Fixed it Bohica ! PM sent to you..please read.

That's a hell of a lot of suck! Anyway success !..the vacuum is not a good idea for checking for leaks as I have now seen but nitrogen is..My trusty aircon guy came round with his bottle of gas and we pumped it up and watched it of coupla hours and all good. In fact as the morning warmed up the pres...

Wow sound advice..thanks for that. Running out of time tonight in the good old U and K. May have to try this tomorrow.. My choice would be no molecules lost ever but its not a perfect world! Also I maybe overthinking this one. Never thought about the shaft seal possibly leaking under vacuum and my c...

Oh poop I think I may have a problem then. I ran the pump for over four hours. Heres what happened. Got it down past 30 inches onto the bump stop of the gage.

Well it seems like you are totally up there with the Eastern cuisine styles. Hmmm Persian..that reminds me of Dansak, nice dish in chicken or lamb...that KoMex link has got me dribbling tho. Clever fusion... I wanna go there! Mind you its BBQ tonight so the steaks are coming out. You certainly have ...

OMG..you been to Brick Lane and you like curry? Well I suppose you do cos that is all that's there. Its gone all trendy at the north end now and they are trying to squeeze the ethnics out. There is a lot of history in that area and I worked all the area for the phone company since I was a youth. I n...
