Raising its head on eBay at the moment is a resurrection of a previous scam. It's either a case where a seller's account has been hacked (you lot do change your passwords and make them hard to guess, don't you....... ? :wink: ), or a new account is set up. They're selling a whole range of vehicles : ordinary cars, classics, caravans, tractors,...

Thank you for all the information, this helps me a lot since I'm an average joe when dealing with this stuff! :-D

I spotted the tail end of a GSA drive past me in the middle of Glasgow the other day. I was gutted that I didn't get a close look at it - I was parked on the side of the road waiting for SWMBO and not paying attention to passing cars, looked up and saw it about 100 metres ahead of me and it could only have driven right past me to get there. DOH! A...

Your superglue story was true in my mates house Mike, his wife had earache and he mistook the earex for the superglue, made worse by popping some cotton wool in, she spent a couple of hours at the doctors with a nurse picking out the cotton wool with tweezers and flushing it out with syringes full of warm water.

It took a fortnight of natural...

Awesome . Thank you for making it so easy. =D>

Think helicopter scene. That should do it.

I do recall I enjoyed it but over a year and I couldn't tell you what happened.
Saves me money as I can re-watch a DVD after a year or so and it is like a brand new one :)
Same with books. Get to the last page and realise I know how it ends.

Mine did this 5 months ago or so, luckily the Elctro Power Steering system runs direct from the battery, so I had enough juice to drive 20 miles home and then to the garage to get it replaced. I gave the battery a well-deserved charge after that.

I did have my suspicions that the belt was levered off with a screwdriver after the A/C compressor...

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

Spring Compressors in again at ALDI :-D

Hi Nico and welcome.

Thanks for posting that update, I really hope it helps you - I have been using mine for a good few years now with no problems at all - boot speed for me is a lot faster. I still don't use the Jukebox function (my preference) as I rely on the SD card for that. But what you have said there is very interesting about Waze.

As...

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 ?

You always could do that by opening another tab (Ctrl-click) or window (Shift-click) on the post's individual header and then copying the URL of that post. I've just checked and it still works.

All the major producers now only supply via distributors ( Shell, Fuchs, Castrol, Total etc). The distributors are rated gold, silver and bronze and you can only buy from the distributor based on your annual spend.i.e. don't expect any favours on price!.

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.

In short,

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!

Hi, Iwas replying to a message dated Mon. 28th Sept 2009. Yes time does go very slowly when you are retired, there are only 3working hours in a day and anything after 1230 is a bonus. Gerry
