I die its my fault Game theory would call for doing the deal but in real life going for the jab is more important in the long run, avoids messing the medical staff around and the appointments system and in this climate 'I have my covid jab booked on that day' is the gold standard in excusing yourself. Get yourself stabbed and put off or get someone else to do the deal, perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was driving through Windlesham you were coming the other way, so presume you were on the way home (I was also). I didn't wave - didn't get a chance and would have just looked like a loon since I was driving my family bus rather than anything interesting. richardmorris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Got the Cav back. Guy showed me some more pictures of the job and some extra fabrication which was required, all looks good. Price We chatted for a bit and it turns out he is a bit of a fan of these cars as his dad had a fair few of them. So I may be back, but not for welding. The battery is on its last legs so he took it off to charge it for a bit. The immobiliser seems to have disarmed itself and the led is pulsing really fast. You don't seem to need the chip in the dash to start it any longer. Weird. Onwards this afternoon with a new distributor and rotor arm. Its still not 100% happy and you can feel it want to misfire if you go up a hill. davehedgehog31, BorniteIdentity, loserone and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I invariably rip out any aftermarket alarm or immobiliser where I can as they invariably cause problems and are shit. Almost always badly installed back in the day - whether professional in a dealer/dockside/shop or DIY. Split_Pin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fumbler Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Micra's rear wiper split this morning and the fronts are going the same way. Lucas wipers which are just over 1 year old too. Happily, though, the new brake pads have completely solved my cooked brake issue. Win. Stanky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
