Thanks for all the help people.

Sorry, but it still doesn't sit well with me.
We'll have to agree to disagree.

You are are a naughty lot 

And now we go back to the original question 

Any ideas ?

What is it you want exactly, Mr Gonads?
I thought we were bang on the money (no pun) with our suggestions.
Pretty sure you'd get Government help with re-training for HGV or the bus companies would put you through your PSV.
So, tell us what job you would like, and maybe we could come up with some better ideas.

Sorry about my ranting on here people. I'm not normally like this, but I've watched the country go so far down the toilet, I despair.
It won't affect me because I'm old now, but I do worry for my kids and grandkids.

Regarding the woman who unleashed a volley of abuse on the tube train, and ended up on YouTube, was she just saying publicly what an awful lot of us think privately? I think so. She doesn't live far from me, actually.

I still haven't given my grass it's first cut yet.
When I'm at work, it's dry, when I'm on my rest days, it tips it down.
Maybe next Monday then..........

Do I detect a rising tide of resentment in this country?
If I do, IT'S ABOUT BLOODY TIME.
Not sorry for shouting.

I suppose there's a bit of envy attached to this, but a couple of days ago, I was watching a re-run of an episode of 'Escape To The Country'. This time it was an Asian couple. The people looking to move state at the start of the programme how much they have to spend. Normally it's about 3 - 500 grand. Not this pair, they had a MILLION pounds to spend without having to sell their existing property. And bloody hell, the woman wasn't half snooty, she dissed just about every property she was shown.
Made me wonder what sort of life they would be leading if they were back in their native country.

Do you hold Auto and Off buttons together, or one at a time?
Sorry if that question is stupid, but this is a learning curve for me, I've only ever had the more conventinal heater controls, i.e. sliders or knobs.
Thanks for the help.

Does the car warm up to normal temperature quickly? I.E. within a couple of miles from cold? It is sitting just below mid point on the gauge when on the move and perhaps slightly above in traffic (temperature markings vary, so best to go by position of the pointer).

Yes to all those.
From what I've seen so far, the cooling system looks to be in pretty good order
I really don't like these newer push button heater controls though, much prefer the twist knobs - ooo-er.

It's a bit of a long process now, but why not try for your heavy goods licence.
There seems to be plenty of agency work about, even for novices. Your age will work for you, not against you.
Where I work, agency drivers now seem to outnumber us regulars. They're very well though of too.

Omega General Help / Tepid heater.

« on: 10 May 2012, 11:08:28 »

I know there's not much use for a full blooded heater at the moment, but the heater in my 2000 2.5 cdx gets barely tepid.
As far as I can make out, the problem started when the previous owner had the cam cover gaskets and thermostat replaced, so I'm assuming there's some sort of airlock somewhere.
The car does not get hot while running. Since I've had it, the auxiallary fans have not come on. The temperature guage sits at the 80 - 90 mark and only raises slightly in heavy traffic, as demonstrated on the M6 last Monday while driving back from the Wirral to Essex.
The car uses no water.
Any suggestions and courses of action chaps?
