Mine should be bling - was due to head down to 3s Saturday just gone but all my savings have gone due to bank/my error.

Those pics have upset me now lol.

Still, get my bonus next week so set to get it done after then.

Thanks! They're just the tip of the iceberg - we must have done fifty or so now but we only take photos if the customer asks us to.

We have a proper automotive parts washer in our sub-assembly room, but you need to pay a monthly fee to have the fluid changed as well as the relevant environmental health registration! For the hobbyist, I'd recommend a product called "Jizer" which should be available from most auto factors.

The finish you can see on the hard pipes in the above photos has been achieved with paint though!
