    I do like getting the all clear from the doctor further to a cancer scare.  Still got lots of problems in my life but at least now I've (hopefully) got a lot of time to deal with them.

  • I do like finally finishing a model kit I first started 5 and a half years ago.  It's a very special model that i was supposed to finish by the time the aircraft took her final flights across the UK

To be fair she can be a good laugh, I won't talk about the works Xmas party out on the town. 

It's nothing sinful is it 🤔

Out of my good will I thought on applying some trim restorer on my neighbours car. Every morning when I wake up and look outside my eyes would go to the faded plastic on my neighbours car. Hoovered my car then went across and asked her for permission and she said okay 😂

Front bumper was my main concern. Didn't have enough product so you might see some bits still not covered but you won't notice those bits if your standing up looking at the front.

Doesn't look perfect looking close up but my neighbour was happy and actually tried giving me £10 which I refused but she then insisted I take a box of chocolates 😊

Hands were covered in this trim dressing which went rock hard DSC_0013.thumb.JPG.73da417108addb521adfe40c14045184.JPG

What product do you use? Looks good 😎

Good man @zain611!!

Very commendable @zain611. You know you can't polish a ***** Micra right?

Is she young and pretty or a bit of an old boot?

You're not familiar with Sniff Petrol are you? It's the automotive equivalent of The Daily Mash...

I used insta finish trim magic. It's annoying to apply on the applicator pad plus the pad looked to absorb it. Later when applying I found it so much easier putting it on my finger and applying it. It's cheap for a ceramic trim coating. I applied this on my cars door handles as they were really faded and it came out like new.

I do like finally fitting some LED replacement bulbs in to the ceiling light in the living room, 

20160709_185337_zpsmtzymm7v_edit_1468093494837_zpsbmaa5blz_edit_1468094341945_zps7gyvfct7.thumb.jpg.c866915f0fcc34c6b359b72ca379ff1c.jpg

This light fitting takes G4 bulbs there much the same size as a H1 Halogen for the focus but in Halogen form they rate D on power consumption which made me cringe using it atall and the light output in Halogen form wasn't great neither at 10W each totalling 50w output

Bought some Osram G4 LED on Amazon was the cheapest supplier having shopped around, 20190219_101603.thumb.jpg.86e74521250c9df24b377640b01f7ad2.jpg

Fitted them yesterday and unfortunately I had to leave one G4 Halogen in there to absorb the excess power as they all flicker if there's not one standard Halogen fitted, 

The light is much brighter now as the LED are 20W output, double there predecessor and with one still Halogen the output is now 90w in total and A++ energy efficiency.

Is it on a dimmer switch Lenny? I've replaced all my fittings with LED's and had no problems with flickering but they are GU10's and on a conventional light switch. Does the fitting have a built in transformer?

Thanks mate, there not on a dimmer but there is a transformer inside the base of the light fitting, im not sure if its bumble bee or optimus prime could be the prime since they came from Amazon 😉

They flicker like someone is in the electric chair when all fitted.

@Lenny I think you made a good choice getting warm white lights. When my dad bought warm white Led lights for my room I said why not get 6000k lights but he said warm white gives that nice cosy look whilst a pure 6000k light gives a clinical look.
