>>> by the rain hammering on my bedroom window. It,s still pi**ing down with a howling gale. I feel sorry for the poor buggers who have to do the morning commute today. Glad i,m retired.

but it seemed to me that the band were two notes out of sync with the choir when they sang Abide With Me. The National Anthem wasn,t much better either. Hope the match is better.

Biking to have an INR blood test this morning. Bus driver waved me over junction but car was coming out of said junction. Applied the brakes but there was a lot of gravel on cycle path and the next second i was over the handlebars. Now have split and swollen lip, grazed arm and banged leg. Luckily i had a few layers on and good gloves, but, no helmet 
. I must stress that this was entirely down to me and the car driver and others who helped were great.Seeing Doc at 11.40 to check me out. Have to be careful as i am on Warfarin, so bleeding is an issue, very little so far. What a pillock

Started car yesterday to come home, took a few more cranks than usual to fire (usually instant). Light came on (engine block not spanner light). Is this an emissions problem or could it be crank sensor problem? Light stays on constantly (not flashing) and car drives ok except kickdown a bit sluggish. Tried to do pedal test but no go. Car has done 109k so is probably in crank sensor fail territory. Just not sure which light means what as manual says that this light is emissions and spanner light is engine. Can someone enlighten me please. TIA.

Saw one in Stowmarket in Suffolk this weekend. Engine running sweet as a nut but, o my God, the bodywork was shite. Think only the paint was holding it together. But still on the road so must be better than it looked. E suffix plate so 1966?

General Car Chat / Dirty No. Plates
« on: 24 January 2016, 12:12:11 »
Was driving on the A14 yesterday and was surprised at the number of cars with unreadable plates. In these days of ANPR cameras for traffic policing, how do the authorities get to find if the cars are taxed/ insured etc. if. the plates are unreadable? Perhaps our resident traffic cop can enlighten me.

Broke the fuel filler cover when filling up this evening ready for Daventry trip tomorrow. 
Does removing the two screws release the arm part and where is a good place to get a replacement assy? Also is the fuel safe from syphoning when the cover is off? Colour is Z489 but any light colour will do will just paint it
