Cool! I even started filmed a suitably integrated rest of the video (melted brushroll)

Then failed after that, android won't connect to the dongle' Bluetooth! I can see it, pair to it but never connect. Without that basic part the app doesn't see it 😂 Will try again later then send them an email...

 

OK, once I downloaded the app the manual directed me to it worked immediately 😂

And found a glow plug circuit code

This is the fancy* pdf report you can make from it's scan. Off to my mums tomorrow and can park right by her wifi and play a bit more, want to get the app on my android headunit and see if the actual app is as meh as it seems, the checking codes bit of the app is like a side feature. Need to try torque, is that still any good?

Had to set the clock on the car stereo (No RDS) the other day and didn't have my phone or a watch so I had to guess. Checked it today against my phone and I was bang on to the minute! 
Wee things like that nourish the soul. 😁

another frosty morning to watch the car defrost ..

which I have found that by parking the car so it faces the rising sun , and a little bit away from the houses out of the shadows ...

that the car defrosts screen first , which in turn heats the dash , which defrosts the rest of the car , 

meanwhile next doors car still looks like an iceburg ....

We're going to need considerably bigger woods, maybe with an old abandoned deep quarry feature 😉

May railway tunnels are disused. Just saying.

Sublime in that cameo he did in One Foot in the Grave. As a bit of a Britcom nerd I watched it twice this year. An absolute fucking masterpiece: comedy, pathos, black humour, brilliant.

Took the dog out for a long walk around the fields , and past the local fly tip , and there was a pile of crap , all nicely piled into a Amazon delivery box complete with delivery address .....

Some people are thick ...... For what they do and how they do it ....

No way is it true. How big does a sandcastle have to be to block your view? It's far too perfect as an emmet v locals story to be remotely believable!

Edit: if anyone were to prove me/us wrong, that would be excellent.

I upset a Audi driver today ..

I went slow whilst finding a parking spot so he then sat behind me flashing his lights which got him a wave ...  So I then indicated and waited for a van to clear a spot I could use , he managed a wave back once I was out of the way and he could zoom off , towards the speed bumps ...... 

Made my day .... Can't these people wait ?

Doesn’t look like a Q7 either, more like a Q3.
