Odd Jobs at Trax - Rusty2009 - 23:rd-Aug-2014

I will help members with some odd jobs at trax but nothing big.

I will also bring my Laptop and my GM MDI for members to use at there own risk (Please note it's free for models up 2012) so any models 2012 or newer won't be able to use it as I wont have internet nor paying the hourly rate that GM want.


Odd Jobs at Trax - tucpal - 23:rd-Aug-2014

i will be doing a few odd jobs also with in reason as i have a bit to do all ready

1, fit LED DRL resistors for camaron.
2, fitting mtec h7,s lights for whalen.
3, drilling holes for winders in lewis,s rear door cards.


Odd Jobs at Trax - Rusty2009 - 23:rd-Aug-2014

Odd Jobs at Trax - tucpal - 23:rd-Aug-2014

Odd Jobs at Trax - cornishtaz - 23:rd-Aug-2014

Odd Jobs at Trax - WhelanUK - 27:th-Aug-2014

I've got a battery powered soldering iron

Cameron UK Wrote:I've got a battery powered soldering iron

Never seen one of these before, what bats does it run off?

Didn't you buy a little gen for trax?

WhelanUK here is the part number 13319462

Autovaux do them http://www.autovaux.co.uk/product/13319462-lamp.aspx

But they maybe cheaper from the dealer as Autovaux add postage onto it so double check.

Saying that though Lewis6317 might have a couple spare as he's upgraded to full leather now.


Odd Jobs at Trax - Cameron UK - 28:th-Aug-2014

Yeh sold the genny for double the money lol, it runs off AA batteries, they are £10 from maplins


Odd Jobs at Trax - Rusty2009 - 28:th-Aug-2014

Think I would rather use a electric or gas one thou mate.


Odd Jobs at Trax - Lewis6317 - 28:th-Aug-2014

I'm happy to help with this if tucpal is busy mate


Odd Jobs at Trax - tucpal - 29:th-Aug-2014

i can do it but i will have to cut the old grill out to save the clips in the bumper
as they are a real nightmare to do
bring a blanket to sit the bumper on so it does not get scratched when it is off the car


Odd Jobs at Trax - SI SRI - 29:th-Aug-2014

Cheers guys will do.
