Building analogue guitar effects and synthesizer bollocks. I have my own designs I'm working on but initially I'll be doing clones. It's theoretically viable with the right marketing. As long as it pays for itself I'm not too arsed. ruffgeezer, LightBulbFun, SiC and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Mon-Fri role though and that's more than good enough for me. My missus did the same sort of role in a secondary school soon after she took early retirement from her statistical planning job. It was the school our eldest was attending and that helped to tip the balance to accepting it. She didn't have to do much during the holidays, her and the boys spent virtually all of them on the Norfolk Coast. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoverFolkUs Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 The Picasso decided to be French this evening Thought I'd pop out to install its battery that I've been meaning to refit after charging it up a couple of weeks ago. It was not happy, started it up and it was running on 2 or 3 *Beep beep* "engine faulty" and the EML duly illuminated Of course, being French it fixed itself 30 seconds later, left it running for 20 minutes and then it was fine all that time 🤷 Probably down to the cold, and the fact I've left it there for a few months but it shouldn't misfire like that 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goosey Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Used the Jeep to get to work today as I’m in the workshop all week and will probably use it tomorrow 35 mile round trip today is the most it’s driven for over a year. Had a spare hour so I cleaned the leaves out the scuttle and heater intake so now it doesn’t steam up inside as much. even managed 21mpg average!!

Yoss Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I think this road was still a bit icy at 11 o'clock this morning. It is quite a steep hill out of shot to the left and there was water running down it so I suspect a burst pipe. Still it could have been worse (for everybody else, not for the Prius driver) as the other side of the road is lined with parked cars, which is why I had time to take the photo as I was waiting for traffic to come down the hill. And it's either a very sturdy barrier or the front of a Prius is very bendy. AnnoyingPentium, Coprolalia and HMC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catsinthewelder Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Isn't the problem in the jets rather than the bottle? After getting fed up with it in the last cold snap I've got almost neat washer fluid in the Focus rather than my usual 95% water blend.

Spurious Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I'm also getting miffed with moderns having wipers that don't park under a heater vent. Admittedly it's only a minor problem as they eventually heat up, however, the Jimny has wipers that park near the vent, the blade doesn't freeze and drag ice across the screen. Also the engine block keeps the washer jets from freezing. Ultimate mini snow kaos wagon?
