Had a look at your videos chap.... You haven't got any. In any case in this car I did the other side first and would have broken the torx bits if I had pushed them any more. Quickest way to do it was cut them off and attach nuts I could hit with an impact gun. Have you ever done it on a Jaguar X Type?

Are 'Tilley Lamps' or 'Hurricane Lamps' safe to use indoors? I am a Gas Engineer and concerned about the CO output inside with or without ventilation and the effects of a 'Tilley Lamp/ Hurricane Lamp/ Coleman lamp' on our health? I am also considering restoring a few of these items, and need to check their safety of use before I am attacked by 'TROLLS' ? Many thanks dx

Our family's Tilley lamp saw service on camping holidays and, later, during the power cuts of the 1970s: which I loved because the house lit by candles and paraffin was magical and exciting - I was about 10 years old. Now, at 60, I've just finished fixing up the same Tilley lamp and it's working fine - the sound of the gentle hiss takes me back 50 years!

On all QCTP's there is a lot of overhang with the tool attached to the side of the tool post.......this does not happen with the old but inconvenient 4 way too post as the tool is clamped firmly down on the bottom of the 4 way tool post.......I think you would get better results with parting if you made or acquired a rear tool post for the crosslide .....this is especially true with plain bearing lathes........If by some cunning design, you managed to prevent the chuck from screwing off you could run the chuck in reverse and come in with the tool upside down in the front tool holder.

I am on my second one of these things as the kill switch stopped working after very little use. Contacted Lidl who refunded me as unable to replace like for like. Bought another one 2 months ago and guess what? After maybe a dozen switch offs the bloody kill switch has given up again! Only way to stop the thing is to disconnect the HT lead! So annoying. I’ll continue using it as it has a 3 year warranty. It’s either a design fault or a batch of faulty switches. 🤬😡🤬

If I had to buy a lathe (This one was free) I would buy a Boxford as they are better value. On the lead screw travel, that will depend on the gears that drive it from the spindle.

We purchased a Parkside 4-in-1 multitool recently and it has worked well for the last 6 weeks. My 14 year old son uses it for strimming and bush cutting mainly, but recently the shaft that connects the motor to the strimmer has stopped spinning round when you press the “engage/accelerator” button/lever so the strimmer head does not spin round, and the engine dies as if the shaft wants to spin but is being stopped by something Do you have any ideas of what I could try or look for, or have you come across this before?
@BensWorkshop
@BensWorkshop Месяц назад
Does it "spin round" with any of the other attachments fitted? For example the hedge cutter or pole cutter? If it does, then the implication is that the head on the strimmer is jammed. In which case the most likely culprit is debris like grass wrapped around it. Remove the debris. You may have to remove the strimmer head or brush cutter to do this. Many thanks for watching! Please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!
@ScottPickering-l9s
@ScottPickering-l9s Месяц назад
Thanks Ben, no it does not spin round with the other attachments, the strimmer head rotates freely by hand when the multi-tool is not on. So I am pretty sure its the shaft on the inside.
@BensWorkshop
@BensWorkshop Месяц назад
So if you put the strimmer head on, with the engine not running, you can't turn the head? That would sound like something has siezed in either the clutch or the shaft. What was the strimmer doing when this happened?
@ScottPickering-l9s
@ScottPickering-l9s Месяц назад
@@BensWorkshop The strimmer had been working fine. We got it out the other day and it intermittently wouldn't spin round and the engine died. It then worked and I completed the strimming. When we got it out again it wouldn't spin round at all. I think you are right, clutch or shaft. I was curious to know if you had come across this before.
@BensWorkshop
@BensWorkshop Месяц назад
No. Have you got a pair of pliars, if so you could try to see if the inner shaft in the power unit can be pulled in or out and see if that makes a difference. Also you could see if it turns either way. Do not use much force. You may need to call Lidl service.

@TheDub7
@TheDub7 2 месяца назад
Had 4 of the Parkside type and now I have none as the Trigger Handles all snapped on them. Probably due to the quality of the plastic and/or design. I've been a bit heavy handed with them, this is mostly because the claps themselves don't have the same positive feel as the Irwins, so feel slightly 'Spongey' for want of a better word and so you are prone to over tighten them. I have two of the Irwins and they have been through a large amount of work and are still fine and you would injure you hand first before you over tightened or broke them. The Irwins are a far superior clamp.
