gm Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Look at the fucking state of this someone has had a major leak as this went on for about five miles, it was like driving on ice. what really pissed me off was that while most of us were pootling along at 30mph, several dickheads weren't happy with this and went bombing past papping their horns. I called it in to the police as someone was going to get in trouble sooner or later.

SierraMikeHotel Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I did Latin at grammar school. Bellum, bellum, bellum etc. Anyone else remember Ecce Romani? (Edit: yes you do. Read the thread properly now). Posting here because my probably broken rib /still/ hurts, four weeks on. If you're nearly forty and the oldest person at the stag do, just don't fucking well play the zorb football. Sit at the side and drink your beer like a sensible old man.

gm Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I'm not sure about buses but it would be an obvious diversion for high sided vehicles if it's too windy for them on the Forth bridge. I was more annoyed at the recklessness of the other drivers when it was so bloody obvious there was a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New POD Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I did Latin at school too. It was possibly the most useful thing I did at secondary school, but that's not saying much.I did geometric and engineering drawing grade A at O level. Got 98 % in the mock This one subject has been more useful than half of what I was taught on an Engineering Degree and is something that 35 years later is still useful to me everyday. Latin ? What BALLOCKS is that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 It's dead easy, so it's a way for people of low intelligence to achieve at least one exam pass, at least that's what it was for me. I did get a few other O Grades and Highers but they've all gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called it in to the police as someone was going to get in trouble sooner or later. (avoid the A977 from Kincardine to Kinross for a few days, especially if you have shitty tyres like I do) On our journey back north yesterday, we did notice 3 people had fallen off the road in the rain, maybe oil / diesel spills had something to do with it? First was at a roundabout at the edge of Dunfermline. A Corsa had gone straight into the concrete block at the end of the armco separating the two sides of the dual carriageway while coming off a roundabout. The front was totally stoved in. Occupants were standing next to it and looked unharmed though. Then, just round the corner, the M90 sliproad was closed and had police vehicles plus a recovery wagon on it, dragging something out of the barrier. Then on the sliproad down into Perth, one lane was blocked by a flatbed dragging a Yaris out of the hedges. The Yaris was facing completely the wrong way too.

gm Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 it was pretty dicey in the 107, bumbling along at 30 in second I could spin the wheels if I planted the throttle the slightest touch of the brake pedal had abs going mental. the tyres are all legal but in need of changing, I'll bung the winters on next week.

Richard Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 The current shape Transit van has no fuel cap. Some of them are over three years old so they're getting through the MOT like that too. Ford claim they have a clever double flap system that keeps the fuel in, but it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiC Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 TT "fixed". VAGCOM gave this. Google said removing the motor is straightforward. 5 bolts to remove the glovebox (one was missing) presented me with this. Disconnecting the connector, pull a tab down and twist the motor. Motor drops out the bottom. Leaving this. Crap was up in the hole. Motor spun freely. Disconnected the motor connection that goes onto the hedgehog. Attached to power pack. [Video] Seemed to work alright. Put car back together. Fan works fine now... At least it was easy to remove. Some cars require the whole dash apart. I guess VAG made it easy to remove, as being a VAG part, it's probably a consumable... Bloody thing. Apparently giving the footwell a good kick gets them going again often. Usually the brushes worn out. Never had this problem on a car before, at least not a car that's only 10yrs old. Being VAG the part is shared with a million other models, so cheap(ish) and readily available brand new. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F251653534300 The Moog and Craig the Princess 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
