OT, fenceposts!

Yup, I've had to dig holes on Salisbury plain in the past, you can keep flint! Even people who dig holes for a living had bleeding hands by the time we were done 
Budget means pressure treated cr*pwood this time, but at least put in properly I should get a few years out of them before a re-run.

In happier news, I disconnected my slave cylinder from the bellhousing on my Landy and the clutch is still rock solid, which means the siezed part is the (£8ish, easy to swap) slave cylinder 

Next is to restore the brakes to doing something, feed it some fresh petrol and see if I can get some life from her

Aye Smudge,

Positive stuff, pleased you have progress. I've not had a chance to worry the LR oracle!

My regards, Bill.

Yet more positive news, we had vroom vroom noises in the garage tonight  (and not just from me  ).
Tonights lesson however: if you gravity feed fresh petrol to the carb from a fuel can on the wing top, remember to cap the pipe from the fuel pump....

At least I know the pump works now  no harm done, and it's less knackered fuel to drain out of the system I suppose

EEEEEeeH! u daft bu**er!  At least its no a flambe landy, wi another insurance job.

Of t' sheet alley for me now.

Tara, Bill.

EEEEEeeH! u daft bu**er! 

A reasonable imitation of what I said to myself when I realised! Fortunately the petrol was old enough you could probably fight fires with it!
(why does modern petrol go crap after a week or two anyway? The old stuff was useable for years!

If you hire a post hole screw it only removes the soil needed and leaves all surrounding soil solid and firm. It also only leave a small gap to fill with cement so that becomes easier and uses less.
