Phooey

I bet the front trye looks good

That's drawn with a loving attention to detail Joe . I wish that was my work. A stunning cock indeed. When you say you wish it was your work, do you mean you wish you drew it or you wish it was your stunning cock?

No enough information. If the guy waited 10 or 15 minutes then he definitely over reacted but if if he had been waiting 14 days or more then he must have been close to starvation so desperate measure and all that!

Trying to decide on rolling eyes or thanking you! lol

Thanks guys

Google no help ... The service light is on too. Maybe that then.

Their public liability insurance may well pay for third party claims but I believe still breaking the law. Also I see no advantage in SORN because I though you SORN'd and got refunded full months TAX so the month the SORN was made has already been used. I can't believe these cars are in for longer than a month.

I say zero tolerance. I have been out and had a pint, sometimes two, and drive home totally fine while my father in law drinks ONE pint and he can't stand! No exaggeration! Different people metabolise alcohol differently and alcohol affects different people in very different ways. There has to be a blanket limit and I believe that limit has to be zero because people are generally not responsible enough to known when they've had too much. Not so much now but in my younger days I knew many people who honestly believed they could drink upwards of 10 pints and still drive home. I've seen my own father do it!

Quick question guys ... selling the old car (2009 Insignia diesel) for a few quid and sods law a bloody warning light has come on but I can't find it in any manual or search on net. It is an open book with an exclamation mark on the right hand side. Does anyone know what this is?

My insurance went up when I got my advanced qualification (only about £10) ... When I rang and queried it I was told I am now a higher risk because I am likely to be doing more miles!

Mine goes off within a minute or so of parking but the slightest touch, I mean unlocking, triggers the park mode and it comes on. Only use the battery when it's needed.

Definitely worth putting a tenner on that one then mate ... She is getting no f*&%ing car out of me. She's saving!

My last Mondeo did this. The accessory socket stayed live for about 15 minutes after the ignition was switched off. Cool thanks. It's not that long ... literally a minute or two so I can live with that.

OK ... so in the end I gave up on it ... borrowed a mates OBD meter and it gave no codes at all. Nothing showing on dash either. Took it for a drive and it was worse than she explained. Around town at 20/30mph you can just about live with it. Dual carriageway or motorway it's dangerous. No guts whatsoever. 0 - 60 in about a minute ... no exageration guys! Air filter black so took it out (made no difference) ... no split pipes that I can see. EGR looked fine and turbo clean and running. Also discovered she needed new pads and discs all round plus NSF coil spring and both rear coil springs. Suggested she start saving up for new car

I'm sure Ive read somewhere that some modern BMW bikes do this on the accessory connection. Maybe Volvo have adopted a similar thing then mate. Nice to hear from you again, Sir!

So, following on from this, I have been looking at plumbing in the hard wire kit. Now, I have found a switched live that might do the trick but there is an odd thing that I have never come across before. I found a fuse that is dead with ignition off and then live when ignition is on ... perfect! But, when I switch ignition off again it stays live for a few minutes. Is this a quirk of Volvo?? I have never had it with any of my other cheap, crappy cars!

That is hardly surprising as he vanished in a puff of angst years ago after getting just a bit tired of the constant sniping from a habitually immature and terminally oversensitive forum member who couldn't cope with being told he was wrong about something unimportant. (it happens) As with most internet forums there is a conveyor belt of idiots and jerks that come and go. my mistake was not realising what i was dealing with and trying to be helpful. Im far more careful nowadays. Anyway.. shorty who wasnt short. became Gerontious who also isn't short. and who has managed to resist this thread anyway... AS I'M HERE. Gerontious is a made up word (I added a surreptitious letter) and extraordinarily inappropriate for a motorbike forum. Its roots are Latinised/Greek (via TS Elliot) for "little old man" cause I'm faux intellectual-like. Im not little... and Im only vaguely old. in a vague kinda way. Im also having a Hennessey crisis.. which explains a lot. Nice to 'see' you again, little old man!

Ah yes one job Bob was born wasn't it @Tango That's the one lol Something I shouldn't be asking then!

Well now. I initially joined the forum as 'MidLifeBiker' because I am in my 50's and ride! A few years ago we went to an interesting cafe meet somewhere where the cafe was shut when we arrived! Remember that Stu, Bob? lol Anyway, another forum member, Shorty, was there, ... what happened to Shorty I noticed he's not on here now? Shorty started calling me Hong Kong Phooey because of my involvement with martial arts ... name change to Phooey!

Bought the Nextbase 412GW in the end. Excellent footage and very good quality. It has parking mode! and under £100 ... Bargain!

See, that's the thing. If we are not supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?

Ah but there's a difference between 'offering' it up and destroying the evidence. I wouldn't do that. My OH works for the police and I suspect I'd lose a lot of her respect if I tried to destroy the evidence. I'd take the cop in that event. I just wouldn't go running to make the offer.

99% of the time I stay within speed limits so not a real problem that. Plus, if I did have an accident while breaking the speed limit I'd hardly offer it for evidence of no blame! lol

That looks decent. No ugly wires is a huge advantage and Argos has them for £79! Serious contender there I think! EDIT: And, hard wiring looks pretty damned easy too!

Sorted with bike, Bender. Def for the car!
