It was my friend's funeral today and even though is was a very sad day, also really lovely too, obviously a well loved man. Not ashamed to say, there was a lot of tears. Anyway, I'm not religious in any shape or form but the strangest thing happened. Now, the weather in London is just grey clouds at the moment with rain all day yesterday and on and off today. The main part of the funeral was over and the priest was just saying the final prayers when all of a sudden, the whole church brightened up with sunshine, flooding through all the windows. Then about a minute or two later, sun was gone and it's not shone for the rest of the day. I've not found God or anythi…

For those of you who know diesels, what's the situation regarding the life of turbos on these cars and how much can they cost to replace? We know that turbos on petrol cars can be troublesome (especially on older cars), but with diesels so popular and having such high mileages, is the situation the same or do they last much longer? Thanks.

i had to turn away i was that embarresed lol

Found out last night that my place at Uni had been withdrawn as the local strategic health authority has pulled the funding. Cue a lot of panic and a very sleepless night last night. Anyway for some reason, the whole cohort of students ready to start the diploma in Sept have basically been told its a no go. So now I have 2 choices, either do the degree programme (prob better in the long run career wise but much much lower funding and will have to rely on student loans) or put off starting til January 2012. Big decision to be made here. Very stressful 24 hours!

...want to stab all the people that appear in this CHEESEFEST of an advert? Especially those two gimps in front of the 307 [YOUTUBE]6lylLAxzS4E[/YOUTUBE]

I just watched an episode and it was filmed at the Uni where I work. The doors they use all the time are where we go for lunch, but nobody in work ever mentioned it lol!

Well I get my car back tonight, mechanic says I need new plugs again though, which is a pain as I only changed them back in August, although it may have a lot to do with the starter packing up and us trying to start it anyway, that may have fouled them up a lot. Last time I bought NGK Iridium BKR6EIX-11's which seemed to perform well, just about to order some more off sparkplugs.co.uk and am wondering if anyone has any other recommendations before I do? It's a manual TT, with lambdas disconnected. No idea what the ECU is until tonight and I was told when I bought it that it had uprated turbos but that they are turned down. Needs a trip to zedworld for a tune!

I was sat in our company Mondeo yesterday at Melton station waiting for a colleague to arrive, so was flicking through the radio channels trying to find something worth listening to. I just happened to press the Radio 4 button (I was just doing it in order) and I heard a comedian doing his stuff, so carried on listening to it. Well my colleague arrived and bugged up listening to the rest of it. As I thought it sounded pretty good I decided to see if it was available on the Radio 4 website, and it was, so I've just finished listening to all of it.... thoroughly enjoyed it, and I'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't need to see an artist to be able to enjoy a good comedy …

Right, you flower children of the 60's (or even those of you who weren't, but want a "Strange experience"). Follow the instructions. 1.- Click on the link below 2.- Then "click me to get trippy" at bottom left. 3.- Look at the centre of the screen for 30 seconds (no cheating), and then 4.- Look at your hand holding the mouse, without moving it away from the mouse. You should be shocked by what you see. (it is called "kinaesthetic hallucination") http://www.neave.com/strobe/

Hi folks just got my missus a MR2 1993 rev 3 NA Auto and mot is up at the end of the month with a few faults on the pre test if anyone knows the cars would be a great help Fail on following parking brake efficiency below front sidelight out horn not working rear tyre exhaust emission fail exhaust emissions lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits Ok so not too bad all in but i could do with some help on the parking brake and exhaust faults. The exhaust is aftermarket and sounds like its straight through could this be causing the failure? Also where is the adjustment on the handbrake? Cheers folks Marty
