Pfft. 8 minutes, a mere Limerick 🙂

25 minutes or bust for me 🙂

Things were different back then, it was OK for bands to experiment. The closest thing nowadays are probably radiohead, but they are really, really crap. (Takes Cover)

I’d brush my teeth before doing it. 🙂

Good to moderate the worst oh the hormonal behaviour.

I have a D40 and the great all purpose 18-200 lens. The camera is much, much better than me 🙂

I use a SB600 flash, and for indoor people pics can’t rate it highly enough as it is generally used bounced.

Bobby looks like a ‘balls n’ all’ sort of gal.

Nina looks better in that photo too. 🙂

decent cheddar.

They are bloody good fun 🙂

I reckon about 20,000 miles from front tyres 😀

Good work fella 🙂

The steerer??

You don’t see the steerer??

I confused.

CAB and county court would be my first port of call.

Its not uncommon.

If you want to buy from JL, I have £500 of vouchers I would like to turn into cash 🙂

Go and have a roll in the snow you lot. Cool off a bit…

Check you insurance coverage, if they smash your stuff (like they did ours) we got a crap settlement. I’d rather do it meself.

AB,

Cam position sensors are a common failure point on the TDCi motors. The 1.8 in the focus is literally a 5 min job. From memory the part was £20 or so. Never played with the 2.0 motor, but I imagine it will be similar.

Take engine cover off.
Undo connector to sensor (on top of the cam cover)
Remove fastening bolt (8mm IIRC).
Put it back together.

As for the other bits for the OP.

Headlight bulb – Do this youself. Easy peasy. £5.

Rear bushes – pretty common failure on a lot of cars, decent independent should be a lot cheaper.

Handbrake cable – Is a relatively easy DIY job. Get a Haynes manual and check it out.

Was it explained wht on earth you would need rear hubs?? Are the bearings a bit flakey?

Sounds like the Ford Garage was trying to shift you a new car. Cheeky Feckers.

As said earlier. A decent Garage will sort this for a fraction of the cost and only replace what needs to be replaced.

It does not matter where in the universe you are, a hydrogen atom is still a hydrogen atom, and its absorption/emission spectrum will be the same. If its not Hydrogen, it will be something else..

It may be red/blue shifted slightly depending on the speed that the object is moving towards/away from the point of observation.

You can’t see gravity directly, but you can see its effects everywhere, whether a falling apple or calculating the path of distant stars. It still exists though.

Unfortunately I have to go as well.. (Well, Pangbourne)

OBD scanners are cheap from eBay, and pretty widespread. Take it to an independent garage get the fault codes read.

I would almost put money on the cam position sensor.

As for the other stuff, get a decent garage to check it out and see what actually needs to be changed.

Iron has a hugely stable nuclear structure, heavier elements are generally thought to have been formed in Massive shortlived stars that were formed when the universe was young. These early stars died in huge supernavae creating these heavier elements, scattering bits and bobs all over the universe, of which we are made up of bits.

So you are calling Einstein/Max Planck a divvy then smee??

How direct confirmation would you like?? A spoonful, not enough? How about a Coke bottle full??

The processes going on in stars are pretty simple, quantum mechanics explains it pretty well and whether it is the sun, proxima centuri or many other stars the same rules apply.

The ‘colour’ of the stars light is determined by the temperature of the radiating body, the absorption spectrum of the light shows what the star is made of. These rules have been shown to apply pretty much throughout the observable universe. Where the rules do not apply, there are good and understood reasons (in black holes etc.)

The title of the thread was my clue 🙂

I guesed full bike. A grand for a frame opens up a realm of possibility.

Yuk!

Pui is not my cup of tea. Can’t see there being much of a queue..

Stumpy FSR??

Some decent deals on 08 models.

Loads o’choice, or go bling and buy 2nd hand 🙂

Weesus, break out the vegetarian sandals, the lafties are at it again 🙂

Bewing factual and being racist are often very different. We are being programmed not to see the difference.

To use the example.

Calling the hypothetical person an indian idiot. I ain’t got a problem with that.

Calling him a Pakistani idiot is insulting to the majority of Indians and factually incorrect.

A glass of perspective and tonic are needed here.

Translation.

Can we have more funding please….

Conks

can a mod moe this please.

Sorry.

I second the sub zeros, I have worn my wifes ones and my hands get too warm!

I use Spesh submerge gloves in almost all Wweathers.

Good shout, I was thinking more about current ones.

Fortunately Malletts days are long past.

Here is my effort

Cute

We are such sad dads.

Not sure about Nina, will have to sky+ 🙂

Agree with the clothes bit, my son gets the giggles when Riff does his song.

She’s OK, but her voice makes me want to smash things!

Cue the its rude to speak with your mouth full comments 🙂

I got a Niteflux Photon Max. pretty impressed so far.

A mate of mine had focus 1.8 TDCI and had similar issues. Turned out to be cam position sensor, 20 ish for the bit and 5 min to change.

Conks

do they have negative travel (top out)??

Tower Crane driver has left me really impressed.

Its a big song and it was pulled off! 🙂

Conks

Not wrong mate,

Elbow have been one of my fave bands since asleep in the back, they are one of those bands I have never got to see live. Bloody Sky+ won’t let me record it 🙁

A happy conks for seeing a bit of live Elbow.

found it 🙂

Bloody hell, better live than I thought 🙂

what channel??

Must have heard, got a hoodie on now.

Didn’t notice the arm at first, checking out the perkiness.

Pick up a cheap Nikon D40, Small for an SLR and was a huge leap over the Finepix 9500 I had before.

Zafira, new models have all fold flat seats. Right clever.
