seconds. When we tried again it wh ...

bills. I was then passed on to a supervisor who wanted my credit card
number "for identification". Needless to say, I declined. The line
then went dead, but someone called back. ...

Refurbishing a van seat - possible ?
Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:40:08 +0000
HI Folks
Wondered if anybody had experience of refurbishing a car/van seat.
The driver's seat on my recently-purchased '05 Pug Partner van
has been well 'sat out' - it looks as if it should be possible to
replace just the foam 'squab' (is that the right word??) -
but I'm caution of taking on one of those jobs t ...

Motorised valves - open when power off
Thu, 29 Oct 2009 04:25:28 -0700 (PDT)
I need some 28 mm motorised valves that are open when there is no
power rather than closed as is more usual.
I don't suppose I can get them from eBay, but need to do a Google
search. Trouble is, I'm not sure what they're proper name is to
search on. Can anyone help, or give me any links to sites where I
could ...

Undoing a spring clamp
Thu, 29 Oct 2009 03:30:27 -0700 (PDT)
Some of the water hoses in my car are clipped on with spring clamps. I
want to unclip them to replace the hoses but they are inaccessible and
I can't use pliers or vicegrips because there is no room. I can barely
see the clamps so I'll have to do it by feel.
I can't see a suitable tool that has a photo big enough ...
