And as if by magic, the BBC news, right now.... "And nobody wanted it to end, because they knew it would be.....the end." Ye Gods.

Naughty, Jacob. Naughty. :sneaky:

By choice, I've missed much of the TV coverage - I'm not anti-monarchy, but the seemingly incessant verbal description of what you could see/already knew, was mind-numbing. I'm dreading the forthcoming "another chance to watch" series on the Beeb. It could take years....

Have to say I quite like this : might have a crack at it if I can find 2 similar sized jobs. Granted, you wouldn't stick a vice on it or anything, but it looks a handy enough piece to roll around the shop!

"I've told you a billion times! Stop exaggerating!"

Well gentlemen, you probably gathered that I gave in and ordered a second-hand job. It arrived today, got slapped in....and worked first time, I'm pleased to report! Everything....except the audible "you've left your lights on!" alarm. Can I live with that? Not sure!

Well, not financial bad news in the "normal" scheme of things, but we are literally 21 years on from the twin towers horror. Hard to believe that two decades have passed.

Wife, or instrument panel?!

It's a "CR-V I-VTEC SE Sport" according to the V5. Rare? Wouldn't think so. I'd also take the word "Sport" with a large pinch of salt!

Mrs.Cozzer is voicing a similar suggestion. An unusual event - me being able to spend money - but I suspect it's something to do with the fact that she doesn't drive and I do. "Cozzer Taxi". I think you get my drift.... She actually passed her test over 30 years ago (first time, after 20...

Some models have 2 buttons, one to the left of the fuel gauge, one to the right of the temp gauge. Mine has one, left of the fuel gauge. Total mileage shown on first press (unless already showing, of course!) Next press, Trip A distance. Next press, Trip B distance. Next press, Total Mileage...

As discussed very early in this post, there is no dimmer. As you say, there are lots of similar problems - mainly dealing with tail lights and dash light failure - but none exactly the same, except for a Yank job who claims to solve the problem by replacing the dead bulb nearest the blue...

Ey up, Spectric... Didn't spot your response until now - apologies. (Gardening duties) Hmmm.... you have more confidence in my "abilities" than I have! Hence my opening post using the Noddy level! The still below is a freezeframe taken off a Yank video - hence the definition - and is actually...

The continuing ......zzzzzZZZZZzzzzzz......story... Got the car back. Laddo was briefed what the problem was, and what had already been done. I even removed the panels for him - I've done it so many times now I could do it in my sleep - and left it with him. Lunchtime, got a call from him...

That's a good point/suggestion, TomGW. As regards (some of) the questions in other posts, yes, mains water as opposed to well. Regarding 'dead legs of piping', there is one that would qualify - we've an unused vanity unit in a bedroom. That's definitely worth checking - thanks for the...

Not to my knowledge, Brian. At least, nothing like the example you gave - everything underground. Curious how you mentioned algae, though - these "bits" appear lightish brown to start with, but if left for a few hours do take on a green tinge. The only other thing worth mentioning is that, when...

Our kitchen sink has 2 bowls - one to wash, and one to rinse. We use hot water - and currently Fairy Platinum liquid - to wash crockery and cutlery in the bigger bowl, and then rinse off with "fresh" cold water in the other. Nothing unusual so far.... On the stainless drainer we have a white...

Oh, that's OK. I'll just blame you! :giggle:

Booked in for a quick shuftie on Monday morning, chaps....

Chum of mine's got one of the old ones too - uses it a lot more often than I would, and always claimed it's the dog's .....er....um..... I wouldn't be surprised if he splashes out again as well. £30, eh? Thanks for the tip-off.
