Looks like something you'd pick up from Travis Perkins to fix your drains to me.... :y

Fixed!  :y  ;D
I can print you a larger one if you need another butt plug....

I think you're confusing me with Uncle STEMO.  :)

Jogger is more likely than a Duster. Although either would suit me enough to get over the dirty feeling of having bought a Renault :o

Strange looking things in the flesh those joggers. I don't need one, I don't know another six people.

Saw a Jogger being delivered to a house just down the road from me. Don't know them well enough to ask them what they think of it.

Sadly the requirement of 7 seats ruled out both those options (the cl500 I have a definite soft spot for).

Went for a Ford Galaxy tdci 163ps in the end as all the grand voyagers I saw were either ropey, expensive or both.  ???

We had a look at a couple of Zaf Tourers but the third row space just wasn't sufficient - not that it bothered me any as I will always be a first row passenger.

The Galaxy handles very well for its size and given it has 50% more power and about 120% more torque than the zafira it should go well enough for a family bus.

Seeing as I know you all love an opportunity to tell people they've spent too much on their cars  ;D

On a side note Stemo, if you're looking for out and out space, I reckon you could lose mutley in here no problem!

Type Sony into the search bar above, type TheBoy into the 'by user' and search.  :y  He comes across as sitting on the fence where Sony are concerned but I'm sure he loves them really.  ;D

Changed the battery in MrsT's 2016 Zafira Tourer, was the original GM one. Not bad going I guess. Easy job.

Unlike the BMW, where when I come to do that, apparently I need to code it/link it with Bimmerlink/bimmercode. Luckily it had a new one fitted at purchase, so should be good for a few years.

Hi Tunnie, long time no see!

How's the 435i? My old boss had one - nice bit of kit I thought and I still miss my 335d  :y

I love it, has some decent performance. Silky smooth straight 6, loads of gadgets. Feels well screwed together done 7k since I bought it last year. Really enjoy driving it which is the main thing, love being back in RWD. Just makes the drive much more enjoyable when booting it, much more fun the rears loosing traction than the fronts spinning up!

You do indeed, but it's simple enough with any diag tool, the Battery Management System needs to know so it manages the charging / discharging profile of the new battery.
