Is that 3-5 working days, 3-5 public holiday days or 3-5 days without a Y in them?

Congrats, now you've got an apprentice. Having someone with little hands is always useful.

Reminds me of a poster that started appearing around Central London sponsored by some bunch of vegans. It showed a picture of a sheep and a dog and the caption said "Why do we keep one as a pet and kill the other?". Someone had written on one, "because we aren't in Korea....."

You should have said, we did the one in the Ascot on Monday, you could have called round and seen how it's done.

O-rings and switch pack aren't exactly major problems

But the O rings are to some people, it's a huge job that is going to take days to do. My record is down to 26 minutes.......

It'll have Dunlops on it then (or Britpart....).

I fully appreciate the problem, however, in this house, Dina is the one baking in the sun outside doing battle with a Honda powered mower while I've been inside watch the GP from Spa......

First thing would be to check and see if you have Dunlop or Firestone springs. I wasn't even aware that there was anything other than Dunlops to be quite honest.

They need to touch the metal sleeve in the centre of the mounting but not be touching the rubber part. The compressor also needs to be held up far enough that it doesn't touch the bottom of the plastic box.

Or just hit the flat ones with a ball peen hammer......

It's a diesel thing.....

Put the washers on the EAS pump the right way up and the problem will be solved, you'll never hear it running without sticking your ear to it. On each mounting point it should have two dished washers. The bottom ones should be concave side down and the top ones should be concave side up.

This is the one I used, worked perfectly http://www.lsoft.net/unformat.aspx

Heights look right but it definitely sounds like you got your lines crossed. The lines should have coloured sleeves at each end on them. Check to see if yours do. As you look at the valve block from the other side of the car there's the 4 outlets for each spring and the ones toward the front of the car are for the front springs. It should be front right (green sleeve) at the top and front left (no sleeve so black) at the bottom. If they are no longer wrapped in their loom, it's easy to get those two mixed up.

I downloaded some software to recover pictures from the memory card from my camera after my ex unplugged it from the USB port without shutting it down. It recovered all bar about 3 from over 400 pictures. It's installed on my desktop computer but I'll fire it up in teh morning and have a look and see which one it was. It had to be paid for but I think it was only 10 Dollars or something like that. The free undelete programs tend to only show you what they can find but not let you recover them.

Not at all. If you crop the X1-9 off the left side but leave the right side as it is, you can just see the stack of headlining shells waiting for Dina to clean them off.

You're right. NSR on the Ascot is well bubbled, OSR is pristine with no bubbling at all. NSR on both the SE and mine have a very small amount of bubbling at the bottom but OSR on both has none. Very odd.

Hmmm, that might be interesting.

Quite possibly but it doesn't matter as I've got the same cover for UK only with the AA as an add on to my bank account (one of these paid for accounts that people keep phoning me up and trying to convince me to claim the fee back). So it's the AA if I'm in the UK and ADAC if I'm not. Came in handy a couple of years ago when my mates Peugeot 406 HDi ate it's turbo and started trying to run on sump oil on the A8 between Cannes and Nice at midnight. The ADAC cover is worth it for anyone that goes over there more than a couple of times a year (see https://www.adac.de/mitgliedschaft/adac_membership/). It says you have to be resident in Germany but that is only because the fee pay system can't cope with a non-German address, you have to speak to them and pay by bank transfer.

Just tried it, It looks like a mod can't ban users, only admin so that is down to Gordon. However, he came back online 14 minutes ago so stand by for more spam posts.......
