Well bit of a bad weekend had a family day yesterday all day so that knacked that and today attempted a fix on the welder lasted 1 and 1/2 pads welded for rollcage and melted again so i am going into town tomoz to see if i can get a new lead fitted to it and if not see if they take it as trade in on a new one, and what deal they can do if i get compressor at the same time, so all in all a crap weekend so need to spend some evenings down there, also cant believe how many forums this is linked to i have had to upgrade my photobucket due to exceeding my bandwith allowance lol

cheers for all the many great comments across many forums cheers All
