Tiz Sunni again! Time to get the top oft (me hair dryer)
You know how steering goes heavy when the old-style belt or pump fails? This is worse. Not only does it go heavy, but it actively fights back. The system tries to default to straight-ahead so as you try to pull over it keeps crabbing. Scary in a fast-moving situation, frustrating any where else.What's the effect when this happens? Do they stop driving or do they produce errors on the dash or side effects that scare owners into stopping?
Talking of tin snails, how's @derwendolly doing ?
I now have to remember when in town areas there is the school run in morning & afternoonWell, 'allowed' is probably stretching it but I am not sitting around any longer
The machinery thing is ok after 24 hours so good to play in the workshop!
Yeah all is well now cheers. How is the traffic these days? I bet it's manic out there now
Hardly "fail safe" is it?You know how steering goes heavy when the old-style belt or pump fails? This is worse. Not only does it go heavy, but it actively fights back.

In a minute i am going to be clearing out the Disco then going to pick up 40 bags of topsoil, i.e. 1 cubic metre. The silly beggars can't deliver as we have a gravel drive and they reckon their pallet lift/trolley thing can't make if over gravel.Morning All
I think today might be a good one here, because we have an early morning mist
I am not intending on working on other people's properties today. Just having a rest and doing normal stuff here.
Having said that, my son (who I am bankrolling until his bonus gets paid (28th)) may ask me to go buy the materials he needs.
This is because I am in fact just a walking wallet and cash dispenser.
You all have a great day today.
Can't you fill it up wiv a mix of acetone and ATF and leave it like that for a bit?Someone gave me a Mac stimmer - not sure I can be arsed trying to fathom getting it running. Been sat for a while though it fired up the head isn’t spinning as it me be oxidised in the drive sheath.

I hope they are Kir-Royale's (is there any other kind?)Well popped out to Bournemouth/Poole Wickes filled two big trollies with 40 bags of topsoil, Wifey did very well chucking bags on her trolley. One of the Wickes guys helped her pull it through the checkout and to the Disco where we loaded all 40 bags, no sweat. 1000 litres of topsoil at 10p a litre, Bank holiday deal apparently.
So Wifey is happy.
Then went to Ringwood to pick up a bit of joooolry that W won in an auction.
Felt we deserved a pint, as the weather was so lovely. but could we find a pub open?
Only on the wrong side of the dual carriageway.
So we went home and are still enjoying Kirs. On the decking for the first time this year, except for when we wrap up warm and have No 1 daughter there for a cup of tea!
Good day so far.
Enjoy yours peeps!
No, "Kir normal" made with a white Minervois and Creme de Pamplemousse Rose not normal really at all!I hope they are Kir-Royale's (is there any other kind?)
Oh dear, that don't sound too good.I ran into the physical reality of why I gave up work so instead of wasting the day, I did a bit more to the press tooling I am making. Once the Mrs got home she helped me fit the carpet I was struggling with and all is now serene
