General Car Chat / Tesla dealership streamlining plans...
« on: 02 March 2019, 11:50:17 »
... appear to be more drastic than first expected...
WestSussexFire crews are dealing with "a significant fire" at the Tesla car dealership building on County Oak Way in #Crawley. Six engines and an Aerial Ladder Platform are at the scene.
Must say, from work it certainly looked impressive.

General Discussion Area / Breaking Brexit News...
« on: 27 February 2019, 11:04:54 »
Donald and Claude have written a poem to TM in the forlorn hope that she will reverse Brexit.
Here it is in full...
Here it is in full...
Quote
We'll take the train to nowhere
This love is a sacrifice
Our heart ain't big enough babe
For your paradise
Oh darling we're crazy after all these years
Don't throw away our love babe
We're not lonely children
Tomorrow's such a long time
Our dreams are running wild
Oh darling we're crazy after all these years
We gave you all our love for free*
Our tears are full of memories
Give us love, give us all
Baby, catch us when we'll fall tonight.
Bitterblue, Bitterblue
Breaking up is hard to do
Bitterblue you know that we're too
Proud to cry
Bitterblue, Bitterblue
We can't take our eyes off you
And that's no way to say goodbye.
We'll be sailing on a rainbow
If you will change your mind
Don't throw away this love babe
Love is hard to find
Oh darling we're crazy after all these years
Come save a little room babe,
In your heart for us
We can make it better,
Love is a mystery
Oh darling we're crazy after all these years
Oh we sold our heart to you,
We gave you love and heaven, too
Give us love, give us all,
Baby catch us when we'll fall tonight
Bitterblue, Bitterblue
Breaking up is hard to do
Bitterblue you know that we're too
Proud to cry
Bitterblue, Bitterblue
We can't take our eyes off you
And that's no way to say goodbye
And that's no way to say goodbye...
*True, £19 Billion a year isn't exactly free, but it's a small price to pay for a love as deep as ours

General Car Chat / Mercedes W208 Clk wiring Q...
« on: 10 January 2019, 18:17:24 »
Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the Parktronic system for the above?
I am planning to fit Parktronic to the Trolley, and have acquired a complete Clk loom for it with ecu and displays,
but trying to identify three wires...
They're as follows:
Pin 6 BlueGrey possible exterior lights via Pin 10 on 21 pin grey plug (rear SAM?).
Pin 27 YellowBlack possibly Diagnostic socket pin 28? Which pin on OBD2 socket?
Pin 28 BlueRed possible reverse lights/gearbox via Pin 3 on 21 pin grey plug (rear SAM?).
I have identified the rest of the loom using a w210 diagram, but struggling with the above due to different pin outs on the ecu and different wire colours.
Also after the Parktronic diagrams for the w168 in order to cross reference to the car, as Haynes doesn't cover it and common points on the diagrams have different wire colours. Only seven connections to the car, including +12v and -12v, so only actually 5 to figure out, but would prefer not to fry something in the process...

Couldn't imagine any company that I have worked for doing anything like this...
Best Christmas work surprise that I have seen was a signed card from the CEO containing a £25 M+S voucher, a six pack of beer and an early shoot

General Discussion Area / Saturday musings...
« on: 08 December 2018, 11:06:02 »
I was going to start with:
'Opinions and arseholes; is it OK to have both? What if you're that person?'
Instead I choose this:
Anyone been to see 'A Star is born'? Who else shed a tear at the dog lying down outside the garage door waiting for Jackson Maine to come back out? Is this normal? 🤔

General Discussion Area / Brexit Deal acceptance.
« on: 26 November 2018, 17:17:52 »
This poll asks what I believe to ultimately be the question facing the House of Commons.
We are leaving the EU in March regardless of whether Parliament is ready or not. Leaving or Remaining is, at this point, irrelevant.
I have set the poll to end at the proposed day of the House of Commons vote on the matter, and the results will become known at that point.
I was originally planning to only give two options, but have added a third to allow for the Backstop being amended, should this happen.
I have asked if possible that the thread be locked to posting in order to keep the discussion on the matter to the current thread on the subject.

General Discussion Area / A few words for reflection...
« on: 22 November 2018, 06:20:16 »
(Washington, D.C.
October 3, 1863
By the President of the United States of America.
A Proclamation.)
The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequalled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle or the ship; the axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom. No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed.
(Done at the City of Washington, this Third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the United States the Eighty-eighth.
By the President: Abraham Lincoln
William H. Seward,
Secretary of State.)
