I actually nearly PM'd mick-1975 as I really fancied his Manual 2.2 in the For Sale Section, but made the mistake of telling Sylvia about it first! I won't tell you what she said, but I think you can guess

Ermmmmmmmmm.......she said no?

TB hates being in the south. Mind you the water doesn't help his mood I'm sure

Yes, horrible hard stuff, while up here our water is nice and soft, doesn't mucky the kettle or dishwasher and is nice to drink..............

Not here it bloody isn't!

You have not got 'hard water' surly?................

MrsGK hails from the land of the dangling simian... When she came to mine in Thornaby, she was amazed by the fact you could turn the tap on, and liquid would emerge - as opposed to lumps that you could build a wall with...

Now that does surprise me, I would have thought the original source would have been the same..........

...and so is TB

I am undergoing some induction training at the moment for a Hertfordshire based company, the trainer lives in Kent, yesterday we had her life, confusing her, with facts like Derby is in the South not the North. Today she said that she had studied a Map the previous evening, and understood. All good fun and banter, you understand..................

General Discussion Area / Got a driving assessment tomorrow............

« on: 09 July 2015, 22:12:25 »

As part of the induction training for one of my new Jobs, I have to have a 40 minute driving assessment in a Ford Galaxy with to many pedals............

I suggested they let me use my car, but no got to be theirs, as these will be the cars I will be using for work; it is years since I drove a manual, I am not worried about it but 3 of us go out for 3 hours so not just the examiner, who I believe is a Police Officer......... There is certainly a Police email address on the info..........

Well I had an issue with my interior light staying on after the doors were shut, instead of fading away they were permanently on and draining the battery. RobG said he was possibly near to me and had some spare that might fit my car, I asked for his location and he was only a few miles from me, he invited me around to collect his spares and wouldn't accept anything for them, all he asked was I returned the one I didn't use.

I am pleased to say the first one I tried worked a treat, the lights now fade as there supposed to and I don't have to worry about the battery draining and causing the alarm to go off in the middle of the night.

BIG, BIG, BIG thanks to RobG for being a top bloke and helping a fellow member in need, that's what I like about a great forum like this where people actually help each other

Still considerably cheaper though.

Alternator is about £130 for a Hella or similar exchange and its sub an hour to fit.

£110.31 +VAT and labour £52.50 +VAT I can live with that................
