Re: On my walk.
I'm not pessimistic............a pessimist would never have taken it on.

Re: On my walk.
I think it will be fine. The old gearbox was the problem, I think a lot of these get scrapped for electronics and suspension issues. Chances are the new box will be OK.

Re: On my walk.
True!
Why should you borrow money from a pessimist? They never expect it to be paid back!

As I was always told: "A pessimist is seldom disappointed"
Sadly no longer a C5 owner

Re: On my walk.
Unlike those who never expect anything - they are never disapointed! 
As for Gibbo not being a pessimist, I'm not sure a realist would ever have taken it on.

Re: On my walk.
It's boring here..................rained off again.
So my old mate gave me an old Dell laptop with XP to use with Diagbox, he said just wipe whatever's on it but I've discovered a lot of family photos, his late wife and the children and decided to save them to disk in case if he don't want them his kids might.
So I managed to burn one folder full but another folder doesn't put up the burn to disk option and I can't think how, any advice?

Re: On my walk.
Gibbo you should be able to manually slow the burn rate to something like 4x as they usually run at auto speed which might be too fast.

Re: On my walk.
I followed all the usual procedures but all I'm getting alongside every pic is "An error occurred." I'll have to leave it for now other things to do.

Re: On my walk.
I'll give that a try tomorrow Simon. Thanks.
The rain stopped for an hour so I managed to get the other drive shaft back in on the C5, nearly...........the sky blacked over and down the rain came again before I could get the centre bearing retainer on.
