          but a comma after the first word like the post above, would have helped

            Where did you vanish to on Sunday you could have helped out
            I had aready been approached for tools and pointed Richie in the right direction .

            You had six people already helping - I suppose I could have held your hand in your time of need .

                This is true

                I realised that day that my tool kit was rather lame

                A fisher -price tool kit would have been more usefull!


                I have begun buying some usefull tools for these small mishaps!

                Anyone recommend a good impact gun??

                Its a trolley ...its a shopping trolley (you know, with the spastic front wheel!!)

                  Not by me . Mine has been on the cam cover and given death for YEARS!

                  Do it right, do it once . Fuck about doing it on the cheap and do it a million times .

                            Ive used the rattle can from VHT (purchased from Frosts) and got excellent results, i also bung the parts in the oven for an hour. It's very easy to do aswell

                            For the escos i used the place that Paul R got all his parts done, Vulcan shot blasting i think? they took while but the parts are top notch and pricing was not bad at all
