wuvvum Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Well my body is doing great today. After the visit to the doctor this afternoon, earlier this evening coming out of the bathroom I passed out and faceplanted down the stairs. Fortunately no real damage done apart from bending my glasses (which have more or less straightened out) but a bit worrying. I'm going for a blood test on Wednesday anyway so I'll mention it then. It's odd, other than for my Covid jabs I haven't needed to see a doctor in over 10 years, but it seems now everything's going wrong at once...

I always put a Xantia diesel battery in my X1/9's. Fitted perfectly and gave the starter a bit more oomph, especially after sorting the earths and the brown wire mod..

Just been reading that fatigue and fainting are the newest covid symptoms now.. I was certainly weak but never actually flaked out. I suppose they ruled this out first?

I wasn't tired this morning, it just came on all of a sudden and passed just as quickly. I will ask the question though on Wednesday.

That can aggravate things if you're already feeling light headed. As BC says it could be the symptoms of a virus. I know there's a nasty lurgy going around at the moment.

Appreciate what you mentioned earlier about the doc having not seen whatever you’d shown him before and although this may be unrelated, you don’t want to miss something urgent. Do you live with someone? Not being nosey, genuinely concerned - if you live alone then make sure you post regularly on here, or message me your number/address or something. I’d sooner waste a tenner in diesel coming to check you’re alright if we don’t hear from you for a while than you be ill and alone. stendec, Barry Cade, GMcD and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Thanks JJ. I'm going back to the doctor on Wednesday for a blood test so if there is something wrong then it should get picked up then - I will mention the "episode" to them though of course. I do live alone, but I'm on here pretty much every day and also if I don't log in to my work laptop my colleagues would pick up on it pretty quickly so I'm not too worried about a serious mishap going undetected.

JJ0063 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 3 hours ago, JJ0063 said: I googled it and according to the Corsa C forum it seems a popular upgrade to fit the diesel size battery to the 1.2’s so for the sake of an extra tenner I think it’s worth it if it holds a bit more juice. We’ll give it a try! Update Fitted the big boy battery and it starts like a beast now. However, when I was making sure it starts I noticed the stereo was on.. when I took the key out… with the volume off.. Turns out the radio must be knackered (it’s the original stereo) so it doesn’t go off with the ignition anymore. Hence battery being flat when she doesn’t use it I guess! Removed the fuse as she said she never uses the stereo hence volume being right down. Probably didn’t even need a battery but now it’s got a decent new one along with the radio fuse removed so we can at least rule that out if it plays up again!

Good luck and fingers crossed, similar with me after so long of not going to a doctor I feel like I'm falling to bits. I know something isn't right with me, I just can't pinpoint what it is.

I think you press button 1 and 3, and you can have it off with ignition or not..? Now you've removed the fuse you'll need the code to put it on again?

She’s had the car since it was a year or so old and it’s on its last legs so just keeping it going is enough - she never listens to the radio anyway!

Ghosty Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Collection time. Won't be too interesting for now as I'm waiting for a lift off Junkman. The car I'm looking at may* have had a slight FTP yesterday. The reason why was disclosed in the ad - I just hope it's not got worse. Be fine, right?

dozeydustman Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Couple of advisories but the Mini passed. The reg plate light I think I have a spare for at home. Brake pad light was sorted Sunday but appears to have made a return visit, and I do have the front flexis at home. Annoyingly the flexis were not an advisory last time and are in worse condition than the old rears. Different station, different tester. Does look like in the near future I’ll be looking at another brake line replacement though. But I’ve had enough of car brakes for the time being, the hoses aren’t about to burst so when I do get a free weekend and this shitty weather ever passes.

There is NO REASON for this switch to not work. Yet it does not work. I pulled the stalks off my Mini and tried those. They work. So I need new stalks, so what? Stop complaining and buy some. Yah, sure, I will. But two things about this are infuriating me - first, this was not the fault I was fixing! The indicators worked fine with the broken stalk! Secondly, I wouldn't mind if the switch was just flat out broken, but not being able to find the fault is driving me crazy. There is no reason for this to not work! Whatever, for now I have my right hand indicator. The left is controlled from the stalk. The right is controlled from this discreet under dash switch for now. ...and if you think "that looks like bodged up shit, you should be ashamed" I fully agree. Whenever I see someone wielding their mulltimeter to do more than make the beeping noise, I panic. I know I can work it out eventually, but I'm just never actually confident. It's usually @SiC or @Zelandeth I see with bench kits and zappers, and my mind just does that Homer-humming-in-his-own-head thing. Nothing useful to add, like.

There is NO REASON for this switch to not work. This has happened to me - not with Marina indicator stalks - with switches that are connected with plugs. The contact pins in the switch moulding get stressed somehow when the plug is fitted and this stress deflects something such that the damn thing appears to not work. Unplug, continuity check and all is well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Gave the car a wash and polish. Even did the wheels and tailpipes. And even did the glass. Probably the last time I polish it.
