Thanks mate,them blades are a pain to find

Don't buy the cheaper no name blades. End up with a face like a ploughed field. 

[SierraMikeHotel]

I have driven many miles today, most in a horrible nine year old Hyundai i20 to a fairly pointless meeting and the rest in a lovely new Mercedes B-Class to discover that the garage fucked up and my car isn't ready after all.

 

None of which matters when I think about Mally. This may sound hollow from a stranger on the internet but I am truly very sorry for your loss. Thinking of you.

[Guest Hooli]

He already has.

[Mally]

pm me your address bub and I'll get them off to you.

I'm using plastic Bic now. Proper Autoshite.

 

Thanks SMH and everyone, been speaking with the Coroners Officer today, seems it's an unusual occurrence, but if I accept the Dr's findings, which are sparse, it may get nodded through without a post mortem.

Have accepted as the other way meant probable post mortem and inquest, drags on forever. Just want it over really. 

Can't help the wife, and I don't wish to go against the NHS.

Will contact the Hospital later with what I see as a need for more balanced information to patients.

 

I await the Coroner, until he gives the green light it's still in limbo.

The current ones are from eBay. Branded derby. I think I'm to blame this Time

Try speaking to the hospital's Patient Advice and Liaison Service (commonly referred to as PALS) - each Trust has one, and though they are NHS employees, you will get an independent view on any concerns you may have.

Very sorry to read your news Mally.

 

When mother-in-law died in hospital a few years ago I think there should have been a post-mortem but father-in-law didn't want to her to go through that, for similar reasoning to you, and the powers-that-be agreed it wasn't necessary.

[Lankytim]

Shit Mally, I'm so sorry to hear the bad news.

Exactly what the Coroners officer said. He gave me the phone number.

Will do this after the funeral.

My sons are saying, and I agree, that If my wife had refused the op, she could have had 3 good month followed by 9 bad ones.

As it was, only 2 bad months.

405 is on the naughty step.

 

Looks like it's time to press the 19 into service.

Leboncoin has introduced an electronic payment service (hello, France, yes 2018 it is) in certain categories - but doubt it includes cars...

Apparently if you contact them via Minitel they'll fax you an online payment form to sign and post back...

 

(Which is basically how Translink operates their Enterprise rail service to Dublin, which boasts a 'web saver' fare - entailing them posting you out some tickets which take over a week to arrive...)

What a pair.

 

What's up with your 405?

[holbeck]

Air is still getting into the fuel and causing random FTP's. Yesterdays was in the middle of the roundabout for Jcn 30 of the M5. Cue hazards and furious cranking until the air could be pumped through.

 

My latest theory is that the leak off pipes may be perished (they don't look great to be fair) so ebay is supplying some replacements.

My old A4 is still languishing local to me, it's on SORN though, hiding on the edge of a council estate.

Me too! I had a 306 back in 2010-2013 with an XUD in it. Random FTPs were cured by replacement leak-off pipes. I made them out of appropriately sized fuel hose cut into sections the right length with a stanley knife.

Must be nearing the point where you can't possibly bolt any more crap to it surely? Or are you going for the full 'king of the estate' look? 

[Tadhg Tiogar]

You'd be surprised....

That sounds like a challenge

Stu’s cars are one of my favourite things about this thread. You have to admire him; living his best life and not giving a shit what anybody thinks.

 

Stuboy - Autoshite’s very own Parable.

Been scraping old flaking underseal out of the Princess' rear arch.  At this rate it's going to take me a week to sort out each side, it's not a fun job.  I've been quite surprised by both the lack of paint and lack of rust under the underseal, especially so considering that it was holding water against the bodywork in places.  No new rot horrors discovered either, thankfully.

Do you have a primer bulb, sometimes it's a perished bulb letting air in.

[Mally]

Bumped into my eldest's  ex girl friend today, didn't know her but she did me.

Not seen her for 30 years. Told her about the wife.

Shes coming to the funeral.

Sam, take a bow.

New primer bulb fitted a few days ago.

Bought a new bluetooth stereo jobby for the Lancer today, attempted to install it there and have managed to short something, as the stereo, clock, interior light and central locking now aren't working. Arse Fuck it, will check the fuses tomorrow in daylight. I always manage to fuck up the simplest of jobs
