[Welsh girl]

A firestick. Very useful.

 

[Two on Tour]

4 new tyres, load of tread on the old ones but they were well past their sell by date.

We normally buy matches by the box.

About 20-21kg.
Does feel light to pick up though..

 

[Happy1]

So much more info than my other map & also shows campsites.
I just need to go somewhere now to try it out

Thank you @Debs
Needed a new mapbook anyway, and after seeing your post ordered the same. It's excellent

Leisure Wheels in Hemel Hempstead, give up with the other company.
This is a small shop and dealt with the owner as you get a better service I think.

Ooooh! I like the look of that.

 

[Debs]

Ooooh! I like the look of that.

Well I've used it this last weekend to go up to Staithes and it was really helpful - the weight & width markings particularly. Well worth £16.99 on Amazon.

I still ended up going down & 10 mins later back up the hairpin bends on Saltburn seafront though

same as ours....without the battery We bought our in Leicester about an hour away from home mainly because of the service....the local shops were not in the same league as the one in Leicester.

 

[The Dudess]

Ooooh! I like the look of that.

It's brilliant. It helped us to (narrowly!) avoid a low bridge in Scotland when the GPS sent us down that road.

Technically I bought these a few weeks back but just had tyres fited today and fitted , now the wheels look like they fit the van and not look like I have borrowed them off a mini .

 

[icantremember]

Very nice ... are they larger diameter than the originals?

 

[Howard H]

Very nice ... are they larger diameter than the originals?

Yes the original where 215/70/15 these are 225/75/16 and one of the benefits is that the speedo reads almost right now before it was about 6 mph out .

 

[Kingham]

I bought an Ugly Stik in Stranraer

[DL42846]

The Sunix 4x 4.5W MR11 2835 LED Spotlight Bulb AC DC 12V Replace Halogen Light LD892 arrived this morning so I promptly fitted them. I fitted 5 bulbs so I should make a saving of 27.5 W when running them. Every little helps, especially now the nights are drawing in.

I bought an Ugly Stik in Stranraer

Ken, Is he still a MOG? Spent a small fortune over the years in his store with rarely a smile. Then again I would always barter down his extortionate prices.

BTW the Ugly Stick is a good rod, I have 3 of them, what poundage did you go for?

 

[Kingham]

Brian, if you're talking about Eric, then yes a bit of a MOG at first, but lightened up a bit when he knew I was buying. He wouldn't shut up in the end and I was only saved by a the shop phone ringing, at which point I escaped.

No complaints though, after he did a bit of discount. Not as cheap as the Internet, but the man has overheads.

I stayed light with it being for the kayak and went for the 7'4" 8-12lb, but it's such a lovely feeling rod, that I'm thinking of complimenting it with a 12-20lb at some point.

 

[Lorryman100]

I tend to use the 12-20lb as a general rod but prefer the heavier 20-30lb rod for trolling and pulling congers out of their hiding spots. Caught a 60lb Tope using the heavy Ugly Stik with a float and flapper set at 20ft. Abu Garcia multiplier using 30lb braid and a wire trace. Good rods.

 

[Wandering vagabond]

Today i bought a trumatic 3002 gas and electric fire with blown air to replace my goosed one ... pick it up tomorrow, hopefully have it fitted before pembrey

I am about to start the hunt for a couple of folding E bikes and, as we live in Leicestershire, your post is encouraging. Did you use E Bikes on Granby street (in the town centre) or Fosse Bikes on Boston Road (out of town, on an industrial estate come office park)? I have heard good reports about E Bikes but know little about Fosse, although they also seem to get good reviews on the internet.

E-bikes Granby Street, Liam hass to have an operation and is closing down...so you can buy Freego (quite a well known brand) at discounted prices. He is brilliant if you don't know e-bikes....he takes you for a good cycle and teaches you all there is to know about how to ride it. We're taking ours in on Monday for a service before he closes at the end of October. We'll use a local agent once Liam closes down.

 

[dave newell]

Well not just this week but recently I've bought:
A set of forged high compression piston s (+1mm dia).
A set of ACL race big end and main bearings.
A full set of head, main and big end bolts from ARP.
An adjustable brake proportioning valve.
A gps hud speedo.
All for the new build race engine.

[Wandering vagabond]

[Davylambretta]
