Re: The Watches Thread

Anyone fancy a 5m old (slightly akwardly named) Alpina Alpiner4 auto? I think this is bl00dy lovely with the blue sunburst dial, but cant justify it to myself at the mo. Selling on the Chris Ward forum. Seller is based in the US but is a known and trusted forum user. He is looking for £485 includin...

Re: "The car is making a clanking noise"

I had a cross shaped one with different sized sockets but It got left behind in Edinburgh when I moved to London I think. The nut that has been put on is not one for an actual wheel though so who knows what will fit. The mate I am borrowing from has a 4 sized one so I am hoping one of those will work.

Re: "The car is making a clanking noise"

I have two socket sets but most of my tools are for woodworking etc. This is only the second time in twenty years I have needed a larger socket. I intend to request a larger set for my birthday though. :)

Re: It's the weekend

I read JL's post again as I hadn't spotted the quadruple negative either, I understand his comment completely and a free with the sentiment. Plenty places will replace parts until a problem is solved with no real knowledge beyond reading a fault code.

Re: "The car is making a clanking noise"

Still not got it done as when I got dry weather I discovered some daft bastard had fitted normal nuts of a different size to the supplied wheel brace. And due to having one working car have not been to my mate's to borrow his larger socket set. And now I have looked out the window to see it is pissi...

You could get a decent Saab or Volvo from eBay, especially a petrol as bizarrely some people still want diesel.

Re: Google definitely listens!

I mentioned to my other half that my old Alpine Lowe shell jacket thing was no longer waterproof, within a short period of time NikWax ads appeared on my FB feed. Not sure if my phone has defaulted to listening.

Re: Primary school shenanigans

My wife was the only non catholic teacher at a school run by nuns in East London. I would have to check details with her but not sure discipline there was much different to a normal decent school. I wonder how much is "moral compass" and how much is down to the type of kid who generally go...

"The car is making a clanking noise"

Said my darling wife when she got home. Upon investigation the rear suspension mount has split. At least it is cheap but could it not have broken over the holidays when I had time and weather to get it done! :(
