General Discussion Area / abbreviations

« on: 11 May 2009, 19:12:54 »

my problem is i whenever abbreviations are used, i haven,t a clue most of the time what they stand for, i would like to see a list with them on. i can understand they may be thousands and to publish one may take ages, so may be on reflection it,s not a good idea

i have a mate who has recently done filters & oil changes for me. iv,e used to wonder why the dipstick always showed overfilled. his receipts were for pattern filters (which i didn,t mind) i recently did the work myself and i had a struggle getting the fuel and oil filters off. my shock & horror when i managed it was they were genuine vx filters. they to my recollection were done 14k ago by a guy that retired.
did the pc test & found fc  44 .. it looks as if iv,e been shafted.   there are some tw*ts about

General Discussion Area / my mates nissan

my nieghbour has recently bought himself a big japanese 7 seater job. one day i saw him with his wife getting off the bus with his weekly shopping. i asked him what was wrong with his car, reply was "don,t ask". a week later i asked his mate if my neighbour had his motor sorted, and he told me what he,d done. simply had taken a fuse out  whilst dong something and fitted it back in a position meant for a spare fuse. nobody could find the problem. in the end the dealership towed it,and charged him £185 to put the fuse to its proper slot.
