Just been out in the Focus, first proper cold drive out in it for a while, headlights, blowers, both heated screens, radio etc all switched on. And the alternator is whining under load, so is on its way out basically.. Just like this video https://youtube.com/shorts/7pAvOwmcru0?feature=share Oh well, can't really complain. It looks original and it's not wanted for much else recently that sound pretty normal for a loaded alternator tbh- they do sing a little when working hard myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outlaw118 Posted October 15, 2022 Author Share Posted October 15, 2022 Had Covid booster, so 4th dose this morning at 10.15. Feel like shite now, actually had T'Rona a couple of months ago, and I feel worse now! myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myglaren Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Had my fourth booster on Wednesday. As with the prior ones, no reaction whatsoever. High Jetter, outlaw118, auntiemaryscanary and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Jetter Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 4th booked later this month. First 3 were the only injections in my life that didn't make me pass out. Hope that continues. outlaw118 and myglaren 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 It's reached the time of year when my house goes from cool/chilly to fucking Baltic. The solution is obviously to go and sit in Costa all day again. Coprolalia, outlaw118, AnnoyingPentium and 2 others 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelandeth Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Been back in Milton Keynes for about two hours now after a holiday in the US for two weeks. I am already losing the will to live again and feel like I never left. Few things highlight how unpleasant a place is than not being there for a while. Why people just seem to go so far out their way to be assholes here I just don't understand. myglaren and AnnoyingPentium 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hennabm Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I had my 4th one and felt shit afterwards for a couple of days. It was the Moderna. Having had Covid in August it wasn’t far off being the same all over again. outlaw118 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I'm going for my top up jab next Tuesday. I felt fine after the first three so I'm hoping it will be again. Here's hoping. outlaw118 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't feel much effected by the first 2 (my wife reckoned I was acting tired though), the 3rd made me tired for a day or so, not good when assembling a wardrobe! The most recent one just made my arm sore for 2-3 days afterwards. outlaw118 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulplom Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Puncture in the pug yesterday morning down the fish quay. Jacked it up but the fucker was welded to the drum. I did loosen the wheel nuts and bounced it up a couple of kerbs but it still wouldn't loosen. I had to drive a mile home to get a mash hammer to it. It's fucked the tyre though. The date of the spare is 2011 which is also the age of the car. It didn't look like it's been used though. Two new ones are cheap enough though. I'll clean and copper grease the hubs when I take the wheels to get the tyres swapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulplom Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Oh and I stood back on the wheeltrim smashing it. I have three spares in the lockup that my mate the previous owner gave me. It was cheaper to buy four as a set rather than an individual. It has a headlight bulb out too. I changed it last year and it's a bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the spigot that was holding the ones on that I've had a problem with. I ran the grinder round it to clean it up and it was perfect after that. paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulplom Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Aye, that's where it was caught. I've got one of those wire brush things for my drill. I'll whip that around when I take the wheels off. Tickman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do get a bit stuck , normally a good kicking gets them off , as u say , clean and grease up the hub spigot . How did it handle with a flat on the back ? Just wondering in case mine has a rear tyre go ..as I am may have to trash a tyre to get to a safe place . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first thought I felt something about four miles previous going around a roundabout. I then got to the fish quay went round a corner and felt something again. I pulled over aboht half a mile later to check just in case. In a straight line I couldn't tell. MikeR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
