just noticed that the radiator was cold, so looked at the boiler and pressure was too low. 5minutes on google, and figured out what needed doing so the heating is back on. Im new to boillers
currently trying to repair my car, think its a turbo problem. The last 2 nuts,very tricky to access, havent been moved for 15 years, going to try again with the impact drill
Also didnt like the white colour that my planet x fleegle bars came with, so now theyre blue, thanks to the powdercoating dept at work

ok, well maybe not the actual darien gap right now, but he is in vietnam, the good roads are bumpy and potholed,he will be out in the middle of nowhere ( I met him on the OLD road through the Cardamom mountains), he wants some forks,they can be found in singapore or bangkok, whats the go-to fork for such occasions?

its probably quiet since they charge so much for membership

they may be worth sweet FA, but you will still have your tokens
Staking is what its called (I suspect)
Whether the govt/s will ban it or not next week may be a bigger concern, or if they order your bank not to process crypto related payments

Crisp sandwiches, but I just ran out

This guy reviews the Vevor heater, and makes a load of other diy heaters using different fuels and materials
Im making one (or two) so I can keep warm IF we get a load of power cuts, and make the heat supply better suited to my needs.
Also I have a large butane bottle in the shed so I need a little heaeter to use that up
But yeah, I dont know the current regs for veg oil or red, but biodiesel doesnt look that hard to make

Is there some kind of new Inverter/MIG on te market in recent years? and the Euro torch?
Are they much lighter/easier/cheaper etc?
Ive been using industrial Mig for years, but also looking for a cheap one for personal use now.
I’d want 160amps at least, probably with Pulse, and option to change it to Aluminium would be great
At work we have Synergic MIG that do everything, but NOT cheap

I tend to be slouching in a chair after a beer or two. I cant really drink much more cos it hurts
As for doctors, I havent got very far with them, currently waiting for surgery to fix the previous surgery,and its taken a long time already. As far as the neck goes, i had an xray, maybe a scan long ago, iirc i got given some exercises but I know it really needs adjustment. Such a simple process

Konagirl, that makes sense
I dont grind my teeth, but my son does when he’s sleepin. Its quite noisy! I’ll send him that, thnx

Only when I drink beer.Or maybe wine
Yes I have seen the doc, and been to a couple of physio/chiros that adjusted it in a couple of minutes, the pain stopped there. But next time I fell off it started again, and either the physios or myself had left town
If I had a wife, she would be trained in the art of manipulation

the badger cull has spread to northants now, despite the evidence to show it hasnt worked, but the govt takes no notice of facts.So who is benefittin from the decimation of a protected species? It costs the taxpayer,but whose pockets is it going into?
We’ve/’re reintroduced beavers, otters,red kites, golden eagles and pine martens etc, brought back kingfishers by keeping the rivers clean, but now there’s so much pollution going back in the rivers….
And have they made trespass a criminal act now?
Meanwhile the richer get richer, the poor get poorer.
It seemed like far eastern countries get more like dictatorships, with less rights and less cash for the people (cambodia, china, thailand, burma esp), now I feel UK is doing the same

So there is a sensor on the bonnetcatch which controls the oil light

No, there isn’t. I can say that with certainty as it’d be f*cking stupid.

thats the minimum oil level light

when you think of the number of people that put 3 extra litres oil in, because of this light, its really realy ‘king stupid
would all the extra oil cause a turbo overboost situation?
asking for a friend)

I justgot another car, oil light came on at the start of a 250mile trip.
I didnt read the dipstick properly, and put 2litres more oil in
Oil light kept coming on
got home after 700miles and changed the oil. a bit later the oil light came on again
no fault codes
Apparently its a common fault,once the oil light comes on(dodgy sensor?), if you dont lift the bonnet to check the oil level,the oil light stays on.If you open and close the bonnet,the oil light goes out. Mine comes on again after half an hour
So there is a sensor on the bonnetcatch which controls the oil light

i got the LIDL one. also the impact driver.
they have soldering irons, jigsaws,circular saws, various other things too but im waiting for the sabre saw
I see the 20v range 3 or 4 times a year

If the cups are steel they should be magnetic, unless theyre stainless
Whos heard of AC50?
Is that good for this?

WD40, and boiling water
Bang the BB first, with big hammer

do it
Im a bit bigger than you but a 17.5 frame is too big for me in most brands

iirc putting petrol in a diesel is the worst.
I got 50 yards before I realised.
Didnt want to take the risk so got relayed home and drained the tank,(easy to do on my berlingo) took the injectors out, and fuel filter, hit the starter a bit, then put it back together and bled the system
2.0 hdi (siemens)
saved me £200

2004 berlingo hdi- want something like an avensis- or Audi/Merc estate, Id like a bit more comfort
Fixed a lot on it, just sensors playing up now

thers large packs of street dogs in thailand. My girlfriend always got on well with them, but they dont like me. I think its a male thing. Always trying to bite my ankles or stand barking aggressively
On the motorbike they are generally predictable, they either lie there, or continue in one direction, however theres one or two that are a bit thick, and Ive had to stick my foot out to stop them going under the front wheel
They do have rabies there, so it pays to be careful.

its not that difficult, just depressurize first
You can find detailed info online, or I might be able to dig it up
You will need a 400psi shockpump, needle adaptor and allen key to modify

