 My Granvia has been taking a few goes to fire up lately with just a click from the starter motor then on the second or third try she's usually away.

Looking online I found a solenoid repair kit for £18.00 so got one delivered and went to it.

It's a heavy old thing.

And a bit shagged too.

A leisurely hour and a half later and the starter motor is happy again.

And for added win I found a 10mm combi spanner in the undertray.

Starter motor works a treat now and for added win I found a 10mm combi spanner in the undertray.

Now I know where that 10mm one went!
What's the green string for?

Sky plus? Pah ! Sky glass is where it's at now innit, spending a grand on a telly + £alot / month just to receive the same shit channels over a different transmission medium 😅

Sky Glass?

Nah, this shit

Just the branding for the TVs they're selling. No need for a separate box as the channels are sent to the TV via the internet (I think?)

Other than that, they're just normal telly's that do everything a normal modern smart tv does

So unless you have satellite internet

 

It's not sky. It's just ass.

I think it's just like an online streaming service and they have done away with satellite altogether, basically Netflix with more crap

That is extremely creative and detailed, she could go far as a graphic designer if it's something she enjoys

Thanks man. Always been a creative, kids got talent for sure and smart as a button, school ain’t for all. Ain’t worried about her she’ll do just fine.

My favorite chocolate is on sale and even better it was the larger version which is rare. So now the only challenge is not to eat 2.4 kg of chocolate at once.

Not yet, but I like to save money so this sale was too good to pass up.

When I had a place in Norway I'd always buy that for my kids, they love it.

Norwegian chocolate is surprisingly good, I find it much better than chocolate from abroad.

Fantastic news, now get that cowardly bitch extradited over here.

[High Jetter]

What, to get a suspended or 'community punishment'? At tax-payers expense? It'd be fine if she was going down, but what are the chances?

Never going to happen. She’ll get a small fine and community service, suspended.

[wuvvum]

To be fair, that's all Harry Dunn's family wants - for her to be held accountable and face up to what she's done in a court of law.  They have no desire to see her locked up for a lengthy period.

I've been looking for a car that's insurable for my daughter to drive, a guy I know has a suzuki splash 1.0 that's had a bump at the back, he's fixing it ( very slowly) but it's 40 miles away

I've been trying to find one to show my wife, scouring car parks for weeks to no avail 

Then this afternoon, there's one, in front of us at the lights, a red one, turned into lidl and there's a white one parked, went in came out and there's a blue one next to our car 

At this point I'm starting to think someone is taking the piss and arranged a suzuki splash meet at lidl
