After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a 'Gripe Sheet' which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft.
The mechanics correct the problems; document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the Gripe Sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humour.
Here are...

The offending envelopes.

Not very sharp, like the photographer.

So are you 100% that the replacement drive is not defective? As I said these are not available except used. The only way to test it is with either an older computer or use a SATA to PATA converter in a modern PC and then use some HDD utilities to check its usage and history / condition.

I would want to rule out HDD problems that may be preventing...

I've (ab)used a lot of dewalt cordless tools offshore, we still have some of the previous generation nickel metal hydride, pre-lithium tools putting in hard days work on oil rigs. I was so impressed with the 1/2 gin, that I bought one for myself, it out performs my snapon 3/4 air gun. I have a lot of lidl hand tools in my workshop, like I recently...

Looked very presentable from a distance

Unbelievable!

At the end of the day they are in breach of the selling regulations as they are advertising a genuine PSA product from the photos, with official part numbers and packaging, yet are deceitfully selling an inferior unbranded 'who knows what the hell it is' alternative.

I'd report them as such and get them to pick it up post paid.

I...

A most awesome lunch today :D The Crown and Sceptre really does take some beating as a top venue :cool:

I had to go for a hard bike ride when I got home to work off that superb meal :)

Can't wait until the next one ;)

If you have lost some settings, then a dealership should be able to re-configure it from their servers for the cost of a diagnostic. They just need to treat the procedure as i they were installing a replacement RT6 and configure it.

We have not been afflicted by the Steering Rack failure but both of our X7 models are conventional suspension.
Could LDS be causing the failures with the X7 racks? I know earlier models were not affected, but is it possible that the seals in the earlier racks were designed for LDS? Later racks were they designed for Power Steering fluid? Or are...

Hi svod, good work, congratulations.
I don’t suppose you might consider re manufacturing the steering pipes at all. They come up in the forums time and time again and are no longer available or manufactured by Citroen, I certainly would buy a set or two if they were available.
Thanks

Part of RED 2 takes place in Paris, so there's a lot of cars in the background. Off the top of my head I remember spotting an X7 and an XM briefly in the backgrounds of shots.

Don't worry, the week before Easter finishes we will have Halloween stuff!! :grr:

Many a true word spoken in jest....

I worked as an inspector at Fiat Allis in the late 70s, early 80s. They made wheel loaders with a bucket on the front. To test the hydraulic pressure we used to put the bucket on the floor and work all the system with the engine off to depressurise the system. Then, on a set of steps, remove a plug and fit a pressure gauge. One of the guys did all...

Hi Jay , I think you are right the most logical approach to this is to use the best available materials I had considered galvanized fittings but I have had a few experiences with calipers that were just rotted together with galvanized fittings.

My concern is the pinion housing is aluminium so a small risk of galvanic corrosion with the cuni. I...

This is a result of using crimp terminals and untinned wire.
DC circuits attract atmospheric ions that provoke corrosion in the positive side of the circuit. This eventually causes the copper in stranded wire to develop surface corrosion, insulating each strand from its neighbours.
Crimp connections make electrical connection to the strands of the...

You may be interested in this topic: which describes and upgrade to the HA2 system, and I think has some information about damper elements on the center spheres.

I'm so going to stalk you online and find you to present a bottle of Turkish Raki if I ever travel any country near you. :-D Thanks for giving me tonight's reading!

Hi, unfortunately, as PSA has now withdrawn all their once free resources and parts data, we have had to move these handbooks to the Resources section of the Forum.

As these are no longer freely accessible from PSA, the FCF also cannot make these freely available anymore. However, as the FCF pays for and subscribes to PSA for live parts data, we...

Yep working again thanks Marc. Just unlucky with my timing.

There was a software update some time ago that moved the button to the top right hand corner (for aesthetic and technical reasons). I have now amended the first post in this topic to match the current appearance.
