OV9

The Aircon compressor (I think) on the Zoe has started making an awful racket. Checked and it isn't the fan, and I can't see any obvious problems from the outside. Booking it in with the mechanic to look at. Hopefully it isn't a major issue (in terms of cost), but I'm doubtful.


Common problem ...

My issue was no stations within the default 15 miles, so you might have to open the radius out if no rows found on first query. There is actually one mom & pop station inside 15 miles but assume a data issue.

Currently down, Tim? Does nothing atm.

I think we could probably all agree to leave any perceived racism at the door here, given the long history of, what 50, 100 core people? I remember being called out many years back for an equally innocuous remark. Also Chris is a massive tall bellend, so there.

BP saving my meagre portfolio. Raping the earth ftw.

2025 not been great with the missus suffering from life-threatening cancer yet again. Surgery complete and 2 chemo's left - one right now, so currently babysitting my disabled daughter on craggy island while waiting to be dad taxi to my lad who's working nye at the pub. Depressing nye achievement ...

Have it on the X-Trail for the last few years. Works well, just a different technique vs. a ratchet handbrake, in that you have to positively come off the clutch and trust the system, rather than balancing clutch, throttle and handbrake. The next generation of drivers won't ever have to do the ...

You mean a manuel with a button handbrake and hill hold?

Sadly I did wonder about you reading about all the Sky culls.

Not massively enjoying my job but it's a tough market so will keep my head down for now. Just the 11 years until retirement

Thanks all, dipping my toes with T212, just small beer while I get a feel for it.

Which app are you guys using for stocks & shares? Within ISA?

Taking stock of my financial position and am a little behind where I want to be.

It was only a small stake sold to an unknown buyer. Stroll snr. still very much the owner.

Dab of oppo???

Linglong equipped diesel avensis, so yeah.

To answer the question - I wouldn't have done any of that!

Only time I came across something similar on the m11, smackhead weaving from lane 1 to 3 and back again to block us overtaking, I just sped up and disappeared.

Bless you for the social responsibility though.

Your remote guy is probably doing OE.

Also watched maybe 3 mins out of the 45. The car influencer knobs at least give us a start middle and end. Give us a dyno, shakedown etc. Next project.

Hi, my 17yo is taking on his gran's C1. Seen a few mentions of learner/provisional insurance, looks like the way to go. Veygo are quoting £37 a month - about right or more shopping around to do?

No need to wipe of you don't want to. Presuming you have a microsoft account linked to windows activation? Just ensure you know the address and password.

Dude 100% in on it.

It's just a starter...rock the car back and forth as hard as you can, with it in gear. If the starter is accessible give it a good smack with a soft face hammer (or a hammer with a rag). You might be blowing a load of money for no reason.
