OT ?? Suggestions wanted for straightening out a trailer frame
Tue, 29 Jul 2008 00:10:53 -0700 (PDT)
The wooden floor was rotten, so I took off all the sides
to replace it. I now have the metal skeleton of the trailer,
a square with an A frame at the front with the tow hitch,
and four angle iron uprights, one at each corner of the
square. I've noticed that the back offside upright leans
outwards, it's 1 inch wid ...

My family have a fair number of electrical devices ranging from mobile
phones to electronic games to fridges, all of which lend themselves to
being able to be powered or charged on the road by a 12V cigarette

Hi All,
A mate is trying to sort an Avensis, if you slowly take the revs up to
about 3k it starts dropping and rasing it's revs, like a boy racer

He's scoped the injectors and they are definatly cutting in and out
(with the drop / raise in revs).
The camshaft sensor che ...

E39 M5 - Power steering whine
Mon, 28 Jul 2008 09:10:57 +0000 (UTC)
Makes a whining / grinding sort of noise, mainly when the car is turning hard
right. Hoses have all been changed, fluid has been bled. Is it time for a
new power steering pump? I hope it's not the bloody Servotronic box, that's a
git to get to, and I imagine it's not cheap either. Car has 125000 miles. ...

Curious tyre sqeal yesterday
Mon, 28 Jul 2008 09:24:52 +0100
Headed off to the lake at 7am yesterday to persecute some carp at which I
failed miserably and only managed to catch a couple of skimmer bream. When

drove home. On the way back the tyres started squealing like stuck pigs on
left handers ...

I've acquired a Ford Fusion with 89000 on the clock.
The Ford Service Checksheet gives 150,000 or ten year to renew the cam belt.
Is this a realistic target or should I be looking to renew it sooner.
