    We have a large parts washer taking space in our garage, ever since we
    closed The Workshop (see sig.)

    It's free-standing, about 38" wide and the same high (with the lid down) and
    20" front-back.

    The fluid (e.g. paraffin or engine cleaner) is pumped through a directable
    nozzle and/or brush, drains back into a tank underneath, where the solids
    are trapped before the fluid re-circulates. There's also a light so you can
    see what you're doing.

    Note that this is pre-elf-n-safety, the only concession being a soldered
    link on the lid bracket, so when the fire gets hot enough to melt the
    solder, the lid slams shut!

    That said, it also comes with a 5lb CO2 fire extinguisher of similar
    vintage.

    This is all free to the first ukrmer[1] who replies "Me please", is able to
    arrange collection from south-east Essex, and can therefore save me the
    hassle of dealing with eBay muppets.

    The legs are removable and it lifts off the tank, so it should all fit in
    the boot of a family car, though it's not pretty other than pretty filthy.

    [1] with large parts to wash.

    I don't think the cat and chickens are going to like this

  5. OK, Dave, but I'm off to Chile this weekend so can't collect until
    mid-August. But yep, I'll have it.

    If TOG changes his mind I'll have it if I can persuade Adie to collect
    it on her way back from Chimay or if you can hang onto it long enough
    for us to collect it later.

    I'm sure he'll change his mind when he finds out those two tins of
    Quality Street will be going in the oven at 300c for an hour if he has
    the parts washer. Not that I'd try to influence his decision making
    process of course....

    What use would a man like you have for a parts washer, anyway? You
    have a dishwasher, don't you? You can sprawl in front of the box
    watching the cricket and drinking Stella while the dishwasher does it
    for you, rather than losing subcutaneous fat(1) using a parts washer.


    1. For which you're already in debt, obviously.

    We're away for most of August, back BH Monday (30th).

    There's no hurry.

    TOG has first call, unless Andy knows different...

    So tempted, but don't have the room and we've got a smaller one here
    that suffices

    Um, how much do I owe you for the choccies? PayPal or cheque?

  11. That's why I want it. I haven't forgotten the episode when I put a 400
    Four sump in with the dishes.

    Nor has The Doctor.
