I've done my 5 online but went through Quidco and earned cash back on my bets ;)

I did think about that myself.....but I needed to give one my lungs a bit of a workout...so it was a walk to the bookies  :)

I put 2 and 2 together and came to the conclusion that my car had been broken in to

Or maybe you never locked it in the first place  :-\

And would explain why later on when you pressed the unlock on the remote, nothing happened, but the solenoids 'twitched' when you used the key to unlock. My understanding (which is getting a bit vague) is if you use the remote to lock the doors and then use the key to unlock, the alarm will sound until you start it  :-\ Maybe that's just a FL, dunno  :-\

I was actually commenting on how shite my wifi is, not how good 4G is.  :(

Try the same test with whatever plugged into the router....not using wifi.....if its many times faster than that proves your router's wifi is shite.....then consider buying a better wifi router  :y
Worth making sure you are on a free or co-channel (in that order) first, and not badly on an overlapping channel, before splashing cash :y

On 2.4Ghz, that effectively means Ch1 or Ch6, and maybe Ch11 if really lucky.


I can see 50+ Wifi networks on 2.4Ghz from where I'm sat now (admittedly 3 are mine ;D), so no chance of a free channel, but found 1 that just has co-channel. My other 2 wifi networks are on overlappers :(

Or 13 if your be naughty  :-X

Glad ya feeling better mate,

I've got another 114 Co-codamol & 50odd Naproxin to eat me way through, then go for a scan  ::) ::) ::) Must admit the pains gettin easier........don't have a clue why though  :D :D :D :D :D :D

Thanks Jason....

I could write a novel about money wasting at my local Hospital.......but that's another story.....except the health care is excellent  :y

Back from Hospital tonight.....went back to A&E on Monday....kept me in.....long and short of it ....
Chest infection....sorted now...
temp ... sorted now
blood sugar out of control ..... back in crontrolish now (back on gliclazide tabs)
one lung drained of fluid (almost) feeling a bit sore as drain was only removed about 2 hrs ago.

Interesting Doc asked me if ive id been been abroad recently....I said no....as he said they have several cases similar to mine with them at present .... they had been diagnosed as Swine Flu ......but they had been more poorly. I never asked if Swine Flu is an airbourne virus.....so I'm guessing that a passenger of mine had it...  :-\

Hey ho ......got 2 weeks of antibiotics......hoping to be back at work on Monday  :y......with the promise that i'll go back to A&E again! if I get worse  .....

Should sleep well tonight, without nurses waking me up every 2 hours asking to take vitals!  :)

Is that a kitchen appliance? Sorry, I'm not sure where the kitchen is, so you appear to be talking gibberish ;D

Yes you do!.....Its the room that holds the engine parts cleaning machine  :y ::)

« on: 03 April 2016, 18:43:39 »

Strange thing is with the ignition on if you press the rear heated screen switch and keep it pressed in, the interior light go off??? As soon as you release the button the lights come back on  :-\ :-\ :-\

I'm pretty useless at electrics, however I've been looking at the wiring diagram in the haynes book of lies and the interior lights & rear heated screen share an earth, could this be the fault in that there is a bad connection to earth????

This could be the problem, with a bad earth, when you turn on the rear heated screen, there could be considerable volts drop, causing the interior lights to go out. Without the rear heated screen on the volts rises again, but the +v will go back to 12v the Ov if theres a bad earth may be a volt above this causing the interior bulb  relay to have a mind of its own.
So I would find that earth ,attach a probe of a multimeter and attached the probe to good know earth , like battery -ve terminal, set the meter to ohms and see what it says.....battery disconnected being a good idea  :y

The last few weeks the EML has been on so added some Wynn's injector cleaner last week and today magically the EML has gone out  :) :) :) Well impressed with the stuff so will order some more  :y Must be all this low grade petrol from the supermarkets thats clogging things up  :-\

That's a myth.  It's the same stuff
.

I would think it highly unlikely that one application of very diluted injector cleaner has had any significant effect.  If it did, nobody would ever bother to remove injectors and ultrasonic clean them.

If your lucky it is!
I read an article (Honest John. Telegraph) That claimed the supermarkets try to buy off UK refineries, which is fine when they achieve that.....if they carnt, for whatever reason, they then turn to Europe to buy it.....then the problems begin.....European fuel doesn't have all the additives that UK fuel has......

When I used to rent out cars for private hire use.....I used to visit the local tyre place.....ask for 2/4 Fred Flintstone tyres in whatever size I needed....paid and then asked to check the car really does need the tyres....phone driver and tell him to take the car to the tyre fitters......Worked evertime for me  :y ;D

Ive seen them fail very early.

Want something quick and easy...Try a Khyam Igloo, had ours about 20 years, the current design has barely changed...cracking tent.

Rarely see em in the shops, but are available online

Sorry Jimbob.....that's about the same design of my current tent.....its putting up the poles which is the pain, ok for two people, but you'll struggle if theirs only one of you....on the wrong side of 50!

You only need one person for this....everything is ready assembled, its literally take it out the bag and unfold the poles and click into place.  2 mins tops.  extremely easy.  Almost unfolds like an umbrella

Not huge though...plenty of sitting up room, but thats it.

Ah didn't read the description closely  :-[ ......tho as you say theres not much room inside......
