I don't think it will lock if the system thinks a door is open. Is this a possibility ?

Judging by the trimmings and accessories, i'd say it's a girlies car

Does the ignition lock 'click' right out when you remove the key ? If not, doors won't lock using remote (not sure about lock button) Had this once or twice in the past. I put the key back in the ignition and removed. Lock 'clicked' out and then remote lock worked ok.

I don't see how a 'polite erection' will help any

He He.. I'm watchin' F&F too... Not seen it before so all new to me. So far so crap

When you say 'will not start' do you mean ... 1) Doesn't turn over at all.. like a flat battery. 2) Turns over ok but doesn't fire.. maybe eventually does after a few goes. A bit more info might be useful before dumping a possibly ok battery.

Are you sure it's the s/c and not the belt tensioner pulley ?

Bridgestone RE040 .... Yes directional. Arrow on sidewall indicates direction of rotation.

Yes well done indeed - we could do with some good news today... She'll certainly be kept busy with all the new crap laws this government are dreaming up Just pray she doesn't get a job chasing ambulances in search of clients :duh:

Don't forget Zee's car had an open intake compared to 'the other car' which had airbox etc to mask any noise :)

Will it need an on/off switch

Sounds like you had most of the interior out fitting the satnav. So you may as well strip the rest out too

We go from ... Phases - Red, Yellow, Blue + Black neutral to.. Phases - Brown, Black, Grey + Blue neutral Could they have picked any more dull colours... Worse that they use 2 already present colours but reverse their purpose. Oh and they pick what's likely to be the cable outer colour too - Durrrr :duh: Anyway, no need to panic, they think of everything !! There's a sticker... Well that's a relief then, we're saved after all How long before we end up with crap EU 2 pin plugs Damn the :tsktsk: EU.... Sooner we get out the better. Anyway, this is getting ... Enjoy your bubbles Paul :P

This is just the start.... Next is electrical wiring colours enforced from Brussels. Can you believe they're making us use BLACK wire for LIVE !!! These eurocrats should get a proper job... Doubt anyone would have them :) Dates involved for change are all 1st April - not sure if that's significant

Change at 60k MILES B)

Enter stage left a bunch of people who will certify anything (for a large fee). Typically they will have passed an exam but have no useful experience. Obviously they're more competent than someone who's done the job all their life. It's the same as corgi registration on the plumbing side. Oh and tossers who have piles of microsoft certification and can't work an on/off switch. Without instructions like 'move mouse here, click button there' they're lost. Grrrr

All the stock has been transferred to Norfolk depot. They have nothing to fit IS200.

The repairer you'd like to do the work should be able to source an 'alternative' quote for you

Corrosion sets in following 2 complete revolutions of the wheel .. Or seems that way anyhow :D Yes the sharp edges are a good starting point. Refurbs are much smoother and much much easier to keep clean.

And then to REALLY screw things up, they introduce the euro As if things weren't bad enough already without sneakily putting all the prices up :duh:

Damned couriers - can't deliver anything on time !! :P

Swapped wheels front to back ??

I'd like to take up the post of 'common sense speed limit setter'. I would travel the country implementing sensible speed limits for roads. And namby pamby wingeing anti-car pressure groups would have NO say :P They could just sod right off :D Some limits would go up, some would come down... I foresee general upping of motorway + dualled road limits would ensue. Certain long stretches of hazard free roads would have limits removed. Some of those single lane country roads would have limits reduced from 60. Outside schools etc would probably have low limits (20?) during the day. And probably some other perfectly sensible revisions.
