vulgalour Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Replacement relay on the Xantia has started showing the same breaking down symptoms as the one I took off. Dismantled the old one, cleaned it - glossy paper and WD40 seemed the favoured safe method so I used that to remove the surface muck on the contacts - to find when it was refitted it at least lit up the glowplug light but won't do anything else. That is to say, when you try and start the car it goes back to flashing the glowplug light and clicking a lot. Refitted the replacement again, which is a right palaver with it being a battery out job, and while it's working it's not working well and I have no confidence that cleaning it will help. Guess I better get a brand new one, which is £40-60, which obviously I don't have at the moment. OH WELL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakebullet Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 http://youtu.be/RayujNcmu1E It's too bastard hot. I've spent most of the day in the garage drilling valve caps, but will have spent the profits on tins of pop n fresh kecks from sweating buckets. Everyone I know on arsebook appears to have gone to the beach / bbq / on the lash / right keg / bunch of twats while as usual I'm working. For additional bonus grump, I went to the docs cos my knees fucked again, and mentioned I'm generally in pain everywhere. She tells me it's prolly you're an old fart, but have a blood test form. Then got a letter 2 days later... plz make an appointment to see the doctor to discuss the results of your blood test. So somethings knackered, but as she ticked every box on the form it could be anything. Or everything. I'm scared as they're not usually remotely efficient.

dugong Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Chest has gone very tight with hayfever. I was going to cover a show for work tomorrow but I might not bother now. At the moment my choices are limited to: 1. Moving and coughing while struggling to breathe 2. Not moving much and coughing less (while struggling to breathe). Today has been a total write off - been asleep for most of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abit like someone saying "I got back from holiday last Thursday" Is that Thursday two days ago or Thursday 9 days ago? I would think the Thursday 9 days ago, otherwise why not just say "I got back on Thursday" michael1703 and alf892 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sore knee, an aching shoulder, a bruised foot then get on with it. But anything chest / breathing related you have to rest mate. dugong, chaseracer and Sealtainn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain_70s Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Work as split the wifi at work into two sections, "management" internet and "guest" internet. Guess which me and my fellow factory floor plebs are allowed access to... The management internet has a 22Mbps download speed, the guest network has a 0.07Mbps download speed. I didn't know it was possible to get internet that slow any more, I thought sort of shit died out circa 1999. This means I can't browse Autoshite on my phone during lunch break because it takes literal minutes to load the homepage and sometimes it's so slow the internet app just gives up and crashes... alf892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moog Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Sold my heart monitor on eBay. Guy had asked 3 lots of different questions before it was sold including one 20mins before end. Put decent pictures up and he was muttering about scratches etc. All the bells started ringing in my head. Couriered it to him (everyday he asked me if it had been sent yet). Last night got a message saying it was slow and one of the buttons doesn't work and the YouTube videos online were no help (wtf). All working when I posted it. I think he was after a Garmin or something for £40. Fucking cock womble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