Id be interested in wild camping but need a clue as to where
I can. Cant walk too far/happy to sleep in the car. I dont tend to sleep anyway, least of all camping
Got locked in a car park in Forest of Dean a few weeks back, that worked out well but couldve easily gone wrong. Nowhere to park off the road there. Various pubs in the area will let you park/camp for not much
Im in mid england
Id be back to Borneo or thailand , like chewkw, if I had the money, otherwise hostelling in the Canary Isles is probably as good n cheap as anywhere

no squirrels in my garden,,tho there is only the one little apple tree.
We’ve reintroduced bison, beavers, helped otters come back from nr extinction, pine martens, red kites, golden eagles etc
The badger cull is a tragedy, theyre a protected species, being eradicated despite al the science, and all for farmer’s supposed desire to transform the UK into some massive cattle factory.
Look at malaysia, indonesia, Laos, cambodia, and all the deforestation etc’happening’ there, for cash crops, land grabs etc, indigenous people getting killed off, like it used to be in uk.
So I understand they want progress, but theyre lining their own pockets, and they have much of the last remnants of rain forest on the earth
Unless you want your grandchildren to live in a concrete jungle, and never look out the windows, like so many people these days,
Oh Ive got lost now, but you know the rest
So lets not feed the rats/greys, you cant save the whole world like that

My favourite was the birdfeeder on a pole, a greasy pole

so Is a bone graft as simple as it sounds? they just take some marrow out with a syringe, then inject it into the broken bone and leave it to heal?
Im told 2weeks off work with a plate removal, or 6weeks with the bone graft. So why the difference?

I put the cam out in the garden the last 2 nights,and theres a hedgehog, a cat, and a muntjac
Presumably all after the cat biscuits.
the garden is only 5 yards square, and close to the main street, I dont know how the muntjac got in.
So My hedgehog and muntjac need a name too

not being a billionaire right now, it seems better to have several asda/poundland cheapo bits and pieces to survive on, until those billions reach my account, and then buy the harrods diamond encrusted nuke-proof versions
It is time to get a new folding saw, but this one has had quite a lot of use and definitely paid for its keep
Nothing comes close when it comes to it for keeping in your bag for clearing a tree blocking the trail in the jungle on the motorbike

dont lets forget degrees. I mean in a circle, not temperature. 100 is enough.
and spokes. why not 10? or 100?

I had one of these about 15 years ago, ,theshoulder protection and straps were supposed to save your collarbones somehow.
Obviously I wasnt wearing it last time I broke one
Currently waiting to get the broken screw out of the plate, so wouldve been nice to keep it in one place

good walks from moffat included the devils beef tub, hart fell, grey mares tail/loch skeen/white coombe, southern upland way to st marys loch, or join them all up if youre mad enough.
from the S.U.Way I could see the power station in solway firth 60 miles away

Good result. Funny though, my car did not behave as you describe when I hadn’t put a hose back on properly and it popped off. Just goes to show how different cars can be.

Yes it’s strange,if I unplug the MAF sensor it’ll run fine, but disconnect the pipe upstream and it goes like a threetoed sloth

I had another look while waiting for the garage to call me back, and noticed the air inlet pipe loose on the manifold, pushed it back on, and everything seems to work properly now!

Thanks very much for all your help,especially RNP
Looks like I’ll get another year out of this old car
On the other hand, a Merc C class nearby for £1000 is very tempting

RNP
is the flexi pipe part #1?
Its covered in oil and cant see the back but clips etc all seem to be in order

Ive had this 4years and it cost much less than thisisnotaspoon’s, so if I scrap it and spend £1000 on another banger, I’ll probably be able to sell it on without too much loss, meanwhile I can get back to work and make some more money

its not in limp mode, limp mode doesnt rev over 2750rpm.
The EML has been on and off so many times now I’ve lost count

RNP I can try that tomorrow, but got a broken screw in my collarbone so a bit restricted physically.
Ill call the local garage then too.
iirc the berlingo 2.0hdi is different to other DW10 turbos in that its vacuum operated

The EGR valve definitely needs cleaning too

Theres no DPF on this one
Im sure the fuel filter is fine

Well, the car is very slow to drive now. I did get to 50mph, eventually, but Boost Pressure was 0.0psi continuously.
Fuel rail Pressure was between 3720psi-7000psi
MAF 6.3g/s at idle to 45 at 4000 rpm

R N P – iirc the turbo setup is a bit different in the berlingo, and I have really tried before to get at the pipes to no avail

I changed the fuel filter myself,and checked it’s housing a few weeks back

I just started her up, and it will rev,in neutral, but its very slow up to 2/3000rpm, then gets a bit quicker,like normal
The torque app will tell me boost pressure,and fuel rail pressure, but I havent checked those yet, and doesnt the turbo only kick in about 2000+rpm, and undr load? Can probably get some readings there.
No sign of bubbles in the coolant reservoir, nor in the fuel line/s. Coolant level is the same. Fuel filter not due for replacement

Turbo is extremely hard to get to, even feeling the pipes is nigh on impossible

cant get to work now- and they all have much nicer cars

No smoke noticed.
I think i know what its like to drive without the turbo, but this was different, and got worse and worse fairly quickly. Even without the turbo it should pull away and drive without too much drama, but this was worse, so just found a safe place to stop
Warning light came on with the coolant light, as it often does, so after checking a few times Ive come to ignore it
Brakes were not binding
