Re: Invisible to cameras?

I've been in a Sainsbury's with the anpr camera's and my silver and black plates were picked up. The black has faded quite a lot so I didn't expect them to be recognised.

Re: Upper trunnion grease nipple

If they were not so expensive (~£20) I would try one of those zerk/gurtech lock on couplers. I pulled a trunnion grease nipple out trying to free a connector once. :oops:

ESM website just let me add one to basket Declan. I didn't see any message about notifying me when available.
I wonder if anyone has bought these in the past and how they have got on with them.

Re: Paint by Valspar

Have you looked into using a roller to get a smoother finish? You can get a very good finish brushing though. That is how my van is painted and with B&Q paint as well. :D

Re: Leaking front dampers

ESM sell new and uprated rear units. Might be worth asking if they do front ones as well to take out the lottery of how well recon ones have been refurbed.
