The Moog Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I have got a couple of work updates* but can't do them with the forum as it is as lots photos and text don't seem to mix so gave up. Waiting for Tapatalk as that was my preferred poison. *Nothing exciting - mx5 brakes, golf locks and temp sensor. BorniteIdentity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrydicky Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 The new forum wouldn't let me log in. I reset my password (using the same one as before!!) and it let me in even though it complained the password was weak. Didn't know adblock is starting to be clamped down on and that makes me very grumpy indeed. It makes the internet (and YouTube in particular) useable. It's bad enough when some websites force you to switch it off to access them. I'm grumpy about the weather today, it's switching between warm sunshine and torrential rain, wind and hail.

richardmorris Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Tyres on the drive didn’t turn up this morning. I had a txt and email at 7.30 saying they’d be here between 8 and 12. I had a haircut at 7 and was back from waitrose dead on 8. Nothing heard by 1pm so I got in touch. Their system says both that the tyres were fitted and that the fitter turned up but couldn’t contact me. Also the fitter apparently drove back to base and resigned. Bets that he just couldn’t be bothered to do any work ? anyway, they’re now supposed to be coming tomorrow between 12 and 2. home fitting is supposed to take the stress and effort out of life, not add to it. I was going to recommend them, but holding off for now. Time will tell. Also talking to my friend jan this morning as she was cutting my hair she was saying that her partner’s new e350 Mercedes ( he chauffeurs) needed two tyres last week at £180 each! Plus an mot ( needs one for tfl private hire twice a year despite the age), TfL’s own £160 annual test and is now subject to a daily £12 emission charge despite being euro 6 compliant. Something black cabs and buses don’t have to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sealtainn Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I’m here too but 75% of my tools & the Granada are in Bulgaria, plus can’t do anything with it till my garage is built and I move it in there from the barn so the barn to living room conversion can begin. Focus CC waiting to go into the garage next week for new brakes all round, replacement springs, full service & MoT. Buick still down with Rob, ABS fault still not sorted after throwing over £400 at it so now going for a pair of new rear hub assemblies to see if that sorts it out so another £300+ bill to come on that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulplom Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 My local garage that I've used for 20 years and mentioned on here a few times has closed it's doors for the last time. Due to ill health and retirement. Genuinely gutted and not sure what the fuck I'm meant to do now. I trusted them completely and I never even asked them for prices they were that fair.

gm Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 +1 on Andy's garage, not the easiest to get to but you could drop your motor off in the morning then take the kids to beamish for a day out while he twiddles the spanners ? or there's Rocket Garage (surely worth it for the exciting name) in cullercoats which is well regarded by Jim Bell. paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sterling Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Lost my bastard wallet. The bastard thing finally escaped from me. Now its a plethora of telephone calls. Worst thing is, DVLA wabt to charge me £20 to have a replacement licence yet I've lost my wallet so I wont be abel to pay for that until I get my replacement card which won't be until next week.

dozeydustman Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 A) I still can't get to grips with this new version of the Beige Forum. bee) I ordered a new front lower wishbone for the Saab last week. It arrived over the weekend and I was going to fit it today. I've been sent a nearside one (as the MoT fail sheet says that's the knackered one). I got under the car earlier and the offside one is all wanky, so either the MoT station has put the wrong side down or that one has failed as well (I can't find any play in the nearside one at all). C) Mother In Law is in hospital, delirious with some kind of infection. No MIL jokes here, she's still a bit of a wildchild at 74 and you can have a good laugh with her.

It looks like they've bent the door frame at the top & got on that way,the lock hadn't been forced. Police gave me a crime number,& that's all. Tried ringing a couple of local scrap dealers to see if anyone had weighed in a load of alloys,but no joy there. Brilliant. The authorities can't see that this is why crime is going up, 1% chance of being caught ,100% chance the sentence is going to be 100 hours of unpaid work , what a joke 155V6 and myglaren 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled_Tat_Gatherer Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 What a fucking weekend...……. Torn my tendons above the knee and a tear in my Quad muscle too…… so crutches. Pissed off already after about 20mins of that malarky. 330CI - exhaust blow - can't do it - it's a fucking manual so can't drive it to the garage so I can get under and fit the gaskets. MR Spyder - can't do it - it's a fucking manual so can't drive it to the garage so I can get under and fit the chassis braces on the way Golf - can't collect it - can't use a fucking clutch! Boxster - can't collect it - can't use a fucking clutch! SON OF A BITCH! - I know - I'll use one of the bader-matics. Granvia - 120A alternator fuse blows after I for some inexplicable reason, connect the positive first! I'm a tool. Can I get a 120A fuse in Belgium..... Not unless I unbolt one from a local Toyota on the street. Spares and Dealers all fucking clueless. the 'techs' all gormless twats. I even had one pop the bonnet on a more modern Camry and pointed out it uses the same fucking fuse - still no help. Dicks the lot of them! XJR - exhaust decides it doesn't like being in any way silencing - so now sounds like a 400Ft tall hoover is on turbo mode. Again - local places useless. Ordered bits from NL - see if I can find someone to fit them as I'm as fucking useless as the dealer bitches……… FUCK YOU - HEATHEN EFFIGY OF AUTOMOBILES...……… leg hurts a lot too - but I'm more pissed with the rapid decline of the fleet in 48hrs! somewhatfoolish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New POD Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 3 hours ago, strangeangel said: Police driver who knocked suspect off moped may face misconduct case If anyone should face misconduct charges, it should be the most senior officer that knew this was a tactic that was to be used or being used and did not attempt to stop it. The police officer who actually rams the little fuckers is just following orders. I don't want to get into a string them up by the balls type discussion, because criminals on stolen mopeds are a scurge on society, and they need to be stopped. But maybe this sort of thing needs to be legislated in parliament, rather than one police force deciding to bend the rules. If society decides that helmetless, scroates are fair game, then change the law and make it a thing we are all allowed to do.
