scammers on autotrader
Gumtree is just the same, i have had this email 5 times now. Not from cheapys, they were all in normal price ranges... The car is at my military unit in Glasgow. I can't make it home till another 2 weeks when I'll be on leave for a few days. If you want you can meet me in Glasgow for pick up or I can deliver it to your address if you would then escort me to your nearest train station. If you are 100% certain you want to buy it email me back with a contact number for me to call you. Thanks, Gavril.

Orange broadband
I'm on orange + its mostly all good, free wireless, cheap + fast.But, it has gone off for no reason ( i'm not on cable btw) + when you call the charged helpline they are in a foreign call centre + it takes a long time to get it sorted. I have been without internet access for up to 24 hours 4 times in the last 12 months...With no real explanation.

Redundant?
Well, after months of indecision my work is closing down. 4 factories + ours is the best performing + most profitable, but under invested in.So its closing . :xxx: :hammer: I can't honestly see if its a disaster or a great oppurtunity( i wont walk away with much :no:) to do something else, or do something for myself . So how has it worked for you? Has your life been improved by a redundancy, or has it got a whole lot harder?

cold weather tips
A big bit of thick cardboard over the screen stops the screen freezing, inside + out. Oh, and keep a scraper+ some deicer in the house as well. A gallon can of fuel a blanket in the car saves freezing if you get stranded in the bad weather.

Burst Heater pipe?
See if its the sort a 8?or 7? or 6? mm socket will fit over, then you can gently use a small ratchet on it.You can get a lot more pressure on it to un do it, than screwdrivers.You are able to 'over tighten ' with a ratchet though.. I have had to do these on my old zed, i found cardboard on top of the engine+ lay across it with a torch down the back of engine.Not comfortable, bloody fidlly, but patience will win. :cool3:

A gto TT 1991 87k for xmas?
I dont really want one, but i've just been asked if i wanted one :thumbup: Its my dads freinds sons + he said its got 11 months mot + good condition etc+ he wants to sell it cheap+ quick before new year, when he goes back to afghanistan. Only thing is, it has a blowing exhaust + a 'loose cover' underneath.I'm a bit worried about that! Anyone know what to check for? transfer boxes? noises? i have been on gto.uk, but they are not over-helpful :thumbdown:
