I have the MoT coming up and gave it a pretty thorough once over, no loose bolts etc nothing chaffing or touching etc. Hopefully I can work it out when we get back from Wales! But for now there is rallying to watch! Haha Link to post Share on other sites

Tinkerton Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Yep. horrifying things. I mean, there's got to be a better way to prevent the underseal / sound deadening / interior of the car from setting on fire, right? Link to post Share on other sites

I mean they never seem to be fastened adequately to be secure for any length of time! The woman is upset because I can "do everything". What's my next move guys? Do nothing. At all.

hitmanNo2 Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 It's a trap. You're *fruitcage*ed either way. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 The woman is upset because I can "do everything". What's my next move guys? Strangulation and taxidermy. Some people really shouldn't test their luck with phrases like that. Also, the weather's killing me, I have no idea what to have for dinner and I overslept, so I'm stuck at work until 5:15. And now, power outage across the block. Time to go shopping. Tapped out with Tapatalk. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 The woman is upset because I can "do everything". What's my next move guys? Tell her to "Git Gud". Remind her that there is something you can't do, work out how to respond to that slice of insanity. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 It was the sewing machine that did it. She threw a strop because I can sew. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Pick something you don't really like that is something she is not fully aware of your ability to do it and half *albatross* it. Then offer her the chance to try and do a better job. Win, win. Though if she sees through your ruse, you'll probably be in even more trouble. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Wait, there are some people that can't sew? Also, general warning. This is not a threat - this is a statement. Double posting is not OK. You can edit your own posts to add extra information should you wish. There's a little word next to 'MultiQuote' and 'Quote' that says 'Edit'. PRESS BUTTAN, CHANGE TEXTS. Next double, triple, or greater than solo post gets the offender a weeks free holiday from Arnies. Link to post Share on other sites
