I call BS on this.
I am not alone, however. Just read the comments under the video.

« on: 07 November 2024, 12:06:04 »Three flights today...
First one, (D153 to R247) 7am from Germany to Lundun... "It's not going well" When we arrived in Lundun I did give him the R267 news. He took it well.
Second one, (D211 to R267) Lundun to Denmark... "I'm covering the election, I just need to send this email"
Actually, I need you to put your laptop away because you're sat by an exit.
"But it's really bad..."
Let me put it another way... When Alaska is counted, he's won. Everything else is gravy and delaying this flight for your email won't change that. The chap from Florida sat behind her had the decency not to laugh out loud
Third one... (D233 R274ish) Denmark back to Lundun. Twenty something boards in floods of tears.
Good afternoon madam, are you an anxious flyer?
"No, I ok, it's just that Kamalala has lost"
Worst case, tomorrow it might rain. But seriously, you've 155 ish million voters and the current tally is about 130 million votes cast... That's actually something to celebrate compared to the last UK election."
Off to the States on Friday... Could be entertaining.
Zzzzzzz - oops sorry, was I snoring?
Disrespectful comment.
I found it an interesting post.

Correct!

The WSJ publishes what the Neocons want published. Used to be an independent source.
People believe what they publish as being 100% accurate – rarely the case these days, sadly. Same with UK mass media.

Omega General Help / Re: Driver's door actuator - again!
« on: 11 October 2024, 19:26:17 »Short of going to north London, and doing it, I don't see how that can be more helpful. The wiring diagram in Haynes will clearly identify the required pins to apply power and ground.toJust found an actuator in my shed. Can't remember if it works or not. How can I test it before stripping the door card off?Using Haynes as a reference, apply 12v to actuate it.
helpful as ever .....
If it actuates happy days, and if it doesn't then it's dead... Which was, unless I am wildly mistaken, Migalots question.
Bought a new one online and fitted it. All works again.

Omega General Help / Exhaust centre section
« on: 09 October 2024, 21:45:33 »
I meant to mention that about three or four months ago, I purchased new two centre boxes for my 2.6V6. When the package arrived (from Poland), I dutifully took the boxes to my mechanic friend to have them fitted, only to find (after the old system had been removed) that they had sent me two driver's sides!!. The mechanic was able to put the old passenger's side box on, so I could get home and make the necessary demand from the seller to send me a new passenger's side one. A few weeks' later it duly arrived and I had it fitted. The seller told me he would arrange collection of the surplus driver's side box. Needless to say, that despite text messages, I've heard nowt.
Today, I sent him a text, saying that unless i hear from him in the next few days, I shall dispose of the drivers' side box, as it is taking up too much room in my shed. The upshot of this is that I may well be giving away a centre box in the near future (collection only!).

Noted!

Thanks for all your replies, guys.
My problem is that, on a whim, I bought the whole Mintex disc/pad set on eBay. I checked with the catalogue here:
]https://mintex.com/online-catalogue/]
They sent me the MDK0041 set and, today, I decided to have them done. It turns out, though, that the existing discs are vented and the MDK0041 ones are solid, even though they are advertised for my 2.6. It turned out the existing pads and discs are OK and will probably last me out, so I left them on!
Thing is, I don't think I can really return the [opened] box (it only cost £61), as i should have checked the vented situation before purchase. Maybe I should contact the seller and try my luck. The alternative is to knock them out at least to get some money back – but who would have a 2.6 with solid discs??
The is the eBay ad. I responded to:

Ho hum!
