Working on your car at home?

Post by VARSITY » Mon Jan 21, 2008 5:26 pm

Have a small problem with my nuts, they do tend to come loose every now and then.

Could any one recommend a particular type of thread lock?

Many thanks.

Tut tut - lazy child! Why can't you write "one" instead of "1"?? It'll only take you a fraction of a second longer. Bloody text generation! :roll:

There used to be a young lady who worked at our place who got nicknamed by some of the workforce as "Spanner"...when someone eventually asked where the nickname came from, the explanation was "quite simple - every time she walks through here, she tightens my nuts"... :lol:
