I assumed the modeo filter would be the same as the tranny so it might not be drawing in air.

Will be, yeah. Same as the Jaaaaag too. Not like their owners like to hear this. lol

Bloke at work bought an X-Type with a few toys, I said 'nice Mondeo'. He says you wish your Mondeo was as well specced as this.

I asked have you got DVD/headrest screens/heated and cooled seats/parking sensors/elec folding mirrors/Sony in-dash CD changer etc then?

Clamped. lol He is a ****er mind. :d

Nova failed/passed its mot this morning (was going to fail on a split cv boot, till i pointed out that id bought one and brought it with me, so they fitted it and passed it) even told me that it would actually pass the emissions test for a catalyst aswell :d

Then went for a jolly to upullit in my van, and found the little trim pocket things that go on the sill trims, and a check strap for my van, first time ive driven it in ages as it was off the road, and had a passenger in the back too, crew seats ftw :thumb:

[Edd]

For the moment yes mate

But when i was rushed off to hospital they did a x-ray which showed up 5 more in my kidney, they cant give me the correct medication to break them down until they have found out which type of stones they are (there is 3 types im told) need to have Ultrasound and CT scans, which is Wednesday, so im praying that they stay put until after then

[Spudly]

Oooof, that sounds horrific, i hope they sort it asap and they pass quickly bud!

[Edd]

It aint good, worse bit of it all is that i hate sitting around doing nothing, there's only so much xbox and tv watching i can do lol

[L14MNP]

Edd, did you see that link I put up in the kidney stone thread? Had some useful tips, as well as the expected l0lz.

I won some original RSi Hella lower fogs with brackets on ebay. This pleased me, Idk about 'happy' though. lol

That thread is funny read mate, I'm pretty sure I have kidney stones from too much calcium (that's what I had 15 years ago anyway ) that chap has them from drinking too much tea

The stones I have passed are rounded so have passed easier than them ones in the thread, the look hideous lol

I can imagine it being anything but pleasent, mate! Aye, some look like pure evil. I laughed at the lad who said it made him fancy a bowl of Crunchy Nut Clusters. lol

Made me feel sorry for the OP.

RTG is an awesome forum (ignoring the SAFC link). Pure Football and SMB forums are pure gold at times. Loads of meltdowns, amazing/terrible Photoshops and random sh!t.
I have never known a forum like that. It's hugely busy all of the time too. They hijack polls and all text into TV channels etc.

Think of it as UK based 4chan. lol

BTW, pics plz. :d

[Edd]

BTW, pics plz. :d


i will charge my phone and take a pic........

i even had to put my hand in a bog full of piss and fish the stone out of the pan as the hospital need it to examine ffs

[Jeff16v]

Polishing jublieeclips is the way forward!

I wire wheeled them first then polished, unfortunately my bench grinder is a cheap one and as soon as you put a lot of pressure on the polishing mop, it stops spinning.

I think I'll have to get the header tank polished by someone proper as I can't get enough pressure to really buff her up. What do you use For polishing Benn?

I also used srp on the silicone hoses to remove marks and buff them, it did a reasonable job.

[Edd]

BTW, pics plz. :d

Here you go lol looks tame compared to the ninja star shaped ones in that other thread, but im pretty sure mine are calcium based, as i do (used to lol) have about 4 pints of milk a day lol, bloody thing is solid, well heavy and would be hard to crack in half i would think

Surviving a 32 mile ride with the retro-bike boys today, was a horrific headwind, maybe 30+ mph, and still managed a wheelie across the carpark back to the cars afterwards lol

[bazzap8389]

Caker of a job tonight at work so 12 hours at double time to chill out really :)

[Spudly]

Surely that headwind was just wind half the time?




