The grumpy thread

[Mr A Lawrence]

Nipped out today.

 

This happened.

 

Then this happened.

 

Which resulted in this happening.

[Cavcraft]

Bummer that Andy, all sorted now?

[Supernaut]

The irony of that username getting a flat tyre, then struggling to remove the wheel.

I'm hoping its not the ignition switch, it's been done before. The FCF recommends jiggling the key about as a test before getting the multimeter out.

 

Hate to break it to you but will be switch. I used to have jiggle it once in a while.

 

Check hrw. If that doesn't work is the switch.

 

Resistor pack does the speed, so even if knackered it will run at full speed.

Clutch gone in the van. Oh joy.

See,that's what messing around with the thing does to you......

[bub2006]

I've not messed with it!

[Mr A Lawrence]

Bummer that Andy, all sorted now?

No, not sorted yet.

 

Gonna ring jaguar tomorrow and laugh at their price for a new key.

 

Then gonna hammer an old socket over it then bin them!!

(Un)fortunately this was more my line of tyre work so wheel nuts were never a problem.

Do you have the key code? Ford do a replacement key for about £14 assuming it's the same McGard stuff they use. Few days wait mind

Good luck. Those Jag locking nuts are a weird design with a spinning cap on top and seem to be right pain in the ass. I replaced mine with plain nuts after the garage bust the key. They got at the actual nut by dremmeling a slot in the cap and splitting it with a chisel.

I think I have a set of locking nuts and a key in the garage from my s type, The thing is I'm in Durham.and away till Saturday.

Oh flip Bub, gone completely or seriously on its way out?

[bub2006]

It's felt a bit sticky for a few days. Started slipping on way home today . Next to nothing now mate.

[Negative Creep]

made the mistake of agreeing to drive my Dad in his car. queue three hours of him constantly leaning over to check the speedo, putting his hand on the dash telling me to brake, make sure i indicate, change gear etc. I've been driving for 15 years without an accident, but that doesn't seem to count for much.

Don't miss those days. Those Manitou things were the worst bastards I can remember to break the beads on, used to hate getting one of them as a job.

Jaguar and Land Rover use different lockers. I've seen the master-key set jaguar dealerships use- there were only about a dozen variations (maybe 16 at a push).

[DVee8]

Andy if you can wait and I can get them I think I know were they are I'll send them.

[Mr A Lawrence]

A cursory look on fleabay shows that they have a letter stamped on them, a,b,c,d etc.

 

Think I might sack them off and get 4 new wheel nuts.

[Mr A Lawrence]

Kind offer. Cars not going anywhere soon. Pm me with details

I always get more grumpy with dashes and occasionally commers

[Doctormop]

Celebrity status is questionable.

Death is inevitable.

When my time is nigh I will be called alongside many more worthy than myself

Keith Richards is still here, its nothing to do with righteousness, maybe do what you want and F**** what other people think.

So tired. Been up since 545, went to bed at 1am. 

 

Falling to pieces.

 

Been really grumpy for about a fortnight now, i suspect i've got Shingles - prickly feeling on my belly and back, but no rash. Rang 111 on Monday as it was so bad i couldn't wear a shirt, and they just said take paracetamol, and call the docs on Wednesday. 

 

Keep breaking down in tears too. For no real reason. I'm forty fucking seven FFS, not some two year old toddler whose had his blankie swiped. I'm on anti-depressants, (Mirtazepine?) but they don't seem to be helping. Had counselling in the summer - 6 x hourly sessions - but she couldn't convince me that i'm not completely useless as a son, brother, step-dad, husband, employee. So i tried to top myself. Couldn't even do that properly (OBVS!) took a shit load of assorted pills, hoyed them all up again. 

 

Just had enough now.

 

Sorry to be a black cloud, just thought if i typed it out, it'd make me feel better.
