General Discussion Area / Tech2 for sale?

« on: 05 June 2007, 20:11:38 »

OK, just testing the water here, would there be any interest in buying it here?

Would be Tech2 unit, lead to plug into standard diags socket, a Dell Latitude PIII 650Mhz, 256Mb RAM, 20G HDD with W2K Pro (with licence).

Obviously, we're not talking peanuts, if you are serious, you know the value...

General Discussion Area / Help - Lakes - anyone passing Argos?

« on: 07 June 2007, 09:49:13 »

Like a muppet, I have forgotten a couple of required items, and my local Argos hasn't got one item, and don't have the other (Extra stores only).  A look on map shows that I am not passing any on the way either

Anyone going to the lakes on Friday live near or passing an Argos Extra store, and can get me a couple of items (will come to a shade over £20)?

Is this the same connector as one you you need - 20 pin?

General Discussion Area / Project TB2 - Update 12

« on: 16 May 2007, 20:44:38 »

Yesterday, on the way back from Omegatoys, I was late and in trouble with Mrs TheBoy for being late, so I was 'pressing on a bit' in the tractor. Came off a roundabout, foot hard to floor, revs went up, speed went down. Just like a slipping clutch.

So I thought I'd better stop, so started to brake, and drive came back for a while, when started to lose again.  Every time I braked firmly, I got drive back.

As I was near home - about 1/2m, I limped it home in 1st with no further dramas.  Absolutely stank of ATF about half and hour later...


Due to symptoms, esp seeming to get drive when braking (pushing ATF to TC), I suspected low atf level.

So tonight, jacked up one side, through in 1.5l via a hose and funnel with engine running.  Removed hose, and about 1l came out, possibly more (some made it on to drive).  So I'm guessing it wasn't that?

So, I guess I've knackered the box as well.

General Discussion Area / Omegas on my estate

« on: 18 May 2007, 10:22:11 »

I was helping Mrs TheBoy deliver some leaflets for her club (some girly needlecraft thing) the other day around this end of the estate. So printed off about 250 leaflets for her. And about 20 for OOF to put through doors of Omega owners

Well, run out of her leaflets after 1.5hrs, didn't get rid of a single OOF one. Only 2 Omegas in the newest part of Brackley it would seem, and they are both on my drive.

Nice Monaro VXR in red around the corner though....

OOF Admins having a bad day.

I thought I was having a bad day (thanks Omegatoy for the offer of a tow home), sounds like Laidback66 is having worse

Sounds like you had a lucky escape, hope you don't feel to bad, or ache too much in the morning.

Don't worry about your pride - you know we'll rip that to shreds anyway


I suspect if you've had a punchup with an airbag, you'll have some painkillers of some description, so no alcohol. So I'll have a beer for you  [smiley=beer.gif]

Seriously, glad it seems you're OK

General Discussion Area / PCMCIA flash cards

« on: 08 May 2007, 20:01:51 »

On for PCMCIA experts.

I am after a 32Mb linear flash.  Must be 32Mb, and must be linear.  I know sod all about them, but have researched a little bit, and it seems there are all sorts of other bits I need to specify, unless different terminology is used for same things?

Anyone know a good supplier, and if I need to specify something else.

TIA

General Discussion Area / Automated email issues

« on: 03 May 2007, 16:31:04 »

Just trying to work out how big this issue is.

The forum often sends out automated emails if you have configured your profile - things like notifications of PMs etc, or watched threads.  It would appear some of these are not getting through.

General Discussion Area / Temp Gauges

« on: 07 May 2007, 13:42:25 »

Possibly one for Mr DTM, but, forgetting the dash gauge, do facelifts run cooler than prefacelifts?  I am beginning to have a theory that they don't, and the 90 - 100 degree temp gauges are identical in every way to to the 80 - 100 degree ones found in facelifts.  Almost as if Vx simply scaled the prefacelift gauges wrong....

And its not just the tractor that is making me think this (that gauge just reads rubbish), but also the MV6.  Both running the same (latest) software...
