Gidday BK Yeah it is meant to be the best. One of those things you hear among the grapevine. Illegel but works really well. And what happens if you happen to have an accident? Have you seen what LPG does when it detonates? Please don't do anything so foolish. It may not only be yourself that you inc...

Gidday BK Ok, yes it does work, but the rad is badly damaged, I was just going to unbolt the rad from the system. If it's 1991, then it will have R12 refrigerant gas. The seals in most/all of the system will need to be replaced by a licensed air-con place after they have bled off the R12 (REALLY bad...

Gidday Purp Every email from my phone signs off with "from my iPhone 7", and not a single person has commented on it. I applaud your more classy attempt. Knowing Apple, you probably cannot change that ... Mine says "Sent from my Batphone" ... But I prefer to use "real" keyboards, even though my Batp...

Hey

And you ARE being right-royally ripped off ... These are the prices per pound in the US for poor quality scrap in 2011 . I haven't noticed that aluminium prices have dropped since then ...
