I expected this to be a thread about Mrs Nick chatting to a neighbour or summat.

BM ~ You want to get that seen to. Very nasty when smoke comes out of a rear orifice unexpectedly.

The point is BM, that after taking apart, and before putting back together, the objective is to FIX it! Just taking apart/putting together alone will not, usually, fix it. That's been my experience anyway.

Well, I took it to bits to the point that I was fairly confident that I could put it back together…  whistle:

I’ve just given it another damn good looking at but I don’t think I want to go any further…  noooo:

No good giving it a good looking at ~ it clearly needs a damn good talking too if not a thrashing.
I know a man who might help
