My week this week, my workshop videos!

Hi Folks,
 The electrician turns up at the house to do the EICR test and we have a few C2's!! correct within 28 days! so I fit a new consumer unit, find a fault and do some odd simple
fixes to the electrical installation. I get back on the D type transmission briefly, and it is beginning to come together! The 5C collet arrives to complete the next stage of the new shaft, so I might get back on to that next week, but the first priority is to get the new tenant happily seetled in to the house!

Hi Folks,
 A short week due to getting daughters picked up from York, EICR's at the cottage and getting my new (to me) car delivered. It arrived, the cottage passed the EICR and My daughter dissapeared to her boyfriends! In the meantime there was tidying up, and antique repairs, with more to come, maybe next week! I lit the boiler in the workshop for the first time this year, and all worked perfectly! Then it snowed!

Hi Folks,
 I spent most of Monday getting my new car on the road, having parked  the Outlander at Langtoft on Sunday, and got a lift back to Driffield! Tuesday and it was time to install the little fireplace woodburner for Lucy,  the new occupier of my Ratten row house. Quite an involved job to do it properly, but the result was very pleasing, although it was a tight fit! The new motor is lovely apart from the eu de dog which permeates the rear cargo space, but I will attempt to get it in the workshopnext week and give it a clean! The only thing not working seems to be the passenger door mirror which does not fold in or adjust, so I suspect a fuse, more may be revealed later in the week!

Hi Folks,
 The Title of this weeks pathetic offeringis an old familial saying stemming from my Grandmother from the East End who used to say, instead of slip or fall, "don't go a Gaby glide" a popular Dance craze when she was a lass in the 1920's ( she was the Essex Black Bottom champion!) I think the frontispiece was tacked on by my brother Mike! Well my week "went a Gaby Glide" and I got about a day and a halfs work done, in five days. The fix on the Volvo was very satisfying, although it took two of us to get the door off and back on, as they are heavy!! love the way they come off though, 2 bolts and one Torx screw! the build quality of Volvos has always been impressive, but I think the wiring harness on these leaves a bit to be desired, although door link cables give problems on all marques! If I do any more next week I will film it, but it is unlikely as I have a guy coming to pressure clean the central heating system on Monday and the car goes in to Lawson and Tompkin on Wednesday for a service and general look over! I will endevour to enjoy Christmas, as I encourage you all to do! Bah Humbug!!
