    Went to Currys today to pick up the lappy. Had a chat with an assistant who actually had an idea of what was going on. He's apparently worked in the same dept of Currys for 10 years. (amazing he still has his sanity.) I asked him about Microsoft Office, you'll remember I was a bit fed up about...

    Disco 1 300TDI No Start

    Last lot I bought were just straight tube to be cut to length from Norauto in France. They came with blanking pipes too. So a very mainstream auto parts shop. They may well have not been silicon though.

    I think they are a cross between running lights, fog lights and sidelights. so i doubt they are dodgy. You can check it out on the Gov.uk construction and use site I expect. When you think about lorry cabs with blue lights all over the place....

    "Rusty springs" is interesting. Ever since my MOT testing station changed hands and the prefious owners were forced to fit a state-of-the-art testing bay, which is online to VOSA in real time, this has been turning up on advisories for our cars. In fact I have been given far more advisories than...

    Had my birthday present there, a flight in a Tiger Moth. The pilot was a really decent bloke, we were up for far longer than we should have been, he gave me more control than he would have done once he got the idea I knew what I was doing, and we did some great aerobatics. His day job was an...

    The trick is to peel them until there are no green (bitter) leaves left on them. just yellow ones. Cross cut in the bottom/stalk. Then boil them for not too long. In salted water. They taste nice just like that, with a bit o gravy. The smokey bacon, butter sauté thing is a nice touch.

    Disco 3 (LR3) Discovery 3 rear wiper

    @gstuart ????? Could it simply be that the arm isn't sufficiently tightened down onto the spline of the motor? Not knowing the car itself, as you know! The idea of "the hole being too big" worries me a bit! Does he mean the hole on the wiper arm?
