  2. Overfilled Gas?

    My 7kg Calor butane ran out yesterday so I got a replacement from a local garage,when I hooked it up the gas was coming out of the hob so fast it was blowing out some of the jets and relighting constantly. If I lowered the control slightly it burned a bit more evenly but if I turned to the...
  3. Recommend Glue?

    Last year I got a roll of GRP approx 3mm thick (that's really thin in imperial),I've sheeted in the back of the horsebox with OSB board and used CT1 to glue the GRP to it. I wasn't happy with it at the time as some of the glue skinned off before I could get the sheet fitted and it didn't grab...

    I've just been given a brand new tyre for my truck,I checked the date on it and my brand new tyre is actually 9 years old but in new condition.
