wonder how my omega will feel about that 

Watch it doesn't run over your toes for you.. or any buckets.

since the "bucket incident" I've installed BARCS  bucket avoidance rear camera  system   

It'll probably spit it's dummy HBV out! 

I need to refresh the coolant anyway 

[biggriffin]

Phoned up to change the insurance from the barge to the slap,,, That'll be £30.. please sir, £25 change over(admin cost) and £5 increase.

Got a LPG burn whilst filling up.

That's gonna smart in the morning

Reliability of LPG pumps were shocking, couple I used the filler would get super cold. Had to be quick in releasing.

Probably more likely your filler TBH.

My burn was from the gas escape upon removal.

I got burnt by an LPG pump a few years ago. It stung quite a lot for several days.
But as you know TB, a bit of pain never hurt anyone. 

I couldn't agree more. Whats a bit of pain, it never harmed anyone.

I was right though, it has smarted all day.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

And will keep smarting for around a week ime.

Filling was fine at other pumps, just one pump was temperamental

If the pump nozzle was freezing, its most likely due to a restriction around that area.  I'd expect that if it was the pump, and same for everyone, it would get looked at TBH.

So may be a combo of that pump nozzle being borderline and your filler being borederline, and the result was that. If that makes sense.

The sort of burn you get from touching a frozen nozzle is nowhere near as bad as getting caught by a gas escape when removing.  Hence I've been all gay, and been using aloe vera on my poor index finger.

Tried and failed to drive it earlier.  I feel like a Viagra has got stuck in my neck.  I couldn't even look right at the first roundabout, so I swung round it and straight back home.

Minor detail, just pull straight out, everyone around here does so it must be ok.

What are you, man or mouse?

[Doctor Gollum]

I can hear the squeaking from here

What are you, man or mouse?

A couple of weeks ago, I got, ironically the same finger stuck on the hotend of a 3D printer at ABS temps (240C).  As you can imagine, that made me yelp.

But I reckon a gas burn is every bit as bad.

[Sir Tigger KC]

Broke the V70. 

The button on the gear knob broke and fell out, and I can only use D and N. 

It happened just as I was about to set off for Dorset from South Wales and I was in a cul de sac facing the wrong way!    I managed to turn around by going up on the pavements, which was lucky as the V70 has a crap turning circle.  Once I was pointed in the right direction, I didn't stop until I got home!

As a temporary fix, if you pop the trim pieces off around the selector you can manually move the linkage (same way as pressing the button) I think.

Its unlikely to be wasted effort as the trim comes off to replace the shifter anyway.
