Omega General Help / Re: Front Drop Links

Serek fitted my ATP kits for me (wishbones, track rods and drop links) two years ago with no apparent problems. Without getting my aching bones under the car, how would I know if all is still ok - how would driving be affected?

Albs, you say that you are confident that your battery is ok, but it's quick and easy to get a "drop-test" done at a tyre/battery place to be sure. The test will show if there is enough cranking power and/or total capacity in the battery.
That way you will start from an informed position before chasing possibly non-existent current drains.

Thanks DG.
The noise in the passenger seat usually comes from 'Er Indoors; will it cure that?

It's worth remembering that women's brains are four ounces lighter than men's, so it wasn't really her fault, poor dear!

Yes, and look at the number of undeserving "celebrities" who get knighthoods: all they do is their jobs.

I taught at a further education college for 20 years and the mainly school leavers intake were those who had pi55ed about at school and left unqualified - then found themselves to be unemployable. That left my colleagues and me to repair the damage and try to fit them for the real world!

Teleportation should solve excessive amounts of traffic on the roads.

IF teleportation should ever become possible, consider what might happen if there were multiple receivers providing several copies of whatever was transmitted.....many duplicates of Boris, for example!
OR, as many copies of Diana Rigg as you could dream of?

How worrying that I've has a day of agreeing with STEMO!
Apoart from your mis-using the term "gay" when you mean homosexual, of course - too many syllables for the poor dears?

Ron.

The word gay used to mean happy, but the word has been hijacked by homosexuals.

I tend to use the term 'bender' or 'shirt lifter'......which is PCish....

An interesting term that I heard recently to describe homosexual bars/pubs - garden centres. as in "uphill gardeners"!
How a nation feels about things is evidenced by the number or words for a particular item, so it is educational to look up all of the pejorative terms for homosexuals.
