Today's diesels have another complication. Toyota and possibly many others require an additional squirt of additive. (AdBlue a trade name) which is basically uric acid, I'm not taking the p... to keep emissions down. Big warning lights come on when it is running down. What else it does I don't know...

Crinkle Crankle I think, I've seen one in Norfolk or Suffolk somewhere...

A simple schematic (the easy bit) What it doesn't show is the array of sensors that can shut the engine down at the drop of a hat.

I followed it Kev and it's a good example of what I was saying. All those added complications for some tiny improvement in performance or possibly to help meet some emissions target.

It's emissions...

I have a bluetooth OBD (onboard diagnostics) gizmo that reads fault codes and live data from the ECU, this is displayed in an app on my phone. Certainly worth the £4 I paid for it as I was able to give the garage the relevant fault codes, and the circumstances in which they occurred, which speeded u...

A priest, a minister, and a rabbit walk in to donate blood.

The rabbit says, I think I might be a type-O.

In England the only kids attending infant schools are children of key workers.

Year 1 and Year 6 went back to the classroom before the summer holidays, key worker children were kept in their own 'bubble' away from the other children.

Many thanks to Sally, picked up some more masks yesterday which are greatly appreciated.

The swimming pool is open, can't get much safer than a chlorine rich environment so looking forward to that. It's not the 2 week cruise around the Med we did have booked for P's 60th but it's a holiday. I've been saying that for years. My hair has been gradually been bleached a fetching blond colou...

Well I don’t know where you lot shop but nothing much seems to have changed round here, except for masks.

This is more where am I going. Booked in at Holme Lacy House Hotel in Herefordshire, it's currently running at 50% capacity to allow for social distancing. Live entertainment is outside on a purpose built stage, advice is to bring your own 'garden' chair. I bought a new set of heavy duty recliners b...

I thought I'd seen something on Facebook about your brother, please accept my condolences Stanley.

Insurance companies are very good at doing that. I always consult the Meerkats and then phone the number on my renewal letter, never fail to get a better deal.

Thanks Kev. I have some very thin fibreglass rods which I saved from a pop up tent, they are quite good for pulling cables. I only have to come from the driver back quarter to the left of the driver seat. The transceiver is going to be mounted vertically on the side of the centre divider to the lef...

Very good, Kev. Do you make them up yourself or does it result from a mis-spent life on Facebook?

Mostly Facebook
