Looks like the chinky super-embassy has now been given the green light.

.......oh, and Trump has stuck his oar in about the Chagos surrender.

Looks like Starmer's constant 'rimming' of the orange man has made no difference.

Stuck his boot in more like!

Hi all.
So, i have an 1998 omega 2.5td and as the majority of you know, with the age, they tend to have a crappy hot start. Mine is not that bad, 2 to 3 seconds of cranking the engine.
Now, I know my injection pump probably is telling me that it needs to be repaired. And I'm going to repair a spare that I have, then change it. In the meantime I was researching why it starts to do the hot start issue and realised that when hot the electrical fuel pump does not prime the circuit, because it's controlled by 2 signals, one is the alternator warning light, the other is the number 1 glow plug. The alternator signal only works when the engine is running, and the glow plug when the engine is cold. I started to think and if I removed the signal from the glow plug and used a timmer relay to simulate that signal it should work as the timer relay resets itself when the ignition is off, so every time I put the key in the number 2 position it should prime the circuit.
The only test that I did was when hot connected 12V to the glow plug signal for 2 or 3 seconds and the engine started almost immediately.
What do you guys think?
I know that there is some bypass thing that tells the engine is cold so the glow plugs work even when the engine is hot, but I don't like that...
I was thinking of making the thing with the timer relay reversible, so even if this don't work I can put everything as it was.
Thank you in advance for all your opinions
And I'm really sorry for my English as I know is not perfect.

Yes he's completely unhinged!   

I wonder how a great country like the USA can keep putting nutters and dotards into the Oval Office? It's not that long ago, but people have forgotten about 'Dubya' already. 

Anyway it's the rank hypocrisy especially from Starmer that's got my goat.  You'd think the BBC might point that out? 

The guy is a fučkin nutter. He proved it again today with his infantile letter to the Danish prime minister. 'You didn't give me my favourite toy, so I'm gonna throw the rest out of my pram'

Before Trumpy showed an interest, did Denmark ever give a shit about Greenland?   

What difference does that make? 
I don't really give a shit about a few of my things, but I wouldn't like anyone to just take them.

Well....   I wonder what the average Greenlander on their icy streets thinks? 

If Trumpy offered them $$$$ for investment, upgrading infrastructure etc they might be tempted to become the 51st state.....

Read the news, there are plenty of people's views on there.

Which news?  The corrupt corporate mainstream legacy media? 

Yeah OK, I'm being a bit contrary.... 

But...

Where was the outrage over the years when Spain has acted like complete and utter Tuesdays over the border with Gibraltar? 

Where was the outrage when France sent technicians to Argentina during the Falklands war to maintain their Exocet missiles? 

Where was the outrage about Mauritius making unfounded claims on the Chagos Archipeligo and weaponising international law and opinion against the UK? 

The hypocrisy from the EU who have always backed Spain in their quest to gain control of Gibraltar, against the expressed wishes of the Gibraltarians, and Starmer who talks loftily about the Greenlanders right to self determination, but doesn't give a flying fk about the Chagossians right to any say in what happens to their islands as he hands them over to Mauritius is just effing staggering! 

But hey! It's Trump, so lets all jump on the Outrage Bus as Nigel (Entwood) used to say!   

Ok, I'll admit it, I've got.........Trump derangement syndrome 

And another thing....   China! 

Where was the outrage when China disregarded the international treaty with Britain guaranteeing Hong Konger's the same rights and liberties for 50 years, known as the 'Basic Law', after Hong Kong was handed to China in 1997. 

Where's the outrage about China claiming almost all of the South China sea, including the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) of neighbouring countries such as Vietnam, Philippines and Malaysia, and building military bases on islands, atolls and reefs across the region? 

But it's Trump, who is acting like a dick, so lets all get outraged!

I always thought that we were the 51st state. 

4 x CD changer, not 6, sorry.

Never tried the satnav either - doubt it works
