Bought some Michelin branded screen wipers from Aldi the other day, £5 each.

Took three attempts as I kept forgetting to measure them.

May fit them one day.

Colin Furze made a bumper car for the Stig. It is a bit unusual;

Sorry to hear that - it's another reason why I have my hard disk intact and packed away safely, whilst using the CF card for everyday use. It's more of a preventative measure than anything, but of course can't help the system if there is a hardware failure. They can be re-flashed, but the kit is expensive to buy. Fingers crossed for your new one...

A young lad, walking through a disused factory found a welders mask. Picked it up, put it on. Due to the broken glass, the light refracted in ways he'd never seen before. He was amazed and wandered round staring.
A voice came from behind him.
Hello lad, would you like some sweets?
No thank you said the lad I don't take gifts from people I don't...

Really love this colour on the 306, only remember ever seeing it on one other.

This must have been one of the last of them before the new 306 came along surely? One of the last N/A diesels I'd imagine too.

Bit of a laundry...

There is an Irish Linux distro called Zorin which can be made to look like Windows 7 or Mac OSX depending on your preferences. I haven't tried it as I never liked Mac and it seems pointless to have something that looks like something I don't like. Probably be fine for people with an old windows 7 machine.

I did laugh at a group of chinese ladies inspecting all and everything they came across, thinking to myself I bet you know someone that makes that junk !

You found a shop that sells junks?

As did the Chinese ladies :P

That seems a bit naughty - upping the price like that!

That price seems pretty good, but if you change your mind I'll happily run up to Jim's and get it or could as actually pick it up on Saturday morning from the seller and call on Jim on my way

Mike, as always, it would be lovely to see you :)

I though i had posted on this one yesterday but hay ho, thanks for the heads up as the lads one ( 2003 xsara picasso 1.8 dohc petrol ) seems a little sluggish when starting, so will check when he is on holiday in about 2 weeks, cam belt time.

I just like the whole site , its very helpful and full of what's needed.
Maybe a YouTube channel with how to videos and vlogs ?

You always could do that by opening another tab (Ctrl-click) or window (Shift-click) on the post's individual header and then copying the URL of that post. I've just checked and it still works.

All the major producers now only supply via distributors ( Shell, Fuchs, Castrol, Total etc). The distributors are rated gold, silver and bronze and you can only buy from the distributor based on your annual spend.i.e. don't expect any favours on price!.

Nice tip thanks Jim, will have to get an eye out. No need to worry about Win10 either, 7 does all I need and more :D

The current stable release is 2.8.22. There are Exif Viewer extensions freely available, but I tend to use Photoshop in the main (as I couldn't be bothered to learn another image editing programme). I do dive into Gimp every now and then, but as luck would not have it, I am shortly going to be in the middle of a Windows 10 repair, so can't look...

There 2 sizes belts for late 1.9 TD's depending on the Air con compressor.

Sanders 1735mm and Delphi 1752mm. The eccentric tension is locked in place for easy removal and fitting.

In short,

Damnit!

That's very valuable when reading wiring Diagrams Marc. Excellent :D

Everything I buy from Japan, China, Taiwan, Singapore and Greece I always get them to declare the value as <£15 so there are no customs charges.
Most of them do this automatically now anyway.
Same from USA & Canada but rarely buy from there now.

The rear sensor mount is a brilliant piece of lateral thinking. Obvious really - once someone has thought of it!

Hi, Iwas replying to a message dated Mon. 28th Sept 2009. Yes time does go very slowly when you are retired, there are only 3working hours in a day and anything after 1230 is a bonus. Gerry
