Today I mostly .....
Re: Today I mostly .....
Hi SimonAllen
The oil is getting flung (literally!) out from under the rocker covers and the rocker cages themselves. All the bolts seem tight, so I will replace the four gaskets in question as I already have them to hand.
Bit of a bummer, but what can you do?
Regards

Didn't do a great deal today except for, going hunting for a fire for the lounge. Plenty of choices for in the Gas and Electric range along with plenty of choice in fire surrounds.
Then went to Machine Mart to make use of the VAT free voucher I had and got myself one of these

Ordered 6 LED Gu10 Bulbs for the kitchen lights. Currently we have 6 x 35w and soon the lights will be 6 x 4w bulbs in cool white. So, this will reduce the power used over the winter days/nights in the kitchen.
Payback time I guess will be a while.

Was it one of these style LED flood lights?

We have 2 x 150w in the drive and 2 x 500w in the back garden. No idea how many times a night the cats or other animals set them off.

Re: Today I mostly .....
Do they just fit into the old opening of the flood light? or is it a whole light unit?

Finally managed to get the VCR, DVR, stereo and monitor all to talk to each other properly. Finally now have a way to digitise my VHS collection, albeit in a bit of a roundabout way.
