    Might be something in that I suppose. One of my Triumphs wasn't really a triumph at all. She was a real Spitfire. I spent 2000 on her in the hope that Dollymight.......

    One p***k, and they let THEMSELVES down. (at least, so I'm told.......)

    aahh, if only one of 'em had asked me to....... But as the old saying goes, anything with tits or tyres is guaranteed to let you down.

    One of my Triumphs was a belter - great body, twin shockers, independent suspension, a comfy ride but a real goer at the same time. Ended in disaster though, at the moment of full injection she broke down and though I got underneath to try and start her manually she seized up completely. Took me ages to get over that last hump.

    Yep, they say that auld age is like owning an auld car....... Every time you cough, the exhaust backfires and the radiator leaks a wee bit.

    Given some of the motorial on here some of you guys deserve a boot. In the big end. Or alternatorively right in the transmission tunnel till you're piston broke.

    Thought maybe you were just exhausted.

    Wasn't the best of puns, I suppose, but didn't mean to baffle you Grim.

    Maybe you should try it. The benefits are manifold.

    I see what you did there.......

    Ram a couple of hefty uncooked spuds up his exhaust (ooer missus). Depending on the size and state of his engine it'll probably start ok and the compression will blow the spuds out, but at least he'll wonder what the hell was going on when he first turned the key. Oh, and try not to be parked behind him if you do this. Mortar-bomb spuds can leave a nasty dent.

    Ant & Dec are made of latex. Originally designed by Frank Oz for inclusion in "Fraggle Rock", they were dropped after the pilot episode for not being funny enough and the rest is history.

    Once she takes off the "fat suit", Kim Kardashian is so thin that her tits are in single file.

    Sprouts are the devil's own vegetable. That's why we carve the sign of the cross into their arses before we cook them. PS - I love sprouts, they make me fart more than usual.

    Don't think so, think you'd only know when you connected the new bottle to it and heard the stuff going into the system. But it's fair to say that if the system still cools down the cabin significantly when you turn it on then it probably doesn't need re-pressurised at the mo.
  21. Rudolph Hucker
    Very good of you, I'm sure.
  22. Rudolph Hucker
    Yeah, you can get it in Halford's or Dingbro etc.It's a pressurised aerosol type bottle not unlike a puncture sealant type thing. It'll show you in the handbook where the access tap for the system is and it'll tell you what to do on the bottle.

    The air con should be used for say 15 minutes a week through the winter as that keeps the pipes and joints lubricated and stops them drying out. If they dry out they can leak the refrigerant away. That might be what's happening in your case. The refrigeramt can be topped up fairly easily and cheaply but if after that it leaks away again you'll need to see a mechanic about it. Cruise control is great for long journeys on motorways or dual carriageways. Keeps you legal and means your right leg ain't stuck in one position all the time. Parking sensors are for burds. And moaning-faced auld duffers.

    Naah, that would make them willie-warmers. Maybe, given what we're talking about, "ribbed" would add a certain frisson? And, tho I'm not talking from experience here, if one is going to reuse the socks I think I'd advise using conditioner when washing them. I believe Throbber provides his own equivalent.

    take a leaf out of Throbber's book and buy a pair of sports socks - much cheaper and you can chuck 'em in the bin when full.
