Scots [edit] Noun [edit] swatch (plural swatches) glimpse; look Gie us a swatch of yer paper. every day is a skool day!

It also only has a TD5 in it, and the semi external roll cage isn't right either. :rolleyes: I love the tow rope they used to pull it out of the shed is left on the ground! 🤣

The tratter in the pic has the wrong grill for the 50th lol

I'll have to tell W to stop wearing hers!! Orrible plassy old thing anyway! Put a batt in it the other day, :rolleyes:

Can I suggest going swimming, its great for non stress exercise (unless you cant swim) 🤣 🤣 Steam room & sauna is great for relaxing plus you get a good swatch. mmm might not be good for your blood pressure. :p

Yep the 4L was the one, came in Atlantis Blue or white Gold, so where the bronze green came from who knows. But the flip-flop Atlantis blue does look green if the light is right,as that is what it flips to.

Some people did dress their's up to look like an Anniversary, presumably thinking there was some cachet to it, and maybe some were still in stock and sold later than 1998. Mine has it clearly printed on the V5C which is why I said OP needs to...

The Anniversary was introduced in 1998 ive seen a 2000 bronze green one, silver front bumper & grill green seats & wheel centres. The other colour iirc was Atlantis blue or somit. Im sure they done a 4L v8 too ohhhh yer :cool: He still cant...

That's a good tip lad👌😎

Just replaced my bolt @ 168k on 2004 manual. Still in place. Quick tip if anyone has trouble with keeping the sump gasket in place, as it's supposed to be instaled dry, I used thin cable ties through the holes to keep it in place then cut each in...

Get Occupation Therapy on-side it's easier as well ...

Maybe we should return to Roman roads and cobbled streets. As the concept of laying decent tarmac to your average Irish travelling community falls on deaf ears.🙄 Theses days instead of some Irish woman turn up with several kids in tow selling...

Yes, but the Roman road has lasted 2,000 years. ;)

Romans had a pothole problem too :p. Loaded car, had some breakfast at a cafe, inspected a Roman road. Nothing new here then:p. J

Paypal just got back to us to say that they can see we are right although W somehow only managed to dispute €1 of one payment, lord knows how! They are now willing to file a dispute/claim thing. We will see.

Hi TT, thanks for asking mate. It is still complaining now and then (sometimes quite sharply). I think it objects to supporting such a lardy-bastid as me. ;) I am trying to lose the weight but the damage is probably already done, and at 70+ it...

As far as I would say the ECU sees it as just "a sensor" only. so as such it should be recognised without any issues. Do remember I dont know the D4 or the engine well. as well as who has already been tagged I would add @tyregeezer for any...

I dont know if the MAF is faulty as he cant get readings the way it was done (by the sounds of it). It does have a "get you home" its called "limp mode" I.E restricted performance. I dont know if the MAFs are the same, if they were I would say...

How's that knee Dan?

Someone say blow up hippos?

Aha! So I was at least half right then. I'd be very tempted to try and drive it with the faulty MAF disconnected to see it they have a "get you home" map.

..the Doctor rang to discuss my latest blood test. :) Apparently I failed. Lipids too high. Never mind, try again next year.

Have spent since about 10:30 messing around with PayPal, and Axa. I did what W would have done if her pills for pain weren't making her foggy. On her PayPal statement there are two separate different invoices for the same correct amount. So...

@Mark Piercy or @gstuart will know I expect. but to me it doesn't sound normal at all, unless it is to do with twin turbos or something? You can tell I don't have a D4! But on a D2 TD5 this is typical of a misbehaving MAP/Iat sensor. On THIS...

Nowt here either, that's three in a row.. Bums.

I've a client with a D4, it spends a lot of its time doing short journeys, after a run to England and when coming off the motorway it wenr into limp /restricted performance. Due to sooty or unexercised components. I put it on the diagnostic tool...

Sure it wasn't on a train going into a tunnel??!!! 🚂🚂🚂 🤣 🤣 🤣

Is that a breed that gives up easily?

Huge shower of rain this morning, at least it wasn't hail. Having great trouble getting my left welly on. This is in a pair that were bought especially for my odd sized feet and it fitted fine all last year. Once on it fits fine. I think my leg...
