All that bumpyness is rust that's crept underneath the undercoating I did, so it's either rusted from the inside out or I didn't do a good enough job. I'll deploy the hammers and see if any new holes have appeared but I suspect I'm going to end up chasing my tail with this. They weren't made very well to begin with. At least a repair sections are cheap. I don't much fancy taking apart the front end. having owned a Micra , and having cleaned up offending item many times ... its not good news !!

richardmorris Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Useful fume cupboard supplier. 12 months now since the order with our local service company. The third confirmed and cancelled delivery date this Monday ( previous, were sept, and December )., Two were supposed to be delivered on Monday. One was delivered on Wednesday but no sign of the main £30000 one. Promises it was on its way at 6am, 8 am and 1pm today. Not arrived at 6pm by which time I’d been at work for 12 hours. Plumber was due to arrive tomorrow at 7 am to plumb it in so have postponed him. Useless shower of shit, sadly I don’t know who they are. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You scrapping the shell in that picture? I don't think I need to go that far... At least it's a known issue and the repair is rather well documented. Do I much fancy doing it? No, but I'll need to at some point as it holds the ratiator on as well as the engine-gearbox brace. I'm hoping I can just take a wire wheel and a hammer to it, only find surface rust and move on from there, but that does smell of wishful thinking. At least the rest of the body is still factory-fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, being M&S it's not like 99p but they do a Pizza meal deal : £10 for two pizzas and two sides. Half a pizza makes a meal and the "dirty fries" side option (cheesy spicy chunky chips) is a meal in itself too if you add half a tin of baked beans, so it's basically six meals just over a tenner. paulplom, Yoss, myglaren and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappy Hill car sales, I worked for the owner of that place, Mr. Royston Statham, he had a VX4/90 as his daily driver and his wife had a mk3 1.3 Cortina 3 door, in a kind of beige.

New POD Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Grumpy. Partly my own fault. Since starting this job in August, I have gradually put weight on. Why do I have zero self control. There's cakes in the office. I eat them. There's biscuits in a meeting. I take 5. There's a Friday morning breakfast run, I have the big one. There's sugar on my cereals and in my coffee. There's a snack machine waiting to.ambush me. There's a sandwich van that does warm pies. There's a couple of crumpets in the freezer that I can snaffle whilst the oven cooks my tea. There's a supper of cornflakes before bed. I could go for a walk at lunch time, but I sit and look at the internet. In the evenings I just slob out in from of the telly. 5 months and I've put on 1.5 stone. Wife is also not happy. I had a heart attack in 2020 and she rightly thinks I'm a bastard for not taking control of this addiction. She's right. I just need to eat 3 sensible sized meals a day, no pies, no cakes, no supper, no sugar, and do a little exercise and I could be a different shape. And at much less risk.

I've struggled with this for years, before I met MrsFL I weighed 16 stone, something clicked in my brain and I lost 5 stone in 8 months, felt great, met Mrs FL and over next 15yrs put over 8 stone on, tried loads of things but just could not control myself. Just started Slimming World and something seems to have clicked again, seems dead easy to lose weight after years of struggle, hope I can keep it up. The groups do help, having a set system to follow along with the accountability element seems to help me.. Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrGTI6 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I recently swapped a 2001 petrol Vauxhall for a 2001 petrol Volvo on here. Nothing wrong with the Volvo, quite the opposite in fact. The Vauxhall was ULEZ-exempt, so stupidly I assumed its replacement would be too, given that they were both petrol cars registered in the same year. It turns out the Volvo isn't exempt. I received a fine in the post this week for £160 (reduced to £80 if paid within 14 days). I fully expect to receive another fine in the next few days as I've driven into Central London in the Volvo on two separate occasions. If the Volvo was registered a few months later on a Y-reg (like the Vauxhall was), then it would be exempt. But because it's an X-reg, it doesn't comply. It's my own stupid fault for failing to check, and it looks like I'm going to have to move it on much sooner than planned. 😪 Remspoor, AnnoyingPentium and tooSavvy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to change all of them in one go, but could you pick one from that list and make a resolution to change it? I read a while ago that your body tells you that you are hungry at the same time every day. So if you have a snack at 10am the next day at 10am it will go 'Oi, wheres the food' and you'll go get a bag of crisps etc. However, it only takes a few days to make it 'unlearn' the routine. So if you don't eat that mid morning pie for a few days you'll stop wanting it. I tried this and it worked and for a long time, I got the routine where I just ate breakfast lunch and tea every day and my body didn't complain once it got used to me not eating 4 bags of crisps, spam and egg sarnie and a pack of mars bars every day. However I've gone to shit in the last couple of years too. I really need to get back into the routine. BorniteIdentity and myglaren 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A video from Carwow.es I have wondered ,if they are illegal in Spain, then do they disable them on Teslas? the N332 website here distinguishes between cameras that operate only when the ignition is on (mostly when driving then) rather than on all the time, like those that wake up and start recording if the car is nudged. For that reason mine is just wired to the cigarette lighter, so only on when I drive. I can have the radio on without the ignition being on so it is not filming when I'm parked up. But then, Spanish motoring laws are bizarre at times, the latest one is that you cannot drive whilst wearing a coat. They don't say how they define a coat, but no doubt the Police will say a jacket is a coat if they can extort some Euro's from you carburettor, tooSavvy and myglaren 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
