    What car is that on Moggy? Every service checklist I have ever read (OK, only BMW/Ford/BL/GM-Vaux. and Pug.) starts with the basic oil/plugs/filters change. These stay as the basics as one climbs up the service ladder to the 400 point check (BMW 400 point check – other cars have a similar). Air filters should be changed every 5,000 miles. If you have a steel mesh one, it needs putting in the dishwasher every 5k miles. (Then coating again with the spray stuff)

    He will be killed in 2012 with a the work of God and good sense.
    He should have been killed dozens of years ago, but now…business wants Africa. China is now outpricing itself – higher prices coupled with appaling quality and of course no intellectual contribution to the product.
    Vietnam and Cambodia are now at the front, but they will soon outprice themselves with greed. Africa is the next continent for the businesses to exploit, but clowns like Mugabe need murdering by the good people of the CIA, and the African people need to want the change, they don’t at the moment – they want it handed on a plate.
    When Mugabe is killed, we should all dance, even more so than the death of Saddo and the Col.

    More and more I hear about garages doing a very poor service like this. I do my own stuff like you (Or pay PROPER experts to do it) but some people I know with cars under warranty have put Biro marks on Air filters to see if they get changed. They don’t. If they can’t be bothered doing the air filter, the rest of the service must be rubbish. The stamp in the book means nothing these days.
    And, if you have an old car, not worth giving it to the main dealer garage for a service, as it’s an old car they will put a trainee on it (To save the expense of him/her messing up a really expensive new one).
    BTW, 200 miles won’t discolour the oil. Give it 500 and report back.

    Chauchesku gunned down by a frezied mob.

    Saddam Hussein sentenced to hang.

    Gadaffi executed by revolutionaries……..

    Maybe Despotic Dictator is not the hot career choice it once was :diablo:

    Castro should be OK, as he has not really oppressed Cuba, just held it in a time warp. Mugabbe, though, it really is high time he got the ‘good news’ !

    As for dear Muammar, there will be few tears shed for him in Lockerbie tonight, or indeed anywhere. Those fuzzie wuzzies, they don’t like it up ’em !

    No, the official version is “Caught in crossfire”.
    It just so happens that the crossfire was 1 metre away!

    Hoisted by my own petard!!

    I got a flash from a speed camera last weekend. I was doing 130km ph in a 90 on the motorway in Belgium. I forgot that the speed limit drops near junctions. (from 130 to 90 or from 100 to 60 km ph)

    See if I get a fine.

    Does Mr Openreach have to come to the house? I phoned BT and they ran a diag. check of some sort and said the line was OK. Well, the line would be OK, the phone and sky link works perfectly. The internet works perfectly…..just slow in some circumstances, hence my checking the DL speed.
    New router hasn’t arrived at my UK home yet.
