That absolute turd arrived at 08:30 and emptied it again  >:(

Did manage to grab a manky tek 465, a solartron 7150, some 10 turn pots, TO18 heat sinks and a book to sell. And I still have change from £25  :-DD

Is the turd a dealer?

Yes. Same one I mentioned to you last time. He waltzed off with a pile of kit and left the trash for everyone else. Turns up as a seller but doesn't set up, goes round and empties everything off and that's it.

There are no rules around this? In any case, if he's a known quantity and you can learn what vehicle he uses, it should be possible to run interference and stop him from getting there early, if you can organise a few people for joint action.

bd139:
I should find out where he lives and stab his tyres early in the morning  :-DD

In other news, frozen pigs just flew out of hell… it looks like it actually works.

Have ID’ed the probe sensor doesn’t work properly on one of the channels but that’s an easy fix. Might even work with a clean.

Now now, no criminal damage... the same effect more or less can be achieved with small bits of wood ie matchsticks, jammed into the valve. It lets all the air out, but doesn't damage anything. Or you can use a Schrader tool to loosen the valve core, to the same effect.

Vince:
Pffff.... why not just stick to the simple, tried and tested method : just shove a potato in the exhaust tip, engine won't start and zero damage to the car !  :-//

EDIT : on some cars the exhaust tip is hidden behind the bumper, which makes it much less convenient... crappy access. In this case AVG's method is recommended as an alternative. Deflating the 4 tires takes more time but access to the valves is good. So I wold suggest potatoe if the exhaust tip is visible / accessible, and if not, deflate all 4 tires.

bd139:
Put some bananas in before the potatoes too :)

Solartron. Also works apart from two missing decimal points. I swapped a couple of the rather ancient LED displays around expecting that to be the issue but it wasn’t. Hopefully the main IC isn’t at fault  :(

Should read 9.6245.

Got to go do some shopping now  :(
