« on: Today at 00:56:52 »

The film Everest, based on actual events in 1996 gives a pretty decent look into the business of climbing Everest.

The fuel pump relay has a habit of burning out on LPG equipped cars that are constantly run low on petrol.

So, remove sump, clean strainer if there are debris, fresh oil and filter and fingers crossed?
Noise just sudenly appeared, out of the blue

Which suggests a blockage.

Most vehicles have stalks either side of the steering wheel to operate various lights and indicators
these stalks almost always* are strong enough to support the weight of a magic tree air freshener 
thus negating the need to block the view through the windscreen .

*hanging actual fill size trees from the stalks may cause problems and may invalidate any warranty 

Does anyone here actually drive anything new enough to have a warranty

Omega General Help / Re: Steering box leak

« on: 21 May 2024, 23:31:33 »

Gearbox cooler lines are in the same location and can corroded, like wise the power steering lines.

And as they all use the same fluid, it's not a surprise that any leaks in the area will be presumed to be the box as it's bolted to the rusty part that all the rusty pipes run over.

Turns out two other crew have also been ill and had helped an unwell passenger so that's that mystery solved.

I still won't recommend the pork Asda though

How did they help?  Swap bodily fluids? 

Scraped her off the floor apparently.

Used Zenith to good effect have a work pension with Aviva, but not exactly relevant. Avoid Swinton like the plague unless you want to be inundated with spam... Oh wait...

General Car Chat / Re: Bini radio replacement.

« on: 18 May 2024, 19:45:03 »

Turns out it was one of the two fuses that powers the radio.

Still an easy fix after checking everything else 25 times.

Got the radio working in the Bini... So on the back of that win, had a go at the window regulator.

Total failure. Rebuilt the regulator only to find that although the motor spins on demand, it doesn't actually do anything.

Replacement on its way.
