480 went in for MOT today with zero prep. I had it done a few months early as our baby is due just before expiry. Crossed fingers I wouldn’t have to add more jobs to my expanding list of jobs and the wonderful old thing passed! Usually they need handbrake adjustment every year.

C6 tomorrow… I ‘m pretty confident in that doing the same.

C6 also passed with a few advisories! Woohoo!

Fleet of shite and all going well. Feels strange!

We played an evil trick on the gaffer on Friday.  The drivers electric window switch on one of the vans has been broken all week and he ended up driving it on a removal.  One of the lads spent the whole journey flicking the passenger side switch up to make the relay click every few seconds.

First I knew of it was him driving it into the yard while thumping the door trim and swearing.  We stuck the kettle on while he started to take the van apart with someone constantly watching* from the passenger side, ready to keep flicking the switch.  After an hour or so we had to let him know what was going on before he started buying parts on eBay 🤣

Yesterday was my last day of working at my employer as I've got another job.  I've taken two weeks of holiday and TOIL and start on the 19th at the new place.

Just as I was wrapping things up and handing over to a couple of colleagues on some of my projects, I get an email asking me if I'd be interested in applying for a £350-a-day contracting job in London.  I'm not interested for various reasons but that email came in just as I was talking about the pay at my old employer being one of the reasons I was leaving.  As if it was sent specifically to prove a point.  Laughed like a drain.

This was originally going to be a grump, but after a bit more prodding, my P9100r came back to life having not seen the inside of a car for over a decade!

I've also this to sort out, I hope for a similar issue, but the loom is manky on it.  I do have the CDX M30 changer and full loom with it though, and that bit seems to power up OK!

Electric car chargers on the Isle Of Wight showing porn. :D

 

Quote

 

MOTORISTS got more than they bargained for when trying to charge their electric cars at Isle of Wight Council car parks.

The website displayed on the council's signs has been hacked, and users found themselves directed to a graphic flashing porn site.
