Its a split turbo pipe…..
Just had mine done, same symptoms cost about £100 to £120 to get it repaired on a mk3 mondeo
Check out the Talkford website for pictures etc its a common problem

Maybe I should turn off ad_block

Your RCD needs to be sufficiently rated too

I’ll check it later 🙂

Tried putting ball back in and have bought 2 new PRD’s, the last one after a new shower head and hose. Obviously cheaper than a new shower though £8 every few weeks soon adds up!

The existing shower is 7.5KW the new ones are available in 8.5 to 10.5KW so will have to go with 8.5

Not sure what the cable is rated for….its a big thick grey one like what is used for internal wiring to plug sockets etc

I’ve replaced the hose and showerhead and it still blows….fed up of messing about now with what is quite an old shower……and the PRD ball keeps going down the plughole which is annoying when you keep telling the kids to put the plug in!

Just read The Lost Army of Cambyses – Paul Sussman. Good page turner similar to Dan Brown

Now reading Animal Farm

Bird box not cat proof

Looks cat proof to me unless cat’s can now climb up brick walls like furry spidermen!

I have recently successfully ignored one of these……you will get 5 letters in total all increasing the amount you will have to pay….the last letter is from some made up solicitor.
All very formal looking and worrying….I was going to pay until I looked into it.
I wrote to my MP about it but apparently its all legal and above board…like the mafia!

Bullet proof

Stranger in a Strange Land – Robert A. Heinlein

Wishing it would end but want to finish it!

Next in queue, Animal Farm – George Orwell, because Ive never read it and feel that I should have by now!

I had a bit of slippage under strain on these cogs recently…..turned out to be a slightly bent chainring.

Ended up getting a new chainset that was going cheap at CRC…..not slipped since

Its OK but quiet….lots of beaches nearby….Llangrannog, Cymtydu, Tresaith and Penbryn. Similar to Cornwall but not as dramatic.

Also not too far from Aberystwyth and Cardigan.

I used to be the milkman there for 12 months in the mid 90’s 😕

Got an AGA Little Wenlock in a sale for £500 ish and its excellent.

4.7KW so you dont have to put vents in your room!

Has it got Clangers on it?

+1 for the Bolle Contour…there are clear or slightly yellow versions which are both OK at night

Is that a comment on me, or a suggestion of what to write on the stem cap, or both!

Purely stem cap….sorry for any confusion

I also like a button badge I saw recently “I love tits”

that one might not go down too well with the laydeez though…

Arse

My hardtail is an old inbred…not 456 but it rides great with 130mm z1 freerides.
Feels better than 100mm to me

Dont know…still trying to crack the 10mph average…. 😯

Prefer to ride clean nowadays listening to the sound of nature…. 🙂

More beer than cycling but still enjoyed it

do ppl find their ass saver works?! mine has been the biggest disappointment ever!

Never thought mine did much……..went out on my new bike though without one and after a couple of puddles thought ***K wish I’d stuck the Ass saver on!

Bender fender here too……been meaning to make some for my other bikes but haven’t found suitable plastic sheet yet…

hmmm..misread the checkout….thought it said including postage…..it is in fact plus postage…not sure how much postage is though

rosebikes seem best so far £66 squid front and rear without rotors with free postage for m596 ‘s

Insist she wears a school uniform whilst riding her kids bike….

Alternatively just wait until she is more proficient and then ask her to have a go on a 26″ wheeled bike…..she wont look back

I use the back step….keeps the neighbours away too 😀

Stone…probably from Lee Quarry

I do Bacup to Manchester….about 40mins to 50mins
Also Bacup to Warrington….About an hour

Hebden to Bacup would be about 15 – 20 mins

I once saw a guy with Lycra shorts over his jeans!!!!!!

Superman?

Got my daughter one of these with 20″ wheels and took the stabilizers off

http://www.saracen.co.uk/bikes/2012/jnr/bella

She’s 5 and was getting a bit big for the balance bike. She now happily rides along the pavement….. didn’t need the stabilizers

Just got the 2011 version and I wouldn’t say it was particularly steep….Normally ride an Inbred and it doesn’t feel that different.

Not sure if its slacker than the 2008 version though!

looks like you’ll be needing a cheap plasterer….know any?

***UPDATE***

Took it too the LBS who hit it with a variety of hammers until the bearings came out then hack sawed some other bits that were fused to the frame.

It was a raceface BB and the cups had sheared off which was why it wouldn’t budge.

New hollowtech bb fitted now along with new chainset.

enjoyed troll hunter recently

pirates………diggin for treasure….aarrrghh

Banned for life I heard….seems a tad harsh but then again I didn’t follow the thread that got him banned

Look good for the money

Here’s how I remember them

Is it to turn the shower off?
