Both the company and the employment contracts written and registered under Jersey Law which is a lot softer / easier then EU or UK employment law apparently.
Still a prize bunch of Cee U Next Tuesdays though

This lot are a knowledgeable bunch:

Back in the day (late 80's) while in sausage land, vodka from the Mally Shop was cheaper then the screen wash

« on: 08 March 2022, 12:08:42 »I'd clean the MAF with spray MAF cleaner/contact cleaner/brake cleaner or IPA but not physically touch or rub it. If it doesn't work - well it wasn't working before. I've always had success cleaning MAF's and never a failure.
On your CV joint the test is to drive the car on full lock right then left if it clicks then the CV joint has play and needs replacing. If the CV boot has split and not been replaced promptly then that will be the cause of the CV joint failure.
Did that, drive to see Skeggy to see if the van had fallen apart and give the CR-V a run.
Car is rattle free, smoother and did 39 mpg (fill / fill method, A roads - motorway) which isn't too bad for a car which was choked up a week ago
Still not happy about this vibration at speed when I boot it though ............. Had a word with my MOT man but he is not willing to write a report on it even for appropriate sheckles.
The idiots at the garage I bought it from still ain't replying to my calls / emails ref the so called 3 month warranty so it looks like its the consumer rights route.
How do I go about initiating that ? Trading Standards ??

« on: 02 March 2022, 07:31:43 »Is it upset that you gave it an Italian Tune Up on the way home Mr Gonads?
Just a little
Felt a vibration at full throttle while at motorway speeds coming home.
Thought it was just freeing its self off but it’s starting to tug a little going around corners.
Did a bit of research and it tuns out they eat drive shafts if a cv bolt gets damaged which this car had one as a advisory.
Going to clean up the EGR and oily bits then take it for a slightly gentler ride on Sunday.
A least when I get this dongle thingy I can read live data so that will give me a better idea of what’s going on.
It does rev much easier after the little Italian tune up though

« on: 01 March 2022, 22:26:41 »You don't need to worry about the warranty. Consumer Rights act gives you the right to a repair or replacement of goods 6 months from purchase.
You also have the right to return it in the first 30 days if there's a fault. The garage would fight you like hell on that one though
Don't let them palm you off to the warranty company unless you prefer to deal with them
Even on a 13 years old car ?

General Car Chat / Aaaand my first question about the Honda engine

Popped a MAF code tonight.
The MAF is fitted on the back of the air filter box
Obviously checked the box before I handed over any money and the filter was clean which coincided with the service just carried out a few thousand ago.
Just removed the filter and the back of the box is pretty dirty with oily soot and bearing in mind its dark and all I had was a torch on the phone, The MAF looks like its got a oil film on it.
Can these be cleaned safely or are they overly sensitive like the omegas and die if touched ??
Just emailed the garage I bought it off and I await details of the 3 month warranty its supposed to have.
Even though the car has pretty much full service history, the car has been drove like miss daisy for years by its old past owners.
It was pretty choked up when I started the journey home but cleared up very well with very little smoke under any throttle conditions by the time I had got it down the M62 and home.
