General Discussion Area / A

« on: 08 August 2012, 20:01:44 »

......quick question. (That'll pish Turk right off )

I've taken to using me laptop more often now and, while I sit here with it getting lovely and warm on the nether regions, it's struck me that I run it all the time from the mains but have left the battery in situ - is this a bad thing and should I remove the battery?

Thanking you all in anticipation.

Den the Shami lover.

General Discussion Area / Too much talk.......

« on: 11 May 2012, 18:08:08 »

.........not enough action.

There comes a point when the constant discussion of the political woes of this country begins to devalue the serious content of the matter in hand so, in this regard, I intend to take my protest onto the streets of this nation by marching on Westminster to confront those within.

To this end I invite those in the membership so predisposed to support such affirmative action to join me by following this fine example of very direct and unequivocal protest (I am amongst the group).

I would caution the more fragrant members of the Forum that the methods shown in the following video may well be too much for them, so please have a care before clicking the link.

I do hope that Tunnie hasn't succumbed to this distressing condition.

General Discussion Area / St. George's Day

« on: 23 April 2012, 07:49:30 »

Not that yould know given the dearth of information provided by the national broadcaster.

However - These fine images and this sublime music will always show to me the real substance of this land – a land and heritage to be celebrated, a land worth fighting for and above all, a land and way of life worth preserving.

General Discussion Area / Just a few words

« on: 24 December 2011, 17:43:34 »

It’s nice to see so many members taking the time to pass on their best wishes to each other at this time of the year – irrespective of personal belief – a welcoming trait in this increasingly individualistic world.

I think the exchange of these sentiments stand testament to the real substance of this Forum and what it means to those of us who frequent its pages.

For my part I wish every member here, and their loved ones, a very happy and meaningful Christmas and hope that the coming year will bring good news where it’s needed, reward where its justified and peace and fulfilment where it’s desired.

Finally, and in particular, I would like to thank the Administrators and Moderators of the Forum – and those members who selflessly answer seemingly endless technical questions - for their dedication to what really is a family of friends rather than a car forum.

General Discussion Area / Christopher Hitchens dead

« on: 16 December 2011, 14:00:38 »

His style wasn't to all tastes but his quality of debate (for me at least) was arresting in its cogency, tenacious in its quest to establish and maintain its point and refreshing in its quality use of our fine language.

Would there have been more such able commentators at large in order to cut through the miasma of seemingly endless tripe being generated by the MSM at the moment, (main stream media).

A sad loss indeed – although I wouldn’t wish him to rest in peace because it’s the last thing he would want to do.

General Discussion Area / I will remember.

« on: 10 November 2011, 23:57:33 »

At the 11th hour, on the 11th day of the 11th month – I will remember.

I will remember those who have gone before, never to return.

I will remember those who did return but stricken with injury.

I will remember those who still bear the weight of their burdens taken up whilst serving this nation.

I will remember their families - many denied the right of having their loves ones at their side to share their life’s experience.

I will remember all those non-combatants exposed to the horror of violence - a horror far beyond their ability to control or understand.

I will remember those with whom I served, those whom I loved but lost and those whom I still see struggling to deal with the terrible aftermath of conflict.

I will remember.

I will never forget.

Omega General Help / Drop links OE or pattern?

« on: 06 May 2011, 10:18:27 »

I’m getting that soft but persistent rattle on undulating surfaces but no noise on smooth surfaces.

If I have to replace the links (either front or rear) is it better done with OE parts or will pattern ones - such as found on the Bay of Pigs - do the job?

There’s no problem with handling or tyre wear as far as I can tell.

Omega General Help / Cyl 4 misfire on a Desmond

« on: 02 February 2011, 17:11:15 »

I suppose I can't complain as this is the first real trouble I’ve had with the car – Z22XE engine) in the 5 years (approx) of ownership

It happened the other day after I got past some nose pickers by using the modest acceleration that the car has.

I let the speed bleed off on a light throttle back to where it had been before, as the speed decreased there was a pronounced triple hesitation in quick succession from the engine setting off the emissions light.


My reader (thanks Nige) tells me that code P0004 is present – described as Cyl 4 misfire.  The car seems to start and drive normally and there has been no decrease in performance, no overheating, water loss or inappropriate smells.

I was able to clear the code and turn the light out but am of course wondering what has set the events in motion – plugs, coil pack (or whatever the equivalent is) or impending gasket failure.

I will be looking at the easier options shortly but am asking for some views on the possibilities.
