Seemingly the asylum seekers lawyers tell them that converting gives them a better chance of it being granted.
so , if i say I'm Cristian ,I can get asylum seeker status  :-\
and get lots of free cash and a house  :-\  ::)  :P  :D
Budget for a paint job.
Bit pricey  :o
I'll do an oil change on one of the tractor juice engines before signing on  :D

Omega General Help / Re: central locking
« on: Yesterday at 22:36:24 »
I have in the past tried to find out what the rules are, as far as a mot, if one doorlock  is not working with the remote.
As long as the doors open with the door handles (inside and out) and close securely  it's a pass  ;)
Fuel door flap must open to inspect that the fuel cap is in place
boot and bonnet need to close securely

remote /central locking by fob or key turn in door is NOT an MOT requirement

I've never, worked out what a car has cost me to own or run, It breaks I fix it, it needs fuel I fill it up.

Don't mention fuel costs  :-X
some of us still own Omegas  :-[

maybe they had 72 virgins close to their 'use by date'   :-\
 I'm not sure how it works , I haven't read the Quran

72 virgins at the same time is enough to kill any man. ::) ::) >:D
It's a lor of teaching  :o
maybe wheel out the BIG CRT TV and VHS tape player for them ALL first  ;)

I think you'll find that it reads much like the Old Testament the Torah... Boy meets girl, the realise they're naked and chaos ensues... Fast forward a few generations and some chap with a beard had to sacrifice his son to appease some angry bloke with a beard and an anger management problem... (Sidenote... Is he short and ginger :-\) Son of sacrificed son (don't ask, it made no sense to me either) invades Egypt. They get upset and got chased across the Red Sea and Israel was created.

The rest, as they say, is history.
;D
Thanks Al  :y saves me having to read it  ;D

DtB - I was more thinking if it still has to be applied annually, not sure if thats much different from me cleaning the patio every Spring?

I bet i can spray a patio down with BAC50 with my pressure sprayer quicker than you could set up your pressure washer  :P

I'm not on commission from chemical supply companies  ;)
if you "enjoy" :o washing patios ,just pretend you didn't read my post  :D

I prefer the rustic look  ;D
so do I on a nice York stone drinking area  :)

As to Zafiras and running costs, mine was an incredibly reliable, cheap to run car.  Bought from auction, a fair few issues were discovered before it even got home, including an inability to rev beyond about 3k rpm ;D.  But once that nice DTM fella had sorted that, it never had more than basic servicing, and I thought it was indestructible.   ...until the front subframe fell apart.

It was gutless, handled shite, was desperately uncomfortable on longer trips.  But it was reliable, practical, reasonably economical (around 40mpg most of the time), cheap to run, and good fun to drive (as you dared not slow down for anything, as took too long to get back up to speed ;D


When it died, we looked at Zafira-B's to replace it, but every single one we looked at was a rust bucket underneath :o
pretty much the same here  :y
50,000 ,miles in 6.5 years ,40+ mpg , basic servicing items totalling less than a grand

"good fun to drive" NO  :D

Treat patio slabs etc  ;)  BAC50 ,BA50
Benzalkonium Chloride Algaecide Bactericide & Fungicide clicky

strong stuff  :)
very effective  :y
How long is it effective for?

it's like wiping the slate clean ,kills all the algae ,germs ,mould spores
how long before they come back is down to environmental factors .

Like systemic herbicide /weedkiller ,It displays high degree of biodegradability,

like a new patio ,it should take  quite a while before algae returns

the link (other sellers/websites available ) is for 5 litres ,if you dilute 1 to 8 , that's 45 litres (read the data sheet depending on application)
(don't mix that much unless you have a big carpark or road to treat >:D)

that £30 tub may last you 5 years or more
time is money ,patio washing may be a relaxing/enjoyable "pastime" to some  :)
as is sitting in a comfy chair, ON the patio, drinking beer to others  >:D

The C1 is a Toyota Aygo with Citroen badges on.  ;)
All the parts have the Toyota logo and part numbers on them.
so it should have been called the Citroen AGRO  :P
