An unsuccessful day
« on: 15 July 2006, 16:19:01 »
Well, today, me and Omegas aren't seeing eye to eye :(

Tunnie brought his 2.2 round for an oil change, but we couldn't get sump plug out. We decided not to force it off until we had a new one. So thats been put off until next week.

Bobf brought his 2.5 around - been having an ongoing issue with speedo (now fixed), ABS and TC. Current prob is ABS and TC lights are on.  Plugged in Tech2, and please to see a DTC stored (OSF sensor). Cleared the code, hoping that would clear the lights, but no.  OK, do a actuator test, and manually control the telltales. ECU says they are off, but they are on. ECU shagged I suspect :(

I was going to do my fuel filter today, but with the 'midas touch' I have today, I think I'll put it off....

The oil change was a bit dispointing, but I did get a nice new Carbon pollen filter and a new air filter, some !"&^%£" of mechanic put the wrong one in mine!! So it had about a half inch gap to the side of the filter.

Feels a bit smoother now with the new airfilter less "stuffy" at low revs.

Many thanks to TheBoy for giving me that airfilter which should have been going to an eBay customer!  ;)

Fuel filters a piece of piddle to change, i don't no what all the fuss is about! As for the sump nut, just use a bit of elbow grease  ;)

I must admit, working on cars usually causes me unlimited grief, but so far the headgasket strip down has gone very smootly (touch wood). I think cleaning out the passenger rain drainage pipe caused me more grief than this lol

Today is much more successful - my reference platform for this site is now nearly working, my other Redhat server at home has now learnt how to tell the time, the lawnmower started today without me having to kick it, and my wireless bridge is now working as it should.

I may even buy a lottery ticket.... ;)

My lawnmower refused to start on Sat.....not enuf petrol in it.....so put it back in the shed....that saved one job  ;) .....
Then on Sun my internet connection wouldnt work....tried usual fault finding stuff...i use a adsl modem with 4 lan ports, one of which is connected to a wireless router....both my pc's and printer use wireless connections.....i could connect to the adsl modem from laptop (so my internal network was ok) but modem didnt want to pass diagnostic test....tried turning it off and off several times...no luck.....beginning to think my isp was having probs.

Got out a usb adsl modem and plugged it into laptop and phone line.....sod me the connection was working ok......was now puzzled a bit why the other setup had stopped working.

Went back to original configuration ....still no joy...In a final point of desperation i clicked on the help in the adsl modem where it had failed its diagnostics......it helpfully pointed out to check the phone line connection....duh!!! i can see its plugged in to the phone line where im sitting...so ok i thought i will double check the wired connections......guess what....the help file was correct......the bloody phone line connection had sumhow fallen out the back of the adsl modem...which i couldnt see where i was sitting...just goes to show.....sometimes help files are correct  ;D

Cheers
