Eyersey1234 Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 Both of them are near the Blue Bell Inn at Crookham in Northumberland if anyone is interested. It's an old coaching Inn, does really good food, I can certainly recommend. Neither of the cars appears to have moved for a long time which was why I am surprised they are both taxed.

Eyersey1234 Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 Looks like Henry has been MOT'd for another year, good to see he is still around. Eccles's MOT will take place at the end of next month and he will need a service then too. RoverFolkUs and Dyslexic Viking 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyersey1234 Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 Intermittently over the last few weeks the sat nav has started playing up, it comes up with insert SD card message. Anyone any ideas as to what is causing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyersey1234 Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 A thought has just occurred to me, I wonder if blocked pollen filters causing the heater motor to burn out was what caused the fires on Vauxhall Zafira Bs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoverFolkUs Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 It's the heater resistor and associated wiring that causes the Zafira fires. Cabin filters are an excellent indication of the level and quality of servicing a car has seen. They are a bloody pain on a lot of Fords but they can't be ignored forever. Doesn't cause too many issues to leave the filter neglected but you'll have inefficient heating/cooling in the HVAC system and unpleasant smells They rarely take more than 15 minutes to change on any car (bar a few exceptions) - no excuse for them to get left out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyersey1234 Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 Eccles booked in for 2 new tyres on Saturday, I'm getting Firestones on him as the cheaper tyres they had were all cheaper Chinese brands I had never heard of before. I also managed to catch a bit of trim yesterday and broke it off so I have to find a way of sticking it back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
