OV9

Ah, I completely forgot that - we probably had a full conversation about it and everything :lol: Did you pull the fuse (for obvious sensible reasons)? Neighbour had a mate with an M4 come around the other night with a similar problem, and he said he blew the line through with a compressor, so I migh...

The latest big-name high street food retailer to suffer an outage due to IT issues. Is this the start of a concerted cyberwar to send the masses into revolt, an uprising against our government, making us ready to accept our new Russian leaders? Or has someone been using a default password on their ...

Oh, same. Thankfully a rather smaller estate here, so less to faff about with...

Fuckin' oof.

They got CyberEssentials/CE+?

In fairness, most people don't need massive upload - even multiple teams calls is maybe 10-20mb/sec for the upstream side. I find synchronous useful as I'm regularly shuffling stuff up to remote servers, etc, and the down speed is handy for quickly grabbing ISOs, running updates, etc. Swerv, if you ...

550 up/down here with IDnet, realisitically it's ~450 any time of the day you want it, and even than some of that might be down to my modem/firewall/traffic shaping settings I have locally on my router. I'm not too fussed by headline speeds so I run some moderately fancy stupidity on there, etc. One...

Quickjack is just a shortcut for axle stands, you're still crawling on your arse, still the same bullshit

And I know you said "Halfords" simply as "not £££££££ Snap-On" but only a small proportion of my tools are Halfords ! Main stuff is Teng but recently I've bought quite a lot of "US Pro" branded tools and although it's clearly lower quality, and I've broken a couple of ...

Have you been taking any other notes on this, other than in here? Because "fixing a ferrari with a halfords socket set, axle stands and an OBD reader" would make a pretty good youtube series/blog/etc. I mean, you see other people cranking on ferraris, but they're usually big youtubers with...

I'm not getting a response from the motor when trying to wash the rear - like at all - so I doubt that'll help!

Yeah I assumed as much!

As an aside you probably shouldn't wash your rear with screen wash. A bit harsh on the skin.

Sounds like someone's speaking from experience.

I'm not getting a response from the motor when trying to wash the rear - like at all - so I doubt that'll help! Ah. the BMW washer motors are shit, I'm replacing one every year on one of the cars. They just sit at the bottom of washer tank and corrode but are easy enough to replace. Another one ser...

Oh yeah and the rear wash doesn't work on the 135i, and apparently checking the motors is a wheel off, inner arch out, entire wing off job. Think I'll live with a mucky rear screen for now :lol: I assume you've tried just cleaning the jets? :P I'm not getting a response from the motor when trying t...

I just assumed the latter.

Caveat emptor innit

My verdict is it was some gobshite on twitter making something up for clout, who can then plausibly deny after the fact that they decided not to announce anything.

Still no word from my prospective buyer who has been chasing me for months and who I agreed to sell to once i replaced the E46, to make it 'easier' for me to move it on.

Neighbour is interested though, once he's done some research.

Getting on my tits now.

Using different lingo doesn't make them thick.

Just annoying.

Aside, if anyone's unclear on the reference:



I've used this a couple of times at work when I've rolled my eyes at the way the youths talk.
