What did you do with your Range Rover today

Unblocked one of my wiper jets with a 1 mm drill bit. I think 0.8 mm would have been better but 1 mm was as small as I had. Done a nice job on it.

Definitely my matrix connection leaking in the car. PITFA.

Yes very true but the UK is also not propping the club up with billions of UK taxpayers money which is why the EU are being vindictive. It was all so much easier before the EU but you are probably not old enough to remember that.

You flatter me!
I remember the dark days before the EU very well thanks. Endless strikes, power off almost every night, those were the days eh?!
Anyway, you've clearly made up your mind that there was no benefit from the EU. I can see the loss of those benefits first hand and if it's costing us 100k a year then over the whole country it's costing a damned sight more than the "billions" of UK taxpayer money we were paying. But I guess you will be too old to see that.
EU being vindictive, yeah right. Applying the rules is vindictive now is it. I guess you feel hard done to if you get caught speeding because you think the speed limit is too low anyway.
Let's leave it at that before we fall out over it.

The strikes were stopped by joining the EU? That's a new one. EFTA the European Free Trade Area was great. Merkle's 4th Reich is not.

I've been trying to clean the expansion tank off the scrapper prior to some experimentation. There's some sort of dirt both inside and outside that can be scratched off but doesn't respond to fairy liquid, the dishwasher, citric acid or common table salt (both with boiling water). Leaving a hose connected for 2 hours doesn't shift anything either. Ideas to clean the inside, anyone?!

Hydrochloric acid if there are no metal fittings. Gloves and mask needed. Or just leave it be.

Have you tried putting it in the dishwasher on a high temp program?

Bleach
 
just ordered one of these.
I figured if I've got to rip the dash out to try and sort the head unit out anyway I might as well modernise it somewhat.
Bugs me though that it's almost 500 quid for the range rover one but the one we bought for the transit was same spec but under 200 quid.
Bloody range rovers...........

Filled him. Warning light was on but only took just over 80 litres. Then wafted 160 miles to and from the parents in Yorkshire, only glitch being EAS error a couple of miles after leaving. Nanocom said unknown error but cleared it and no issues after.
Lovely to have that view and the ease of trickling along in the 4 junction queue, plus the stability and weight in the crosswind.

If we had been given a 3 choice referendum instead of 2 I think it would have been markedly different.
Stay in.
Leave.
Rescind the treaties we as voters didn't get a say on (Maastricht and Lisbon) so we were in for trade but not full unification.
I think the majority would have said 3 was a sensible compromise and would have saved a lot of grief all round.

That would work. It's how they clean cement mixers.
Some fine pea gravel and some sand and something to tumble it slowly. Make an arbour out of threaded bar and use an old tank cap fit it into a cordless at slow speed.

That takes things back to EFTA but the EU would have none of it, the choice they imposed was in or out.
