I love onions but leaks take the pish...

[mrzigazaga]

Hi Peeps..Went out to try to bleed my water system again but i think its inevitable that the rad needs recoring as about 3/4 of it is not even getting warm...I also have the petrol leak back again and it just drips about every 5 seconds..The power steering pump is leaking from somewhere and i dont know where, I had it refurbed a while back but think its one of the pipes.. Then my washing machine packed up and now that is leaking from the connector on the main feed..Im not going to have the money to sort my car out for about 4 weeks so im stuck as its my only car..I wont be able to visit my poor old disabled mum who relies on me getting her perscriptions from the doc..and i absolutely hate pubic transport..(I left the L out on purpose)..Just another st day in the life of me...cheers..Ziga

Mark

With all your published problems and your claim of being near to poverty, I would have thought you were not to worried about replacing your spoiler?

Due to the weather and other more important matters I have not got my spare spoiler out to photo for you. I will if weather and time allows over the next couple of days!

Hi mate..Its my front spoiler but the way things are going i might just have to repair mine..Its just awkward without a darage..I cant really do that kind of thing on the roadside..

[carob]

Do you not have any garden space Mark?

Rob

[mrzigazaga]

Nope..I live in a converted victorian house and im upstairs..I could climb out through the skylight on do it on the roof..

[carob]

We have something called Spannerit up here, garage space and tools you can hire for a small price. Is there anything like that down your way?

Or a mate with a bit of spare garage space for the day. Does the front valance not detatch, you could do it in doors!

Rob

[mrzigazaga]

Apparently there is a garage facility called pit stop and they rent out their space for about £20 per hour and you have full use of tools..I have a mate with a garage that i could use but the car is not mobile at the mo and he rides a motorcycle..With one seat...Plus i wouldnt want to be grinding and sanding fibreglass indoors..That st is dangerous..Flammable dust too..

[carob]

You have breakdown & Recovery... Tow it up the road and get it recovered to your mates garage...Or detatch and send to body shop for repair...Done many a fibre glass repair indorrs and still here to tell the tale...

Rob

[mrzigazaga]

I suppose at a push i could do it indoors..Its quite a bit of work though..

[carob]

Indoors not a problem, window open, and plenty of wet & dry. After all if a bodysop was to do it that would be inside. Just get yourself some dust masks. Slow build up and a steady rub down as you go. Give it a go nothing to loose.

Rob

[mrzigazaga]

Just need to get a bit of cash and collar one of me mates to give me a lift to the shop to get the bits..Which is easier said then done..You know who your friends are when you ask for a bit of help..Suddenly they are all busy..

[carob]

Good luck Mark, when you get round to sorting it, chop it out square and bulid up from the bottom up over. Take your time and allow plenty of time between cure periods, key is dont rush. The more time you take on the prep and the build up the less time you spend on the rub and finish.

Chin up mate you will get there in the end.

Rob
