Two 90 year old men, Mike and Joe, have been friends all of their lives.
When it's clear that Joe is dying, Mike visits him every day. One day Mike says, Joe, we both loved rugby all our lives and we played rugby on Saturdays together for so many years. Please do me one favour, when you get to Heaven, somehow you must let me know if there's rugby...

Because of the reasons I stated in my guide - SSDs use the SATA standard, the NG4 uses IDE (PATA). At the pure hardware level PATA in completely incompatible with SATA without an adapter - with PCs and windows for example you can use a software driver to interface between the 2, but you don't have this facility with the automotive system. So a bit...

... I've had another idiot on another free to sell app ask me why I have covered my reg, is it because it has been involved in any illegal activities and is it a cut 'n' shut, i gave up and blocked him.

Just thought i'd pass on the info for others to be wary of, has anyone else been targeted by Ann.

Hi

Next week (09/01) Lidl are doing a few car bits, including a dash cam from Nextbase;

There is a hidden bonus with flat white (and maybe black, too) - they are unlacquered, so nothing to peel.

Now that is a bonus, I have had to refurbish and relaquer large parts of my C5 and there are still some bits needing sorting!! :)

Sorry, forgot to add that it cost about £200 to do.

Citroen have a range of mechanics handbooks available, mostly for some models before and up to 2005 that are freely available to registered users. To make these more easily available to others, I have assembled the available resources into a table below with links to relevant PDF file which you can download.

These are in English and in PDF...

Thanks very much! For some reason the last index page of my 207 handbook was missing; I now know what it says..!

Hard to say - ring them up and enquire first, they may oblige or tell you they'll provide one at your next service!

eBay have a 10% off offer on until 23.59hrs 6th November. Various TS&C's apply, minimum spend £50, maximum discount £75, only available on NEW items by using the code. Refer to eBay for more details.
Might be a good time to hunt down cheap oil deals. Just saying :)

You should now be able to go back and tick additional options - I have changed permissions to make this available so you can do it yourself now hopefully.

May not apply to your model but when I mentioned it to the people doing my tracking they were aware and also mentioned Range Rovers being similar - the trick being to open the tailgate if the wheels were to be hanging.

I'm more worried that they could damage the height sensors now that they're old and brittle. But I have seen airbags come off...

I have a PDF version of a 2013 manual if you want one that you can download. Let me know and I'll email it to you.

I agree with your description, Simon, but the fact remains that the washer valves never open fully , in the sense that the large flow holes (two in each direction) are unrestrictedly open as if the washers were not there. They may crack open by a good few degrees (no idea by how much exactly) but never anything even approaching 45°, or they would...

As Mike says, there are options in each email notification to unsubscribe from the relevant topic and I did a quick illustrated post showing users where and how to update their general email notifications using this link:

Review Your Email Notifications

Is it possible that you have hit 'preview' then neglected to hit 'submit'?
I'm sure I have more than once.

Yes been guilty of that on more than once, and the same applies to PM's but in my case is i hit preview and not submit then navigate away :cry:

Thanks Marc, very helpful

I did laugh at a group of chinese ladies inspecting all and everything they came across, thinking to myself I bet you know someone that makes that junk !

You found a shop that sells junks?

As did the Chinese ladies :P

That seems a bit naughty - upping the price like that!

That price seems pretty good, but if you change your mind I'll happily run up to Jim's and get it or could as actually pick it up on Saturday morning from the seller and call on Jim on my way

Mike, as always, it would be lovely to see you :)

I though i had posted on this one yesterday but hay ho, thanks for the heads up as the lads one ( 2003 xsara picasso 1.8 dohc petrol ) seems a little sluggish when starting, so will check when he is on holiday in about 2 weeks, cam belt time.

I just like the whole site , its very helpful and full of what's needed.
Maybe a YouTube channel with how to videos and vlogs ?

Too bad the photos aren't loading properly but the links are still working so I'm going to use that

Nice tip thanks Jim, will have to get an eye out. No need to worry about Win10 either, 7 does all I need and more :D

The current stable release is 2.8.22. There are Exif Viewer extensions freely available, but I tend to use Photoshop in the main (as I couldn't be bothered to learn another image editing programme). I do dive into Gimp every now and then, but as luck would not have it, I am shortly going to be in the middle of a Windows 10 repair, so can't look...

There 2 sizes belts for late 1.9 TD's depending on the Air con compressor.

Sanders 1735mm and Delphi 1752mm. The eccentric tension is locked in place for easy removal and fitting.

Kenny

Read the post immediately above in reply to Taffy's question ;)

In short,

Click on this link:

Damnit!

Should have locked it :(

Have now :P

That's very valuable when reading wiring Diagrams Marc. Excellent :D

Everything I buy from Japan, China, Taiwan, Singapore and Greece I always get them to declare the value as <£15 so there are no customs charges.
Most of them do this automatically now anyway.
Same from USA & Canada but rarely buy from there now.

The rear sensor mount is a brilliant piece of lateral thinking. Obvious really - once someone has thought of it!