Unfortunately not, it seemed to follow us, ive never seen the wind so bad, it was picking up all the dust from the fields (90% of the ride was open land) and battering us with it, ive been in the shower and washed my face afterwards, and ive just been back to the bathroom and rinsed my eyes with eye drops as they were still full of dust and grit :eek:

[novait]

replaced the frontend/slam panel on the nova :) all lined up first time and wings bonnet bumpers fitted all ok :) very very happy :)

Got potatoes,broccoli,onions,shallots,leeks,swede in at the minute.
Bought 2 tomato plants that are on the window cill til i make a tiny greenhouse,also got some carrotts but christ knows where they will go.
Also,theres already strawberrys,raspberrys grow in the patch.
Iv got loads left over aswell that i will have to find a home for somewhere.

[mowgli]

andy, plant the corn between the tater ridges, you'll not regret it

[Andy]

I was looking at them today aswell as it was 5 trays for a tenner.
Might have to go back then.
How big do they get? Would i get away with using one of them flexy rubber type plastering buckets?? Got one spare that i used at my old house last year.

[mk1nova_rich]

Bucket should be ok but they can grow to 5/6 foot tall

[mowgli]

they go to about 4'6" & need a cane. the stuff you see in the field in england is not edible for humans & grows way taller... i once tried to convince a gang of brickies that they really shouldn't bother nicking a load from the adjacent field as it would be like bullets & taste shyte... but as is common knowledge, brickies always know better lol lol

[Andy]

oh...... lol lol lol
I may have to have a think then lol
I need a bigger garden!

After 10 hours of cleaning up I finally found my work bench, not been able to use it for the last couple of years due to being piled up with crap lol

What did you prime the new filter with? The two times I have done it on mine, I just pour diesel in.
I could do with getting a syringe.

Seeing a car trying to turn into a road that wasn't there.

[Novasport]

Getting out in the Sport for the first time in nearly 9 months, with the sun shining, even if it was only to get to work for its MOT! Passed its MOT with flying colours :)
Guy in a VW letting me out and getting excited about seeing a Sport lol. I could see him in the mirror pointing and mouthing the words 'is it a real Sport?'. I nodded and he gave me the thumbs up then mouthed the words 'has it got the twin carbs?'. I nodded again and I got the thumbs up again. Gave it some down the slip road and then slowed to let him overtake, he seemed pretty impressed :)

[88ESR]

Finishing work at 8pm and looking forward to 2 days off...

(Seems like ages since I was last on here...........)

The Hockley Nova features in there too (for about 2 seconds!!)...

[Asa-James]

it was all duty paid. just put in the wrong car. i was merely disposing of contaminated fuel, in an ecologically sound way.


(and it was less than half a gallon of diesel with £20 of unleaded, added to half a tank of fresh unleaded, before people start telling me it'll kill the car...)

[88ESR]

Rescued a hedgehog :d I was helping my mate with his fence and altering the last post hole when I couldn't use the hand drill as it kept slipping off so I put my hand in to scoop out mud when I got jagged with something so got a torch and realised a hedgehog had fallen down the hole. I managed to lift it out gentle and laid it down, after 20 mins it started moving and was on its way lol

[L14MNP]

Awaiting meritlover to link the torch to fire. 3,2,1...

I will have to spend the next couple of weeks transferring dubious plot films (wink) onto a media device for a special department where i work so people can watch them to generate donations. I will have to watch them all as they need me to classify each type so the donors can select one that works for them. :-)

[oVerboost]

Finding that my ECU had never been earthed to bypass the lambda sensor, so was always overfueling, causing it to be down on power, rough when accelerating, bogging down from low revs etc... So sorted that little lot by modifying the ECU loom, and then as I finished the postman arrived with my brand new washer bottle, so fitted that and binned the old dirty original. I like days like today, even though the weather has been proper rubbish!

[brainsnova]

Resolved an Astra g airbag light :dnow it's all back to functioning correctly

I have only been asking them for the last month to sort out a quiet week for me! Felt good just telling them I won't be in at all :)
Only downside is I'm self employed so I don't get paid :(

[Edd]
