Only when I look at the Skye!  Got rid of the Volvo V70 today. Non-stop interuptions throughout the week, still turned into a 20-hour job to sort the clutch and all the other bits it needed for its MoT on the way. I had to take a risk on the DMF, not a happy decision as the thing was a bit slack laterally, but no problems on the drive into the workshop and no problems back out on the new clutch. I still had to dive back under the bonnet this afternoon before hand-over; something wasn't quite right about the steering column cassette (squib unit) on full LH lock, so I took the pragmatic route and put the column a turn clockwise at the steering straightahead. I had to loosen the steering coupling when I dropped the subframe, but forgot that I had moved the steering rack slightly whilst I was doing the O/S tie-rod inboard joint, so made the wrong direction call initially when I found the coupling wasn't aligned. I'll sleep easier tonight knowing that the cassette isn't about to self-destruct on left handers! The re-test was nice and smooth, and thankfully no SRS lamps on the dash.... |

People reckon arc eye is like waking up at 2am in the morning and someone has put sand in your eyes!
I have done lots of welding over 30years and never had it!
Proper welding in stainless tanks with arc flash from other welders working at the same time!
Plus real high amp arc gouging running off diesel sets.
The worst welding injury I have had is a bit of sunburn round my neck when welding overhead.
I have also had the odd burn when using a thermic lance blowing out digger arm pins.
Think I must had mastered the art of nodding down a mask before I arc up!

Don't do what I did over the Xmas break; Went out to play with the Rover P2 '10 on the 27th December, basically welding a tubular structure inside what is left of the tinwork to jig and jack the whole lot straight. Reach round for the gas bottle tap to turn it on......."Who's left the gas turned-on?", I ask my mate........ Full-sized bottle of Argoshield / Cougar5 (or whatever Air Products calls their gas for MIG) that I bought fresh in before Xmas for this project (well, for the business... ) had disappeared into thin air due to a dodgy seal on the bottle tap itself between the 24th and the 27th. And the next delivery of gas to Skye was the 6th Jan.......the air was blue, but inert. At least I managed to get along with a small'ish hobby gas bottle from our local industrial suppliers. Still haven't seen the replacement big bottle that I ordered for the New Year.... |
