Re: Exhaust pump for tyres?
Here in Nigeria, they use an old air con pump that is connected to a honda engine via a fan belt. It works, so i was thinking that in an emergency situation one can try that. After all the cost and hassels one might as well just buy a 4x4 heavy duty 12v compressor. Reading about using an aircon as ...

Re: Is this Ryobi tyre infltor any good?
Best is to read the label. Some say you can only run for a short period- more of a gimick. As mentioned in other posts,save up a bit more and get a proper heavy duty 4x4 inflator that has a higher pressure out put -if that is the correct term.

Re: Best Generator for residential house?
If you want to tap the gennie into the wiring, you get an additional main switch. You then install it upside down next to your existing main switch on the DB board. You then connect the two levers with a small rod. So when you then link your gennie to the house power, you automatically stop the fee...

Re: How to choose your SFA when buying, few pointers
Just a hint on panel beating. Check for over spraying on rubbers etc also check for tiny pin prick holes on vehicle body this indicates Patch work.....use a small magnet to see if it sticks.Mud Dog wrote:26.
28. Look the bodywork over for signs of body filler/ panel-beating, as well as rust issues.
