General Car Chat / C1 (The skate) serious misfire.
« on: 12 March 2024, 13:21:18 »
I have had about half a gallon of petrol in a can in the boot of the C1 for about 6 months.
Sunday morning before leaving work I decided to tip it in the tank. There was aready approx. a couple of gallons already in the tank.
When I left work I didnt get more than a mile or so before it started misfiring and kangarooing. Nearly didnt make it home as it cut it a couple of times and was very reluctant to restart.
Not being a great believer in coincidence I assumed the half gallon must have gone off, so filled a couple of gallon cans with fresh petrol and put that in hoping it might then sort itself out.
It hasnt had any effect at all. Still very hard to start and runs as rough as a Badgers arse.
Have plugged my code reader in and got misfire cylinder three (it only has three).
Just because its a five minute job I swapped the stick coils between 1 and 3 but the code stayed at number three.
Only thing I can think of is a problem with number three injector ?
Any more intelligent thoughts more than welcome.

General Discussion Area / Geckonet ????
« on: 25 January 2024, 20:20:43 »
Swmbos Lenovo laptop has lost ability to charge due to USB C socket breaking inside where it connects to the mother board.
She has fired up sons old Sony Vaio to use while arranging a replacement Lenovo.
She has spent the last few days doing updates, binning old programmes etc etc.
It kept disconnecting itself from the interweb, but yesterday she though she had fixed that and it appeared to be running pretty well.
Today when she switched it on, rather than see the expected connection options (ours plus a few of the neighbours secured ones) she saw only two options and didnt recognise either of them.
One of them was geckonet, which after a little research she has decided might be something scary ?
There is a bit of battery life left in her Lenovo so she switched that one and it showed the usual list of possible connections she would expect to see.
Any advice or opinions welcome.

Omega General Help / One sided heating.
« on: 28 December 2023, 16:39:02 »
Noticed recently that the drivers side of my Omega only blows cold air, while the other side and rear still have nice hot air.
Something to do with those little vacuum valve things down under the dash area ?  :-\

General Discussion Area / Christmas adverts.
« on: 28 November 2023, 23:49:00 »
Has anyone else noticed ? - they dont seem to actually mention Christmas anymore. Probably deemed too offensive.
No traditional carols or similar, also probably deemed too offensive. Every one of them has some inane irrelevant pop song playing at increased volume while they display whatever tat they want you to buy.   ::)

General Discussion Area / Nice work, if you can get it.

Many civil servants and council workers are still unbelievably working from home after the chinky flu pandemic.
Its now coming to light that quite a few have actually been doing second jobs, so taking the taxpayer funded salaries for doing far call.

No reason why they shouldnt face instant dismissal and prosecution for fraud, but I doubt it will happen.   >:(

Rishi has sacked Braverman, which wasnt really unexpected.
But..........he has demoted Cleverly to replace her and made David Cameron Foreign Secretary. You couldnt make it up ffs !  :o
It stinks of utter desperation.
Two major foreign wars taking place and the Foreign Secratary cant even sit on the front benches of the Commons to report and take questions on the matter.
He has had to rush him into the Lords, just to be able to make it happen.
I have little doubt that after the next election Cameron will work hand in hand with Labour, behind the scenes, to reverse Brexit.
I can see this causing civil war in the Tory party.
We are through the looking glass folks.  ::)

As above, non of the internal lights are working at the moment, and drivers seat adjustment (memory seat) is also dead.
Checked likely fuses with no joy, so a bit stuck on what to do next.
Any ideas please ?

General Discussion Area / Just put the heating on !!
« on: 26 July 2023, 20:31:56 »
Im not kidding. Swmbo is moaning so much that she is freezing cold I put the heating on to cheer her up.
Fair enough I suppose as its only 16 degrees outside.  ::) :D

Omega General Help / Front window regulator removal.
« on: 14 June 2023, 19:21:01 »
Anyone changed one ?
Window stopped going up or down. Tests seem to show motor at fault.
Doesnt seem possible to separate motor from regulator in situ so have got as far as freeing the whole assembly from the window and door.
It doesnt seem possible to get it out of the door though, without drilling out the rivets to remove the airbag unit and take it out the hole where the airbag lives ?
Im in a right mucking fuddle here.  ::)

Tia.

We all know what happened there today. Perpetrator was a West African migrant with a history of violence.
How many more innocent people have to die before our "leaders" grow a spine and actually do something ?
I suppose the answer is that there is no number which would do that. If there was a chance of any of them doing something they would have done it by now. We are fooked. its all gone to far, its far too l late to do anything now.

He has gone, with immediate effect.
Brexit revenge from the remainiac committee. He did give them the ammo to shoot him with though. Fickin idiot.  ::)
Similar political witch hunt as Trump in the U.S.

Nadine  Dorries has done the same. Rumoured to be because she was crossed off his Honours list.
