« on: 25 June 2014, 21:07:50 »It's all bloody 4 pots these days Steve.
Although the superior face lift model.
Vauxhall didn't make a 4 pot Omega.
2.5.....2.6 .......3.0....and 3.2. All with proper V6 lumps.

The man needs help. the last time I bit someone I was 5 years old.
Suarez is 27. He should have grown out of it by now.
Therapy required to get to the root cause of his problem.

General Car Chat / Re: EuroCarParts 50% Sale Offers - Hmm maybe not.
« on: 25 June 2014, 17:13:35 »Dont find prerssure washers clean the car that well anyway .They are fine for getting rid of plenty of much but still need to sponge and the leather so hardly worth the effort getting it all pluggged and plumbed in just for a quick blast.
Found my trusty old Karcher great for cleaning patios and decking ,but only ever used it on the car the once and not impressed.
Same here.
A waste of time on the car as the results don't warrant the effort.

General Car Chat / Re: An alternative to GM 10/40 semi-synth?
« on: 25 June 2014, 17:11:18 »Today the oil is £13.99 but the oil filter offer has ended :-(
Perhaps a blessing in disguise.
The bastards at Eurocarparts have sent me the wrong filter (even though I gave them the registration number of the car) and are refusing to exchange it.
Usually they are pretty good.........but their customer service is shite.

« on: 24 June 2014, 20:33:36 »Worried about the quality of my sleep I have just invested in a Misfit Shine. It monitors your sleep and activity using movement sensors. So far pretty impressed with it, although it is a little querky to use I am sure I will get used to it.
Last night it measured that I slept for 8 hours and 32 minutes, which going by the clock seems pretty accurate. It also detected that I was in deep REM sleep for 5.5 hours of that time which was broken up in to 6 stages. Considering the heat here that is not unreasonable to believe and after a sleep deprived weekend due to illness I did wake up more refreshed than usual.
So far me likey, but we shall see. The next question is should I get one for the missus as I am worried about her health and thus trying to get her more active.
How does this work, Mr Guffer?
Nope, just a very small and slim watch like device.....which also acts as a simple watch.....

But how does it know that your sleeping rather than just laying still?.......and how does it it know what stage of sleep you are in?

General Car Chat / Re: Corsa 'C' oil filters
« on: 24 June 2014, 17:47:06 »
No real rush for 'Euro car parts' to get their shit together, because I have a spare GM oil filter that is the correct size......Part number GM9192425.
It comes with a drainplug rubber seal that the pattern parts don't have......not even the Bosch.

General Car Chat / Re: Corsa 'C' oil filters
« on: 24 June 2014, 16:12:21 »Two types, one up to engine number 19MA9235 and one later.
The closest I can find on the side of the engine is 19BY6007.
I'm guessing that this relates to the earlier filter.......the shorter and slightly wider one.

Thanks, Mark. Eurocarparts have sent me a Bosch P7006. Which is longer and thinner than I've used before. I told them it was for a 2003 Corsa 'C' even gave them the registration number.

How many different oil filters are there for a 2000-2006 Corsa 'C' 1.2?....Does anyone know?
I assumed there was just the one.
