The injectors are pushed into aluminium brackets. Will they come out? Will they fuck. This ungrateful bastard of a car does not want to return to the road. Left them soaking in plus gas. Poured boiling water over them prior to clamping them in a vice and using a 10mm socket as a drift - they are all out. Aluminium corrosion has clamped the rubber washers - and done a very good job of it. In fact I think this kind of corrosion should be used as a way of joining metals. myglaren, somewhatfoolish, stonedagain and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was; IIRC Trevithick held the wheels on his locomotive with iron filings mixed with piss. I'm sure the method was quite common in the millwright era.

omegod Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I went to the local jetwash earlier, huuuuge queue but I waited in line for ages like a good boy, they have 3 bays and one was filled by a twat with a 3 series who unloads a full on valet kit, snow foam, wheel brushes , chamois and fuck knows how many bottles of jizz. He occupied the bay for nearly an hour , spending £3 max for the occasional rinse and does a full on forensic detail of his car, pissed me right off ! I then went to put air in a tyre and watched in wonder as a woman in a qasqui went round each tyre 4 times in a ten minute routine, I thought about asking what she was doing but in the name of equality didn't. I pulled up to the airline when she left to see it was set at 3.3 bar, i.e 48 PSI ......... that's gonna shake her fillings out over the speedbumps !! puddlethumper, Remspoor, Tenmil Socket and 7 others 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than getting it home and finding out, then feeling peeved as it may have not been mentioned on the thread. Don't forget some folk live from paycheck to paycheck, so can't always afford surprises. Not mentioned because there’s nothing on the V5 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the dark about what significance it would be; other than possibly affecting a pay-out but when it's a £500 motor the excess will wipe out most of that anyway.

At some point today a local scrap firm came round and leafleted the majority of my cars. I'd find it funny too if I wasn't so disheartened by the experience. They were all parked together as well! Just one leaflet through the letterbox would suffice, and leave me guessing which one you think is shit - not all of them goddamnit! A while back, a similar operation put leaflets on every single car in my street. Except one. The CX. myglaren, rob88h and Tickman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidel_Kakao Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Just been down to the bottom of my garden for the first time in months to find some cunt has broken into my garden shed😪 Nothing stolen as far as I can tell as it was virtually empty so I am more annoyed about the broken door. Probably a bit premature (I am not even 40 yet) but can anyone recommend a country I can retire to where people respect the notion of private property and don't fuck with other people's shit? Or is the whole world like this nowadays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitsisigma01 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Any Sky+ brainiacs on here please?..... Every night I'm having to try and watch something I want to watch at fkin stupidoclock, I can't even record anything on sky+ because the box is permanently at 99% full of shite and she even records stuff through the night so I only get to choose off catchup.... I can feel a sky+ box overload/big hammer moment coming on.... I've already got a 2tb sky box to go in but she doesn't want to lose the shite she has already recorded... Is it possible to get a "free" card to allow access to the old box whilst using current active card in new box HHHHEEELLLPPP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balford Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 There's a tool called ExPVR (not free, unfortunately) that you can use to copy recordings off of your old drive onto a new one. You just need to be able to hook both drives up to a Windows PC temporarily to do the transfer. mitsisigma01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wack Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 When you know something is going on but there's nothing you can really do about it La liga spain's premier league has an app that shows people scores but when you accept the terms it gives them permission to turn the Mike and GPS on What they would do is turn it on when a live game was being played and the GPS told them you were in a pub They'd listen to see if the game was on in the pub then check to see if they'd paid the licence fee , if not they'd fine you Fuck me , they have been fined for it twosmoke300 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TataBobu Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Suzuki is acting up. I can drive it all day, and nothing looks wrong. As soon as I stop and start the engine again (while hot), oil pressure light comes on and hardly if ever goes out again. I guess it's a pressure switch problem, or a wiring problem. I hate not having proper pressure checking tools to be 100% sure it's just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope you don't wake up one morning to find that the box* has 'gone wrong' and deleted everything! If she's recording stuff and it's at 99%, some of the early stuff is being deleted - does she really need all of it? Another trick is to avoid recording in HD, so taking up less space.

Never record in HD, Always watching something whilst recording something to replace it with.... She plays the sky programme listings like she's playing the stock market, shuffling, rescheduling, making reminders on her ipad about when programmes are on more than a week in advance etc etc ... I've definitely heard that I can do a reboot* using a lump hammer. Ive just looked at the planner, still got the first film recorded on this box unwatched... March 2015 😵😵😵 She has also still got the original sky+ box from prior to 2015 upstairs just in case she wants to watch some of the other programmes and that box is full as well😵😵😵 Sky+is about her limit, never used Netflix or Chromecast or whatever they are called...
