    Well the pleasantness of today has come to a grinding halt. :mad: Changing the dipped beam H7 bulb on the Pluriel. As with so many modern cars this job is a real member of barstaff. To cut a long story short, a tiny bit of plastic that holds the fulcrum end of the securing clip has broken off...

    Intermittent Starting Issue - 2001 TD5

    Could well be, the contacts inside the solenoid get worn and dirty. Not a difficult job to take it (the starter motor) off and clean them up, replacement kits are cheap. I did this on my Disco TD5. that job is a real sod because the top nut is renowned for being difficult to get to and undo. I...

    You were lucky. 😲 😲 😲 😲 I/we had 4 of the sods. 3 taken out with my ex, one for each time we bought a house, then the last one when we divorced and I bought her out. The first two did as they were advertised, came in at more than the basic insurance value, the third came in slightly lower...

    Well yessdi, W's buthday, went OK. 1 1/2 hour's drive to the restaurant, (wish they'd move it a bit nearer!) but as always, really worth it. Set off to come back, 10 mins later she pipes up, "Where's my bag?" fiddles around trying to find it. Pull over, not in car, turnaround, sho nuff she'd...

    That is precisely why W demanded I fit the old kitchen sink one in the utility. Deep isn't the word. But this meant the waste pipe exit out the wall isvery nearly at the same height as the bottom of the sink. so you can imagine.... Still it'll be good for bathing a small dog!:) Sorry bout the...

    They are supposedly trying to tell me how my pension transition will be affected if I retired between April '15 and some other date. I retired on 20/4/2015, so it'll hardly affect me, if at all. It is all to do with those who paid in originally to an final salary , rahter than an average one...

    Doing a simple job of trying to attach waste to a kitchen sink I found out that old waste pipe, i.e. 1980s, is slightly different to noo 43 mm pipe and both are different to the weird waste pipe that came out of an old Franke sink. (Which I had to use cos of the weird overflow arrangement.)...
