    Not many things look as innocent as a Rottweiller with a leg in its mouth.

    He's just trying to finish it quick before you manage to get away.

    My brother in law has always had Rotties and the first one he had, had an identical white flash on her chest, just like your one.

    Yeah daft buggers ain't they. A strange compulsion to be lap dogs for some reason.

    The breeder knocked £200 off for the flash as they couldn't show her, and that was in '86, but she was a great dog.

    Lidl Torque wrench 28 to 210nm = £14.99. I already have the Halfords pro one's but got to be worth a punt for under fifteen quid if the +/-4% is not critical.

    I want to get a new tool (no not adopt ken) not sure what they are called. Battery tester? Brother in law had a tool that you can hook to the battery which shows volts, when running and when not

    Anyo e recommend one? My first thought is snap on but not idea of the price

    Yep. Even a cheap £20 jobbie from screwfix or somewhere would be accurate enough to show the difference between 12v, 13.2v & 14.4 v.

    Just wanted seething simple as I'm dumb as feck. Why I need them. Well we had issues with the kit car last year and was the mounts to the alternator that was not earthing it right. Havin the tester my BIL had was easy to work out the idle vots as well as when it's running at higher revs

    They're really not that complicated. Just learn the functions you need and don't worry about the rest.

    I rarely use anything other than the continuity tester for checking fuses and the voltmeter for batteries.
