OV9

Congrats mate - that was a long slog.

Passenger window now goes up and down without making terrifying crunching noises - hurrah!

Didn't notice till I got home that neither interior or exterior door handles work.

Will see what they want to do about that :lol:


Its very hard to believe they didn't notice that when re-assembling the ...

Fair point!

I think to be fair to them its partly the Argentinian team stop fucking about fouling everyone so much and trying to get people sent off and actually start playing football once they're behind. The England team then being in full defensive mode is really just survival I think.

Yes strange that co-part were doing the valuation - IME valuations have always been done by the insurer themselves. Interestingly I also got a couple of four figure payouts in the last 12 months for the theft of the RR and 911 write off back in '21 which seem to be on account of insurers re ...

Fingers crossed it doesn't go all Jeremy in Patagonia on you!

Hunt for the Wilder people is another great one.

Back onto Event Horizon I watched a YouTube video a while ago that there was an even more extreme horror cut planned and partially shot but got squished by Hollywood. The original had more than enough gore for me.


I think they've lost a ...

Very sad to hear this morning. One of my favourite actors.

I’ve heard you can use them all year round. Almost evergreen you may say.

Had a bit of a panic last night with the immobiliser in a Heathrow car park - the mobile reception seemed to be fine when we parked it up and I "deadlocked" it but was not playing ball last night when we got back. Following a delayed flight and sat in a hot car at 11pm with all our luggage after ...

Seconded

As separately mentioned - well done prof!

R5 air con stopped working nearly 2 weeks ago in the previous heatwave. Finally went in today and it’ll be about 3 weeks to be repaired - condenser and pipework coming from France. It’s 14 months old and has 13k miles on it so it’s a bit disappointing; it’s under warranty because there is no ...

If Lewis didn’t pit he would still have been second, such was the gap to Charles. I don’t think the strategy was wrong though.


So then he would have been second not third - vulnerable to Russell on a final lap which didn’t happen and would have ended up with him in the same place he was anyway ...

Yes it is very overpriced but I enjoyed it last year other than the crush to get out.

Please correct me if I'm being a little hard of understanding but why did Ferrari not split the strategies and leave Lewis out on knackered tyres and he'd have won behind the safety car? With a driver on the cusp ...

I'd say he's coming up a little short.

No - I'd heard that 12.2V is 50% full . :geek:


You're always so terminally positive :D

I can't believe this open invitation to punnery has not hooked anyone in :lol:


Watt? I missed an opportunity for puns? That's it, I'm starting a re-volt.


Thanks, DJ - you have discharged your ...

I didn't realise that 12.6v is effectively "fully charged", 12.4 is 75% charged, 12.2 is 50% empty and 12.0 will struggle to crank.

You may have 2 batteries?


Yes I think it does - perhaps the tracker is looking at the auxiliary battery SOC but I was under the impression they would be on a single circuit / have a common voltage but maybe not.

ETA - apparently it may not but might have a battery management capacitor which ...

Picked up a Ctek charger now the 911 is sat in the garage. First use is actually the RR as we're off on holiday shortly and it seems to have a concerningly low SOC.

My new ones have audio as well so now I have to remember not to say anything I don't want my wife to hear as she has the app on her phone
