General Car Chat / The family Corsa is pissing petrol.

« on: 24 April 2014, 17:41:25 »

I noticed a strong smell of petrol from our 53 plate Corsa today. Further investigation revealed a leaking fuel filter.

The filter is the original, and I recently purchased a new one (£4) to replace it when I had a moment to spare.

I obviously need to do this sooner rather than later now.

Easy job?

Do I need any special tools?

Will I get soaked in petrol?

I'm 16.2 stone with 1.81 m

How tall is that in 'old money', Cem?

I'm six-one and weigh 14 stone. The quack tells me that I should be closer to 12 stone.

Does that make me a fat bastard?........

Eat and drink what you like in moderation and be HAPPY.
Don't read the bulldog/shitsu cross.

Wise words from Mr Cleggy.

I don't understand why horse meat isn't sitting on the supermarkets shelves next to to lamb, beef, pork and chicken.

I'd be happy to eat it.

Would much prefer the twin cam - like sh1t off a shovel compared to the Mexico

Agreed.

These are worth megabucks today.

I recently saw one advertised for £65,000........

Crazy money for a MK1 Escort.

Mate of mine had one in the early '70s - we had to replace a couple of valves, and then it flew.  Very pokey car at the time.

If memory serves  The 'Twin Cam' used the same engine as the Lotus Cortina but in a significantly lighter body.

'Arfur' Daley was a 'spiv'.

Nigel Farage was a banker, so that also makes him a 'spiv'.

From Hectors House

That's Ki-Ki the frog.

Hector would often shag this little cutie when Mrs Hector wasn't looking.

An old (90's)Spanish guy near us swears that long life is promoted by a quarter of Red wine at lunch and the same at night. So that is half a litre a day. I think he may have a point but walking each and every day of your life will have helped too.

I read somewhere that the liver can regenerate if it isn't too far gone. About the only part of your body able to do so!.

I believe that we can function normally with only 20% of our liver working as it should.

People get caught out because there are very few obvious symptoms to let you know how ill you are...... and by the time you become aware of the problem it's often too late.

For some reason this song always reminds me of Mrs Opti the first........or is it Mrs Opti the second.

Perhaps it's both.

A few years ago my liver test showed a depletion in two different types of enzymes. The doctor said that I should be 'concerned' rather than 'worried'.....

Having said that, I certainly put away more than my fair share of grog when I was younger, so I wasn't really surprised by the results.
