Good luck GT, I've had some great and terrible dentists in the past, they all like to charge though! I had an old Chinese guy when I was a kid, he was a magician, I never felt a thing. We moved and I had a mad irishman, you could smell the drink on him in the afternoon. One of my recent ones was a Spanish lady and then replaced by an African guy, they were both great.at the dentist again to talk over a treatment plan for my tooth with the temporary filling - booked in for root canal........£££
Do they leave it ringing until you hand over the Nelsons?Got an alarm service next week , they wont leave the house till you have paid as so many dont pay bills .....

I got a tree chopped down over 2 weeks ago, he's still not sent an invoice (£400) despite me reminding him a week ago. Maybe he does it all at the end of the month?Got an alarm service next week , they wont leave the house till you have paid as so many dont pay bills .....
...Fixing the Qashqai (again).
Price up a new hub nut, next time.Hub nut was a bugger, hand to use the trolley jack on the ratchet handle (with a pole extension over it) to move it.
To be honest, the jack moved it pretty easy. I had it off a couple of months ago, when I did the wheel bearing, but that time I had borrowed an electric impact driver, which loosened it after half a dozen dakdaks.......

I had this issue on the old Beetles I've owned - which 36mm, torqued to 250lb-ft, then + up to 1/6 turn (!) to make the castellations align for the plit-pin (like fuse-wire is 'securing' anything at that point..) And - you have to get that off to un-seize the brake adjusters. After 20+ yrs of neglect - forget it.
First-time approach , was like yours: 3/4" breaker, impact socket, long pipe extension, jump-around a bit - with a mate on the footbrake, as the car lurched forward - buy new breaker bar, apply heat, swear a lot.
Second thought - how much is one of those things ..? - about £3 delivered at the time.
Ever after that: I'd simply drill the nut front face with maybe 4mm hole, parallel with the axle to leave minimal material; then merely tap axially on that line with a cold chisel - bloody thing would vacate duty in two different directions at the speed of sound. All done in about 30s flat. Refit, with nice new hub nut. Easy!
Central London is very quiet this morning, not Covid levels but noticeably quieter than usual.
Hi BT, yes the work landscape has changed dramatically since Covid. We have a number of cleaning contracts where nobody or just one or two people come to the office on Fridays. Mondays are are quiet too but today was noticably quieter. I think I've mentioned before my daughter and future SIL are Civil Servants, they don't have enough office space in Westminster for them to attend the office more than twice a week. The day of the long office lease is over.The Wife had a couple of days in central London last week.
She was amazed at how quiet it was - bearing in mind that she used to work for many yrs at the natural history museum, so is used to the place. She put it down to people working from home as a factor.
