Tarquin, Wakefield, West Yorks

You could pay a builder to create a recess in the floor into which the scissor will sit, allowing it to be flush with the garage floor.


A friend of mine did exactly that what Tarquin describes,works great for him!

Did the same with my 2 post lift, midget is to low to get the arms under and didnt want to pre lift the midget with a jack....

My Mercedes has non-latching dip/main where you push it one way and release for main beam and pull it the other way to go back ... and to flash. So by feeling the lever as on 'proper' cars you can't tell which is beam is lit in brightly lit streets and can flash when you think you are putting it on dip. Easy to get it on the wrong one as to operate the rear wash/wipe buttons you have to reach ro...

Some combination of mobile lifting table and weights bench? Similar scissor action mechanism but with a hydraulic hand pump and release?

Good news my diff is fine, bad news one of the propshaft UJs isn't so engine/box out time, the old fashioned way with a hoist.

Yes, the VW relay effectively uses the flash to pass as a dip switch.

As my car is a Mk1, it has the dip switch on the floor.

Here are the details from Barney’s MGAguru site.

The vw relay has got me intrigued --on my Vw the headlight stalk is basically the same operation as a flashing to pass B stalk with high beam towards the dash ,lo beam back up to wards the wheel and then spring loaded towards the wheel to flash---I was thinking your relay was like some Japanese cars with a flip flop type relay where the driver flicks the lever the same direction each time...

Lol. No, I'm a dyed in the wool confirmed Starmerite now. 🤣🤣🤣.

I think you're right, Burnham has a shot if he can get elected. Trouble is, he's no shrinking violet moderate either. Full blooded bloody Socialist. Rumour is he'll have Millipede as Chancellor.

My wife and myself both have two current accounts each with a card. We keep one card in the safe and the other in our purse/wallet. We only keep a modest ammount in the latter so if the cards were stolen we would not loose too much. If we need to pay a large bill we do a simple transfer using our phone app.
I was reluctant to get involved with telephone banking but had my wallet stolen at Eus...

I don't know about the Moss UK issues, but as a loyal customer of Moss here in the USA since the 90's, it saddens me what is happening there. I now order elsewhere because I can't rely on them anymore, and it costs me far more to get the same product from them (if I receive it at all). They also fired a lot of their best people including the entire technical department.

Careful Anam, you can't defect, we need an effective opposition supporter on here 🤣.

Burnham is waiting in the wings. Apparently there are one or two Greater Manchester MPs who would step down to let him in. He'd then, surely, be a dead cert for next Labour leader. He's much more a man of the people, I think he knows how to "work the room".
