Re: Rent Free Welding Gas
good find Paul but 2 months too late !, my BOC renewal is Jan I got a rather pleasant surprise through the post this morning. BOC have sent me a £59.32 credit for 8 months of rental on my Argoshield cylinder that I returned! I didn't think the rent was refundable but it seems that it is. That nicel...

Re: Rent Free Welding Gas
I would check on the difference in gas prices before you swap Matthew. Someone like yourself who uses a fair amount of gas might well be better off paying BOCs rental charge if the gas is cheaper. For me a rent free option is a no brainer as I only use the welder a couple of times a year at the very...

Re: Rent Free Welding Gas
No, it's a one off. That's why I went for it instead of my current BOC cylinder which is costing me the best part of 90quid a year in rental. All it will cost me from now on is 36quid every time I want it swapping for a full one. No other charges.

Re: Rent Free Welding Gas
I've ended up going with HobbyWeld - http://www.hobbyweld.co.uk/ Their HobbyWeld 5 cylinder is the same gas mix as the BOC "Argoshield Light" product and although it is physically roughly the same size as the BOC "X" size cylinder it only contains about half the volume of gas due...

Rent Free Welding Gas
Any recommendations for rent free welding gas for a MIG welder? I'm currently using BOC Argoshield Universal but it has nearly run out and I'm fed up with paying 80-90 quid a year rental for the bottle when I only fill it up every 5 or so years. Ideally somewhere with a depot in the Malton/Driffield...

I did that and to be honest with you it wasn't completely obvious still which the problem was. It moved more freely with the selector disconnected but probably not as freely as I might have expected. I've sprayed WD40 everywhere I can get at and also now changed (half of) the ATF. The old fluid look...

300tdi Disco Auto gear selector
The gear selector in our 300tdi automatic Discovery has recently become quite stiff. Where should I start looking? Are there any common causes? I assume there's a cable of some kind linking it to the gearbox but I'm guessing it's a pig to get at... If it makes any difference to the answer I haven't ...

Makes sense, we'll put it on dry.
Interestingly the one we've got isn't copper, it's a silver metal of some kind. It's this kit we got:

Best seal on headgaskets is no sealant . I thought that might be the case but the Haynes Book Of Lies says to use sealant on it and googling suggests that the metal gaskets need a smear of sealant but the composite ones don't (and we have a metal one). I'll put it together without though if you thi...

Series diesel head gasket / engine oil.
Is there any particular gasket jointing compound that I should be using for the head gasket on an S2a 2.25 diseasel?
Also what grade of engine oil should I be using in it?
Ta,
Paul

just buy a decent 12pt socket and you should be ok , cheap ones will break Indeed, I have managed to break mine but it was only a cheapy from a socket set I bought when I was in my teens. I have now got a decent replacement on the way. I had great fun today in the rain doing the driver's side front...

Brake caliper / disc to hub bolts.
Is there a proper name for the sort of bolts used for brake calipers and to bolt hubs to discs? I've been using a 1/2" double hex socket so far and it has worked but too much use of a normal socket with a windygun has killed it and I figure if there's a "proper" tool for the job it's ...
