So FedEx re-delivered the (AWOL) 2 of 2 package, so my discs have arrived (Woop), with a sob story about not having a dolly on the truck yesterday…likely story, could have mentioned it yesterday? Sure wife would have called me down from bed and I could have walked to the truck and carried it back myself. Meh.

Ordered some Bahco 3T axle stands (Halfords) for the job, and some rubber Jack pads for it and the trolley Jack from Hamazon.

Have the 55 up on axle stands ready to start work on removing the supercharger to access the second throttle body, but decided to do something about the ABC fluid leak.
Removed the front half of her undergarments and the bracket holding the fluid container which holds the fluid for both suspension and power steering. This is where I think the fluid is coming from, either the container is seeping of the rubber pipe to the ABC pump? Or it could be coming out the top of the screw on seal on the container, really can't tell yet :rolleyes:

We have a neighbour that continually feeds the birds , ****** pigeons everywhere. It is that bad that we can no longer sit comfortably outside never mind sit at the table and attempt to eat anything , any noise and flock take off and it is time to cover the food so we just gave up trying.

If its not the birds it her feckin dog that she forgets she has let out the back and it barks continually until we phone her and she lets it back in , at least it doesn`t crap on the cars.

I ended up buying a car cover as cleaning the bird poo from car daily was becoming tiresome.

Morning rant over.

It's legal to shoot pigeons;)
I wish seagulls were as well.
Worse than pigeons for crapping on the car this time of year.

Our neighbour feeds them aswell. Council came round and talked to them after we complained.

Still do it. Covers our garden, decking and cars in seagull droppings.

They also feed the badgers biscuits........

Gave up trying to do anything about it

Is it legal to shoot your neighbour , i would need hundreds of ammo to get rid of the pigeons whereas just one for the neighbour ;)

She also feeds the foxes with Greggs sausage rolls , seriously , drives the dog nuts as he can smell both the foxes + the rolls whenever he ventures outside.

Get the RSPCA involved for animal cruelty if she’s feeding the foxes with Greggs!

Thing is you will have to remove them all then do the traditional "Man thing" by procrastinating purchasing new ones

I pick ‘em up Thursday. Price was good, I like the look too, and if you sign up to the (free) Halfords motoring club they give you a £10 voucher, so instead of £42.99 they essentially cost me £32.99 , just have to wait a week for them, as the price is online exclusive.

Did some more investigation work this morning and have pin pointed the leak source to be coming from the rubber seal in the filter screw cap on top of the plastic container.
Grangemouth a call on Monday me thinks??

Put the new sim card (which came with my new phone) into my old phone and it connected straightaway to the car module :cool:
Is this another Government plan to rid us of all our old cars by making new phone manufacturers to put in delete functions for cars older than me :(
