Someone I will be doing some work for as asked for a scanned copy, along with licence and insurance etc.

Went to dig out the paperwork, it was serviced at the same time, and no MOT certificate........ :-\ :-\

General Car Chat / Thank You Kingswood Honda
« on: 05 August 2015, 20:57:30 »
On holiday on the Isle of Man and the Engine Management Light came on, into limp mode and I stopped. Restarted and was no longer in 'limp mode' but light still on..........:(

Having had a 'Eureka moment' I discovered that Honda dealers are in the Sat Nav, and yes their was one on the Island...........;)

We called into Kingswood Honda and they asked us to leave it with them for investigation, we were both thinking DPF at this point, phone number left we went for lunch at a nearby museum.

After about an hour I received a call to say that all was well, and that they would explain when we went to collect the car.

They explained that they had put the car onto the diagnostic system and a number of codes came up, and a recommendation for some 'software updates' not a diagnosis as such but everything seems fine, all re-set etc.

I asked how much I owed them and they simply said 'Enjoy your holiday on the Island' Now that is great service indeed, thank you again!!!

Friggin EML light has come on, whilst climbing out of Ramsey heading South........ :-X :-X

Stopped, switched off and on again, light still on, no codes showing - some do, but not in limp mode. Whilst in Douglas, sitting in the car waiting for swmbo and miss vamps to get some bathing suits, I found myself playing with the 'sat nav' found a Honda Garage in 0.6 miles, fitters gone but calling in tomorrow for a code reading, and hopefully it getting sorted......... ::) ::)

Sorry, posted in wrong section..............

A certain young lady dropped her phone today, onto concrete......... ::) ::)

The screen has gone funny, about 50% is simply very slim lines about 2/3 of the way up the screen veering off at 90 degrees to the left, any hope for it?

Anyone got an iPhone 5S for sale?......... :-X ;)

Been doing a 'Management of Actual or Potential Aggression (MAPAŽ)' Course

This goes beyond 'talking down' a potential aggressor, various holding techniques etc.
Well anyone who has met me knows how tall and skinny I am, some of the blokes and, a couple of women, where all rather large, ex Police, Army and Prison Officers, and little old me!!! Talk about being up close with others ::) ::) ::)

STMO and Gixer would have been in their element............ :D :D :P

As part of the induction training for one of my new Jobs, I have to have a 40 minute driving assessment in a Ford Galaxy with to many pedals............ ::) ::)

I suggested they let me use my car, but no got to be theirs, as these will be the cars I will be using for work; it is years since I drove a manual, I am not worried about it but 3 of us go out for 3 hours so not just the examiner, who I believe is a Police Officer......... :-\ :-\ There is certainly a Police email address on the info.......... :D

Omega General Help / She's cooked the car
« on: 04 July 2015, 16:43:15 »
OK car overheated in Harrogate, water topped up and drove back to Ripon, where we are at the moment. Car running fine, but when the key is removed the battery light comes on. Fuse/relay box on top of the battery very hot, bonnet up and leaving to cool; any thoughts?............. :-\ :-\

General Discussion Area / Caught out..............
« on: 16 June 2015, 21:59:56 »
Whilst I keep a stock of biscuits, crisps and chocky bars in the cupboard, I did have a small personal stock in a cupboard no one else tends to go in......... ;) ;)

A few minutes ago Miss Vamps came into the room hands full of assorted chocky bars, making a rather loud and excited announcement 'Who has been hiding things from his daughter'!!! 

Booger, caught red handed......... :D :D


Note to self, find better hiding place.............. :y
