Improved feature for unsubscribing from email notifications

First post

As part of the work being done to improve the deliverability of emails, I have made some changes to the system for unsubscribing from email notifications.

These changes are to ensure stricter compliance with RFC2369 and RFC8058 (which are the internet standards for such things), there are also some additions for Microsoft-specific rules which are...

Yes, it does work.
Paintbrush used for Hammerite or solvent-based paint just needs a good agitate in tiny quantity of solvent first. Then a hefty squirt of bio liquid in a jar, work about with brush, then add some warm water. Do second time to get an absolutely clean brush.

I had the Berlingo remapped, it's gone from 90bhp to a dyno'd 123bhp and 201lb/ft of torque.

Haven't had chance to drive it much until today due to sending other parts away for refurb.

What a difference! I can use a higher gear, thus lower revs almost everywhere and it gives a genuine shove in the back when you ask it to.

Well worth the money...

Repair Instrument Circuit board.....Xantia

Not mine but a V6 Activa owner in Brazil

The Fuel and Speedo have stopped and he reports problems with the circuit board being the problem....not sure what exactly the problem is atm so a bit of a general question
Can they (assume corroded/broken) repaired ?

Or...if anybody has one....would you sell it...

Last post

I concur, if you look carefully at each joint, especially the ones on the connectors you will often see a crack in the solder around the connection, just run some solder onto the joint making sure it has all melted together, don't leave the soldering iron on there to long or all the flux will evaporate, the joint should be shiny when done.

Thanks to Addo for his contribution to the Awful/Interesting Camper vans thread identifying this as a rat camper, and previously describing a VW Camper as a Roughie . This added to my nephew's VW Golf which he has purposely prepared in a rusty stickerised distressed manner, has led me to being more educated than I was to the phenomenon of the...

307 Aniti Pol fault after carpet stuck under throttle

by Stickyfinger » 04 Apr 2016, 17:20

First post

I have been asked why a 307 would throw a Anti Pollution fault after a rubber mat got stuck under the throttle.

Any comments ?

Also....my Lexia will not read the car.....I have one with 7.02 installed

Code on the dongle/unit is 9780.Z5

Last post

Does a 03 plate 2ltr HDI 307 have a DPF ?...it is on the cusp of fitting it ?

Yep: trying to get the Lexia working to find out the faults.

reportedly, the DePol Fault came on when the throttle got stuck

Will try to connect it tomorrow with the engine running.

If you could own any French car what would you go for?

Last post

Have to agree on the R16, the styling is so simple it's brilliant. And the R4 takes some beating - back in the day when Renault made decent cars . . .

. . . now where have I heard that before? :roll:

Yesterday i was made an offer to swap my XM for another car, the vehicle offered was of 1989 vintage and was produced by ford, i refused in a polite way but can anyone guess what it was with such poor clue's?

Last post

My cousin had a new probe many years ago, quite nice looking but I wouldn't swap an XM for it. When I had my first XM everything else I tried was rubbish in comparison.

A post to warn everyone about Morette.com. I ordered and paid for a conversion for my 305 van in mid December and have received nothing.
Have sent numerous emails. Nothing.

I know of one other guy who ordered lights Oct 15 and got nothing. £450.

A company in Scotland stands to lose £2000.

Data Backup Rant...

I don't usually rant publicly about things, but this is something that has been *really* getting my back up lately.

One one of the art sharing websites I'm on I've seen no less than five journals pop up in my inbox with headings along the lines of computer crashed, have lost everything or similar in the last few days.

We're talking here about...

I don't bother with tape at all as I have a dual bay NAS that I can easily grab in the case of a fire as all two connections on it, power and Ethernet will disconnect with the slightest amount of force so I could grab it in the case of fire and such like but am also installing a second one remotely that will do daily synchs over tinterwebs.

Anyone living near Mulhouse (FR), who'd store some seats for me?

by svip » 01 Mar 2016, 19:25

First post

As discussed in my Xantia seats thread , I have become interested in replacing my cloth Activa seats with leather seats, as they have a bit more functionality.

I've found a whole set of Activa leather seats near Mulhouse in France. Now that's a long drive from where I live (Copenhagen, Denmark), but as luck would have it, I am actually passing...

Last post

I should mention that I will most likely be picking up the seats near the beginning of April. Either 4 or 12 of April. Or somewhere around those dates.
