metal

Does anyone know of a decent metal glue, preferably one that is a conductor when dry. I'm trying to bodge a wire onto a starter motor on a laguna but it's in such an awkward place that I can't solder it. I've tried evo-stick rapid metal and an araldite one but they don't conduct lol Any...

The driver's door mirror on my '98 r129 is missing the metal clip that attaches the glass on to the motor, like this one here: Some tape is taking care of the problem for now, but would prefer to fix it properly. The search for just this clip hasn't given me any results, but then maybe I just...

Hi all. Had a good look round and couldn't find anything related to my '02 CLK 230K's roof's particular problem. Basically the roof's body cover does not lift out of the way. The bow part of the roof lifts but the body cover stays put. The pump runs and runs waiting for the cover. I've not...

Hi, I've had my 350 for a month or so and today found after driving her for a few miles and parking up, that I couldn't use the key fob to operate the door or boot locks. All other elements (alarm, courtesy lights etc) work off the fob, but no mechanical locks operate. The car starts and runs...

Hi all I'm looking for a fairy cheap but not rubbish metal detector for my grandson (7 going on 11). I looked at a lightweight 2nd hand one to day in our local ads, but firstly it hummed all the time until it located a coin on the flooor then it went quiet, the noise was annoying, I want one...

Anyone have a set of the OEM 'Club' pedals they want to sell?

Our back garden is better described as a cliff, with very steep stairs giving access. The old wooden handrail was never healthy, and has now been destroyed by an over-eager teenager. I'm wondering about getting something simple fabricated. I've got no idea on cost - but if it's a lot I...

Hi there, My boot stopped open via remote & interior last week I suspect due to boot mechanism failure as the mechanism makes a winding noise but does not open. I have been opening the boot using the metal fob and I have locked it in the boot. I have searched for a solution without any luck...

This is one of the collars from a GU10 light fitting in my kitchen: When attached to the fitting, the socket for the bulb is recessed towards the base of the collar. I've just switched to using LED bulbs, and while the straight-replacements fit just fine, the body of the multi-colour LED...

Hi It looks like I need to replace the metal fuel lines, both the supply and return, on a W116 1977 280SE. I've never done fuel lines before but understand they come ready made/shaped from the dealership. Albeit at a price!! Over £100 for the supply line alone! Or is it possible to make new...

Anyone have a set lying around they would like to flog? :)

Im looking to buy a metal detector to keep the kids occupied I've searched a few but have no idea what to look for, have any of you got one which can recommend? £100 is what id like to spend.

Wife called to say she'd had a crash. Sent shivers down my spine worrying. But she wasn't hurt, she said. It was only a few miles away so I dashed off and collected her. Tears and apologies in abundance. Car front end and wing look cosmetically messy - a garage will have to get it on ramps...

Looking at the outer bevel of this watch, what would you call the technique or style of metal working here? Thanks

Does any one know where I could purchase the above? Kitchen revamp calls for a 4 gang socket in brushed steel/satin chrome finish. I can find the normal 2 gang sockets but nothing bigger.

I need to fit a longer radiator to water pump hose on one side of my Allard, at the bottom. The current set up is a normal silicone/rubber hose between the base of the radiator and the water pump on the block, but it also has a junction with a downpipe from a cooling system header tank...

One of the few ePetitions worth a damn and whilst it might not stop it wholly, certainly going to put a crimp in the pernicious trade. "Due to a significant rise in value, metal has become a much sought after commodity. This increased demand has resulted in a sharp rise in metal theft...

Like it says :) Cheers Brett
