Can he fix it

Think he has (probably)

Many thanks to Will for welding up one of the hydraulic lines on our classic (1970s) mini digger.
Hopefully it'll hold until we can work out how to fix it properly.

Bodged would be the term I would've used, but if you're happy with 'fix', then I'll run along with it. :smt003

Glad to be of assistance. Just remember all these little jobs when it comes to building house extensions and garages at the new place. :D
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

One of our club members welded my bike exhaust for me once upon a time. He's been trained in the Marines and claimed to know just enough to operate the welding kit without blowing up himself or anyone else.

When I left he said it was guaranteed for "5 miles or 5 minutes up the road, whichever is sooner" - lasted about 3 years!
