Think he was the one with tin of paint.

X marks the Gulag where I will see out my days ( hopefully)

General Discussion Area / Should Europe send troops to Ukraine?

« on: 15 March 2024, 19:19:38 »

Macron hasn’t ruled it out.

I think he is spot on when he says Europe cannot allow Ukraine to lose. There is still a lot of inertia to overcome. Probably better to finish it before the US presidential elections in case Trump gets in and ditches Europe.

Maybe “ our troops” could do support jobs like maintenance with Ukranians on the front line.

Does the team think they swapped drivers as they were being flagged down by the police?

90 minutes in total diagnostic time. 15 euros, seemed very little so gave him 20.

Problem is an internal fault with the MIB itself. A search of the internet throws up plenty of UK companies that repair your MIB . 2/3 day turnaround. There will be similar here but finding one will be a challenge as will be the logistics. Might be easier to turn up in person and stay in a hotel nearby.

I feel an OOF meet in Tower Hamlets.

Sadiq could keep an eye on the tool kits.

 It is getting tough to be able to talk about anything going on. I haven’t anything nice to say about either side in Gaza. Likewise Ukraine war though we are supposed to be on Ukraines side purely and simply as “we” will be next.

I posted on vw forum and got a great comprehensive answer including schematic showing pin outs and the options for dedicated amp or contained in MIB. Most excellent help as it even shows the various speaker pins.. Just hoping it isnt a damaged cable .

I found a damaged wire in the loom to drivers seat. Pretty poor given its known life. Anyway my auto electrician can effect a repair later next week.

Its above my pay grade now.

Popped round to see a Spanish friend  who I would describe as an auto electrician. He contacted VW and they said there isnt an amp . Searching the web, we have concluded the component we are looking for is under the drivers seat ( LHD). There is certainly something there under the carpet.

So I have booked it in for probable seat removal later next week.

Went to the London Olympics (twice) under protest and have no desire to repeat the experience. 

You'll be culturally enriched if you go to the Paris Olympics! 

No, reading between the lines I tihink he isn’t likely to go to France. Just a feeling.
