Well, it aint gonna happen then. Eddie Jordan has never been right in any of his predictions. The wee Leprechaun, he talks shite.

It is a 2009 model. No 5th cold start injector afaik, and I would imagine it should be pretty obvious if it had one ?
Once running it seems to run reasonably well, especially once above tickover. Which of course puts a lot of doubt on my non operative injector theory.
Ideally I would like to get it plugged into Renault CLIP diagnostics, but don't know of anywhere local to get that done.
Injectors are anything but cheap, and need to be coded to the engine when insttalled, so Im not going to rush into replacing one on a hunch.

He has always been a centrist, despite what the msm have recently tried to portray him as. To them, anyone who supports Brexit is a Nazi.

As Ive mentioned elsewhere Airfix 1 (aka clit 1.5 dci) is giving me trouble. It is very difficult to start and sometimes wont start at all. Fault code is low fuel pressure. Ive done some investigation and the main piece of evidence so far has been revealed by testing the amount of fuel coming from each leak off pipe.
With the engine running for a minute or two a small amount of fuel comes from three of the pipes which I have extended for the test, and collects in containers. The fourth one had a lot of fuel coming from the pipe and collected about twenty times more fuel than the other three combined.
To me, this suggests that injector may be stuck closed / inoperative so no fuel is being used by it.
Ive collected the fuel from the filter and it had a small amount of what looked like dirt in it, but didn't appear to be metallic, which is one piece of good news I hope.
Any opinions guys ?
Tia.

If it wasn't for Farage we wouldn't have had a referendum in the first place. You might think that a good thing or a bad thing, but its the truth.
Whether or not he has, or wants, any kind of future in politics remains to be seen, but he will always be a hero to me for bring democracy and sovereignty back to this country.

Brand loyalty and her tactic of conning people into a siege mentality, with her as their protector. She is a vile specimen of humanity with no scruples whatsoever.

« on: 13 December 2019, 18:26:14 »I think individuals like Hamilton, Albs and Rossi have a natural feeling for balance and grip whatever they are driving or riding.
Probably born with it.
I wouldn't argue with that.

It will be my job to get it out of the loft and set it in the designated spot. After that I don't plan on getting involved if I can help it.

Ecclestone was very keen to have him in F1 15 years ago, and it was rumoured his lap times in the Ferarri were close to Schumacher,s.
Rossi said he thought about it, but couldn't put up with someone talking into his ear all the time telling him how to race.
With hindsight, it might have been a good move for him to have done seven or eight years ago, if the opportunity was still there.
Nice to see Hamilton is prepared to risk binning an eyewateringly fast bike and risk everything, rather than wrap himself in cotton wool as F1 prima donna,s tend to do.

Putting up the tree has been mentioned today. Ive got a week off work, so a bit short on excuses. Might convert to Judaism for next year so I can really ignore the whole Commercefest altogether.

« on: 13 December 2019, 16:56:02 »Scotland and Norn Irn have voted heavily in favour of nationalism, which is a big concern. We could see the break up of the UK in the near future if things aren't handled carefully.
Well if they want to leave, and think they have enough tax payers to support them, then let them go, as that means all English tax collections stay in England, if you talk to people with a bit of education, they all stay that the amounts Scotland would make from oil and whiskey, isn't as much as WEE Jimmy thinks, and Ireland would struggle to.
On purely financial terms your right. Historically when the heavy industry was still around, the North of England, Scotland, Wales and Norn Irn more than paid their way within the UK. But those days are gone and aren't coming back.
Despite what anyone wants to believe, Scotland and the rest of the UK 50 miles outside of London, is heavily subsidised by Southern English taxpayers, and would flounder without that subsidy.
Theres more to it than just financial considerations though. The UK has been an incredibly successful political union for centuries, whether in warfare, industry, the arts, culture etc. etc. and I believe all concerned will rue the day if it is ever broken up.
The UK has punched above its weight for a very long time in almost every measurable way.
It might be a clever move from Boris to flood Scotland with more cash for two or three years, then give them another referendum, hopefully win it, and shoot Wee Jimmys fox in the process.
